SCENE: A small kitchen adjacent to a dining room with a table and four chairs. KAYLEE and DAD entertain themselves at the table while MOM dishes up dinner at the stove.
KAYLEE: Momee? Bhytes?
(Kaylee is served a plate of Manwich, beans and mac and cheese.)
KAYLEE: Joos? Pees joos? (Almost a whisper.) Haat. Bow. (She blows on her food and takes a bite.)
(Mom delivers the cup of juice she left in the kitchen.)
DAD: There's your juice. Now say thank you.
(MOM brings a plate for DAD and herself and sits down. They all begin to eat.)
KAYLEE: (Chowing down.) Teetoo. Teetoo. Teetoo. Teetoo. Momee? (Points at MOM'S plate.) Bhyte? Cheeze?
MOM: Yes Kaylee. Mommy has macaroni and cheese too.
KAYLEE: (Points across table at glass.) Deenk? Wawer?
MOM: Yes Kaylee. Mommy has water.
KAYLEE: (Pats the top of her own glass.) Joos. (Back to eating.) Teetoo. Teetoo. (Undecipherable jabber.) Dahdee? (More jabber.)
(DAD looks at MOM. Both share a perplexed look. KAYLEE continues to eat, and jabber.)

I so completely love that kid.
She says "please". Or, peas. I admit that for a moment I was concerned that you were giving her pea juice, but then I remembered how to speak baby.
