What Are You Saying?!

Here's a cute story from December 2004. (I'm telling ya -- I've got them stockpiled!) Bergen would've been about 2-1/2 at this time.

Bergen wasn't falling asleep easily that night. At about 9:30 p.m., when Jay went in to check on him, Bergen was sitting up in bed writing on little sheets of paper with markers. He told Jay he was making "tags."

When I went in to check on him at 10:30, he was still awake -- but the paper and markers were put away and he was cuddled up in his blankets. I said, "Daddy said you made tags."

Bergen said, "Yay! I get to wake up!" He thought I said, "Daddy made eggs."

I said, "No, honey -- Daddy said you made tags."

He looked at me bewildered.

I repeated myself, "Daddy said you made tags."

He sat up, looked at me in exasperation and said, "What are you SAYING?"
