Beanie and the Bumbo

August 24, 2009 /

“Hey, Mom,” said the Bean.   “What is this thing?”

“Its called a Bumbo, Beanie.   It helps you learn how to sit up on your own.”

“Oh yeah?” said Beanie.   “Well why can’t I just sit up on my own without the Bimbo?”

“Bumbo,” I say.   “And you can’t sit up on your own yet because you don’t have great control over your head.”

“What are you talking about?” asked Beanie.   “I’ve got perfect control of my head.”

“Are you sure, Beanie?” I say.   “Because you look like you’re leaning a little, Buddy.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Mom.”

“Well, Beanie,” I say.   “You’re getting better, but you still need a little help.   That’s where the Bumbo comes in.   It’ll help with your center of gravity.”

“Mom,” said Beanie.   “Have you seen my belly?   I really don’t think I’ll have a problem with my center of gravity.   I’m like a weeble wobble.”

“Maybe,” I said.   “But let’s stick with the Bumbo for a while.”

“Fine.   Whatever.   You people bore me.”
