Joan and Snookums take a walk around their neighborhood in Jersey City. They pass a Sikh man in a turban.
Snookums (pointing at turban): Hat! Hat!
Joan: Yes, yes, sweetie, that's a hat.
They pass a gangbanger.
Snookums (pointing at gangbanger's enormous, half-laced Timberland boots): Shoe! Shoe!
Joan: Yes, that's right, that's a shoe.
Snookums (pointing at gangbanger's snarling pit bull): WOOF WOOF WOOF! WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF!
Dog goes berserk, barking its head off and straining at its leash. Joan tries to get Snookums past the dog without it managing to sink its fangs in her tender flesh. Snookums continues to bark like a maniac.
Joan (trying to distract Snookums): Look, honey, look at the bird!
Snookums (looks up): Tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet!
They pass a soccer field.
Snookums: Ball! Ball! Ball! Points at passing Arab woman in headscarf pushing a stroller. Hat! Hat! HAT! HAAAAT!!!!
Joan (points to woman's baby in stroller): Look, honey, look! What's that?
Snookums (quietly): Baby. Points at baby's nose. No?
Joan: Yes, that's right, that's the baby's nose.
Snookums (points at baby's eye): Ah! Ah!
Joan: Yes, that's the baby's eye, very good.
Snookums passes gas, makes farting noise with her mouth, laughs uproariously.

Only 15 Months Old, and Already Making Fart Jokes
I may have created a monster -- or a comedic genius.
A while back, I started a joke with Snookums where I'd make farting noises with my mouth when she passed gas. Then the other day, Snookums was perusing a baby magazine and came upon an ad for Desitin, featuring a baby's bare bum. She immediately started making farting noises with her mouth.
At first I thought she was just making the noise randomly. But a few pages later, there was another photo of a baby's behind -- and she pointed at it and started making those farting noises again.
I still can't believe she can make the connection between a noise she makes with her mouth and an image of a butt. That's a lot of abstraction.
So is it brilliance or precocious immaturity when a preverbal toddler acts like a 12-year-old, or the former President of the United States?
