Maybe I just talked to everyone until I wore myself out and went to bed.

It was a long time ago, but I have grand kids and they can surely talk one's ear off about so many things.

When my youngest grandson was a baby he babbled, but only his brother and sister could translate. We called it Jakson-ese.

At 6 years old he loved to start sentences with "Apparently...." My husband and I had trouble listening to the rest as we were trying to stifle the laughter that wanted to bubble out.

Sigh. Kids.

I have a niece that is high functioning Asperger's - she even let me hug her.
