Today, the Nugget was on his play phone. Is there anything better than when small children talk into play phones? Usually his conversations consist of, "Hello? Hello? Hello? Hi Grammy-Grandpa. Bye-bye." Today, it went like this, "Hello? Hi Octopus. Octopus riding airplane? To Chicago. (passing the phone to me) Mommy, it an Octopus." Later, the Octopus called back to let the Nugget know he had arrived safely in Chicago, then asked to be put on speaker phone to say hello to the fishies.
