We are now transitioning to a stage where Matt and I have to watch our words when Luke is around. He's a full-grown little parrot who can regurgitate full sentences, even dialogues! Add this to his premature sense of humor, one will heap (sometimes side-splitting) embarassment upon thyself (and sometimes, unfortunately, innocent others).
Case in point is a (corny) joke I pulled on Matt at the Zoo. We were stopping by at Luke's favorite Hamadryas Baboons, which were famous for their...er...big red bottoms. Inspired by their playful mannerisms and prankish behavior on one another, I, without much thought of course, joked, "Luke, look at their big red buns - just like Daddy's!" Ha, ha, ha...It was funny at the time (to me and Luke), but I didn't expect that it would get even more hilarious when Luke repeated the joke to our visiting guests from the U.S (and intern at Matt's company- oops). When asked what Luke saw at the Zoo, Luke belted, "We saw the Big Red Buns at the Zoo, JUST LIKE DADDY'S! Hahahaha!"
Sorry Matt, I won't do that again.
