   Why does Luci only have hair on the top of her head? It looks like the rest has been shaved.

   Luci’s hair has always been something of a baby fade–I think it really hasn’t started growing in yet.

   It does not take long before your mind turns to mush when you are surounded by the drool machines.

   Ms. Eliot, are you gonna age Luci to run around with Max or keep her an infant?

   CoBass, hope you’re reading today: thanks for the tip about urbandictionary, I passed it on to my daughter who works with immigrants.

   I remember bits of baby talk slipping in at work. My supervisor kept reminding me that professionals don’t use the term “boo-boo.”

    I think we’re weird parents…the words “num num” have never crossed my lips and we use phrases like “artistic decision” in answering the “whys” of our three-year-old.

    Well arsmall, Jan will age Luci–but timeframe of Stone Soup is 1 year of strip-time = 3 years real-time.

    Is “num-num” Joan-speak for “Nanaimo-bar”?

    (admittedly, it doesn’t look like that’s the case)
