   Sounds like my three year old…which might be why my brother wants to give him plutonium for his next birthday and see what happens.

   I wonder if he knows “flash point”.

   What has that child been watching?
    
   My grand-daughter knows “Time for Mommy’s nap” when her mommy got a little overwrought…

   Maybe he’s been watching the old Road Runner cartoon where the coyote is always detonating something.

   fairportfan, it vaguely reminds me of Andrea’s pregnancy with Zenith on Cathy (I know, that’s really digging deep into archiveds) where Andrea had played classical music and read literary works for fivemonths–then walked a few minutes in front of a store selling TV’s, where one was actually playing.

   Her in-utero daughter was “balooning” the words, “Hordak”, “Skeletor”, “Starscream”,…

   My two-year-old struggles with the difference between “me,” “I” and “you,” but he can tell you the difference between a backhoe, an excavator and a front-end loader … explosions and demolition equipment are MUCH more interesting to the average two-year-old than the intricacies of grammar.

    Ok Joy618, I saw your post; my thought was that yesterday’s strip, like most Stone Soup strips, was a singleton–ergo, it had no discernible connexion with the tattoo-strip thread).

    (btw, namaste is Hindi, which is not my native tongue–in which the equivalent is vannakkam)
    ;)

    One of my son’s first words (phrases) was Global Thermal Nuclear War. Thanks to my hubby. However, we received many compliments on his pronunciation ability as he was growing up.

    Never knew of an American child who could actually say “truck”. It always comes out as the F-word with toddlers.

    prasrinivara…It’s not my native tongue either, to some of us namaste means…the Divine in me greets the Divine in you!

    Good day to you.

    There was a sequence in “Foxtrot” a few ears ago where Paige was babysitting the four-year next door and she watched Jerry Springer.
     
    The kid began saying (let’s say) “Bleep” over and over. Paige said “on bloop!” and the kid began saying “Bleep bloop!”.
     
    So Paige asked her if seh wanted to watch Barney, and she was going “Bleep Barney!”
     
    Inappropriate for a four-year old, maybe, but somehow approriate overall…
