Dear Spike:
You don't have a lot of words.
You say "mama" a lot. And "phapa" (dad?) sometimes.
Occassionally you ask to be picked "up" and once in a while, when we leave the grocery store or a friend's home, you say "bye bye."
And that was about it until late last week, when just after a bath, your mother and I were commenting on what a cute little bottom you have.
"Butt!" you cried.
"What?!" we asked.
"Butt! Butt! Butt!!!!!!" you squealed.
The average adult knows tens of thousands of words. And so I realize that this is just one of many, many words you will one day come to use in conversation. So I don't mind — not really.
After all, we've all got one. And I suppose you're going to need to know what to call it.
Love,
dad
