Little Bubble Man
Okay, I’m sitting here in the living room. Mommy and Gavin are in the next room. Gavin has a little plastic play figure whose name I don’t know. (I think it may be one of Spiderman’s many and varied nemeses.)
Gavin: “Hmmm. Idida. Mama? Ika.”
Mommy: “Really?”
Gavin: “Mama? Ika. Ibah.”
Mommy: “This.”
Gavin: “Hmmmm. Ow. Ow! Whee. Uh-oh. Maaa. Wheee! Wow.”
[pause]
Gavin: “Ow. OW! Mama? OWWW!”
Mommy: “Did he bite you, Gavin? Oh, I’m sorry.”
Mommy [talking to little plastic figure]: “Little Bubble Man, that’s not kind. You’ll need to sit here and be calm until you’re ready to say ‘I’m sorry’ to Gavin.”
Adorable.
