A Conversation with Noah

(This happens most mornings while stepping outside to walk Cora to school.)

Momma: Listen to the birds Noah, can you hear all of the birdies up in the trees?
Noah: (looking up in the trees) CACK! CACK! (quacking loudly like a duck)
Momma: Yes, that is what a duck says, these birds are saying "tweet, tweet". Can you say "tweet, tweet"
Noah: CACK! CACK! CACK!
Momma: Yes, that is a duck. What do birdies say? Say, "tweet, tweet"
Noah: CACK! CACK! CACK!
Momma: Yes, good boy Noah, cack, cack.

(I guess if he gets to college and thinks a bird says quack, then it will be all my fault!)
