Here comes the Bu….

April
20

My father in-law, who is a brilliant doctor, worried a few months ago that his only grandchild might have a hearing problem. It seemed that when he and my mother-in-law sat with the little boy, he wouldn’t respond to the simplest of commands.

He has nothing to worry about. Turns out it was just stubbornness, not hearing impairment or disrespect.

Our toddler now sits in the living room of our 4th floor apartment and screams out each time he hears a city bus near the stop on the corner. It’s very impressive.

Now while hearing isn’t an issue, pronouncing the letter ’s’ might be. As the M7 or M11 approaches our block, my son breaks into a smile, points to the window and yells out ‘Bu, Bu’.
