Mamie's day |
[posted by bkmarcus] |
Maman's maman is called Mamie. Today is her birthday. Benjamin's maman called her maman to wish her joyeux anniversaire and let her hear her grandson babble into the speaker phone.
Phone calls with Benjamin are usually more fun on this end than they are on the remote end. We get to see him trying to kiss the phone or (as of today) blowing kisses to the phone, but since these aren't video phones, the person at the other end doesn't see anything and doesn't get to hear much of anything either.
Until today.
Benjamin said "Mamie" into the phone.
Nathalie and I looked at each other astonished, each confirming that the other had heard him say what he said. Then she tried to get him to say it again so his Mamie could hear it better. I said, "No, he never says a new word twice." But I was wrong. He said it again.
Joyeux Anniversaire, Mamie!
(and an early Happy Mother's Day, too)
