Alice: Can I get a balloon? Can we go to the cereal aisle? Can we go look at the birthday cakes? Mom: Maybe. Alice: Can I put my hand in the pickled barrel? Can we rent a carpet shampooer? Can we go smell the cheese that smells like feet? Woman: My. Aren't you a cute little chatterbox! Alice: What's that net on her head for? Mom: Alice. That's a veil. Alice: I thought it was some kind of old lady radar.
My daughter started talking at about 18 months. By the time she was two it was constant (just like Alice). We were grocery shopping one day and she was going strong, my ears were buzzing. So I grabbed her little shoulders and leaned toward her and said “Will you please be quiet?!” She replied “Hack hack! You’re choking me!” I was so surprised I released her shoulders and stepped back! Then I stepped forward grabbed her shoulders and said “If you don’t be quiet, I WILL choke you!” She was quiet for about 3 minutes. sigh
