From the Mouths of Babes, &tc.

Her mother already blogged about the question that suggests Julia's in for a lifetime of geekery (or being smarter than most senators, who just fake it), but the girl's been uncorking some other good utterances. A ten-minute span tonight should illustrate.

First, after watching a few minutes of video showing her 10-month-old self just starting to crawl, she walked around saying, "I'm you when I was a tiny baby." Then, in the tub, she sang a few lines of Ernie's "Rubber Duckie" song, albeit altered a bit: "Rubber duckie, I'm awfully funny [fond] of you, do-be-do-be-do/Every day whiff [when] I make my way to the tubby," over and over - not ever going on to the next lines, which she knows but chooses not to sing. It's a radical reading of the song, really. Finally, after getting out of her bath and hearing her little sister fart rather appallingly, she giggled and said, "I'm Passing Some Gas - isn't that a funny name?"

Yes, it is.
