Those Humans
I didn't quite notice it at first but the last time he said it I knew he wasn't just my son.
Few days ago, while waiting to be served by one of the clerks behind the computers at the hospital, my soon-to-be five son asked out of the blue:
What are those humans doing with the computer, dad?"
They are processing our records. Wait! What do you mean "humans"?, I eyed him quizzically.
Those humans playing with the computer, he said pointing a finger.
Yeah, but why do you call them "humans"?
Because they are!
Nothing wrong with that I thought and before we could continue the discussion it was our turn with the human clerk at the computer.
Then, a few days later, while giving him a shower, some foam got in his eyes by accident.
Stop it, you human! I can't see a thing!
I laughed it off and apologised and finished off the shower.
That same evening, while reading a book, I hear someone talk in a deep, resounding voice on the telly.
We cannot let the humans pay for our mistakes!
Ah, yes. It was then that I realised I had just had the honor of given a shower to a little Optimus Prime.
Transformers! Roll out!

Very cute! Maybe you should get him a little robot, like Pleo, to play with.
