“Bean?” I said.  “Where are you?  You’re not on your play mat…”

“…And your not in your high chair…”

“Hey, Mom!” said Bean.  “I’m right here!”

“Where?” I said.

“Right here!”

“What are you doing under the table, Beanie?”

“Well,” he said.  “I’m trying to get over to the couch.”

“How come?” I said.

“Because I don’t want to crawl around on the floor,” he said.

“How come?” I asked.

“Because, Mom,” he said.  “Big boys walk on their feet.  And I am a big boy.”

“Oh,” I said.

“And also because I have a dirty diaper and I don’t want to sit in it anymore,” he said.
