ask Miss Judie (my wife) about the first vocabulary of our precious son
Aero....Aero
hangs out with dad.........later that day Miss Judie reports that she is driving
in traffic with Aero and he utters his earliest full sentence(s)......she says
"your
son spoke today"....really I say, he spoke?......yes she says, he loudly and
distinctly
said "Go! F---er go, go f---er go!" to the cars in front of us
ah a proud day indeed Joe
