Kabacartareesh-a! ScareeshhhhttTA! That’s what Zachary said today. Got my attention – but the hand he held up had all five fingers, vertical – talk about relief - because the tone of voice, the seriousness of those squenched eyebrows – I knew I was in serious trouble. I mean, he’s only four months but I knew my number was up. ScareeshhhhttTA! In a couple of years I’m going to ask him what he meant, and if he remembers, he may be standing at the intersection of those two walls in the hallway – for a loooong time! Kabacartareesh-a! That’s the one Momma asked me about. And learning early, I lied! © w. james beard, jr. march 2008 |

Wonderful!! I am sure those sounds do have great meaning! Ask him early, because he might forget ... Enjoyed this one greatly! My grandson is five months old (tomorrow) and I so love to see him and hear him talk on my monitor! Will go visit him soon. Love, Margherita |

If he grows up to be a poet it's not going to be easy to find a word that rhymes with his word. Ida |
