She Knows Her Name...

...and it is Buggy!

Liesel was spending time in her Exer-Saucer with her back to Dad repeating her syllables, "Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, ha ha!" Dad had Mom's last comment fresh in his mind. They call the kids by their nicknames (Buddy & Buggy) or other cute names, the kids don't know their real (formal or informal) ones.

Dad tested this. He repeated her babble, "Bah, bah, bah, baby." She did not respond.

He called her by her informal name, "Liesel." She did not respond.

He carefully measured his voice to imitate the two previous tests and called, "Buggy."

She promptly turned and smiled at him. Coincidence? Perhaps.
