The other day, Bean was carrying her play phone around the house, chatting away as usual. (She gets this form of imitation from her Daddy, of course).
I happened to join into her "conversation"
Bean: "Hello? What you doing?"
A pause. She stops and looks at me. "Mommy, it's Joey"
Mommy: "Joey? Who is Joey?" (The only two Joes we know are adults).
Bean: "It's Joey!"
Mommy: "Ok, it's Joey. What's Joey doing?"
Bean: (into the phone again) "Joey? What you doing?"
Another pause. "He's in the bathtub"
Um, what?
Shaun gets wind of this, asks to talk to Joey and holds the phone to his ear.
Shaun: "Joey? Do I know you? Do I know your parents? Why are you talking to Bean while you're in the tub?"
Joey better watch it. Daddy's onto him already.
