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?
