along with this talking thing

all of the baby books and the internet and friends with babies and grandmothers at the supermarket tell you to talk back to your baby and answer his questions with real responses that stimulate conversation. so that you have conversations that go something like this:


baby-fantashatagwonteeennsgattt?

parent-yes, i think you're right, finnegan.

baby-awwwmpa danntteee wodagbbbdddpt!

parent-oh, really? well, i think that's a good idea.


but, what if we're agreeing to things that we really shouldn't be agreeing to? what if in the previous conversation we've just promised to buy fifty cats and name them all peanut butter?
