Me: So how are y’all doing?
Bud: Eeeeek! Eeek! Eek!
Baby: EEEKK!!!
Me: Okay…still losing a bunch in translation here. Was that a happy eek? Or an angry eek? or…
Bud: Monsters!
Baby: Uh-huh. Yep!
Me: Do you mean the bulldogs and the cat?
Bud: Eeek! Chirp. Sharp mouth things.
Baby: Yep. Monsters with sharp mouth things.
Me: You mean teeth. Yeah. But they won’t hurt you. They can’t get to you. I know they’re big and take some getting used to.
Bud: Don’t get used to monsters.
Baby: Yep. Never get used to monsters. Bad idea. Chirp. But thank you for the millet spray. Chirp. Good idea.
