The kid is not yet two, and, thus still a baby in my book. He says "ant" for hand and "nunny" for bunny, (which is of course appropriate evolution from it's orignal moniker, "Nana") So I was a bit taken aback by this sudden multisyllabic expression--much less while sending the football sky high.
Remembering that he is, after all, clairvoyant, I could only come to one conclusion: he must be channeling his namesake, my long-dead grandfather, the biggest Oklahoma football fan of all times. "Hello Moodaddy," I said to my son (mom's father raised Santa Gertrudis cattle in East Texas, so that's, of course, what we called him,) "If you're in there please give Mimi a kiss for me--oh, and if you can let little Parker know that he needs to go pee and poop on the potty before he can quarterback, I'd really appreciate it."
