Me: “I’m filling out the questionnaire for [school] for Anna, and I can’t remember some of the stuff they want to know. Do you remember how old she was when she first started talking and using full sentences?”
She: “Gee, why don’t you look in her baby book?”
Me: (waits for the laughter to susbside) “No, really. Do you remember?”
She: “Why would I know that?”
Me: “Okay, you’re a pediatrician. What’s normal?”
She: “Oh, wait, how old was she when she got tubes in her ears?”
Me: “One.” (In fact, her surgery was on her first birthday.)
She: “She started talking right after that, remember? She barely talked at all before the tubes.”
Me: “Right! We were afraid she’d never learned to talk.”
She: “About a month after the surgery she was spouting off in full sentences. And she hasn’t shut up since!”
I’m going to come back yet again since i have book marked it. Money and freedom is the greatest way to change, may you be rich and continue to help other people.
If it makes you feel any better, your niece did the same thing when she got her tubes.
Of course, when SHE turned 13, she stopped talking to me again.
