At Cricket's, she has this One-year-old and a half nephew.
He's adorable.
And loves to slobber.
Anyway.
As I exited the bathroom, the little guy came up to me, pointed to some distant point behind himself and began talking in jibber-jabber. He would then intend to pause and let me reply in whatever manner I wanted. For the first time, I was literally stunned to silence. I had no idea what to say (which is very rare for me). Then, as if my silence was an answer he could live with, he continues to speak in baby-tongues.
His mom comes around the fridge (hahahaha, I'M HORRIBLE, ACKKKK) and says, "Just say go away and push him away."
"I can't! He's trying to conversate with me... I would feel bad if I just left in the middle."
I hear Cricket giggle from her room and the nephew's mom just gives me this confused expression. "Just walk away."
"No! I don't know what to do. It'll be rude if I walk away or just ignore him. I can't do that to anyone else."
The nephew talks more, glancing between me and his mom, "sdlfndsfgdsgdnjgdg blah mama afdsfmnfsd."
He ceased talking and just looked at me with his big eyes and we stared at each for a minute and to solve my rudeness factor I just wave and say, "Byyyyeeee!"
He replies, "Byeee!"
So, the point of this is if anyone else feels the same way I do. I don't want the kid to think he's nothing to me, haha. I would just feel so rude treating him like a dog barking at my feet, or a cat meowing at my feet, ackkkk.
hahaha, that was amazing, of all the blogs I read, yours has the most spunk, and this story is probably my favorite. I can just picture the child so well. That and my niece acts the same way.
