We still call our youngest child who is a 2-year-old girl “the baby.” Seeing that she is our last, she will probably always be “the baby.” I know because as the youngest of 9 children, at 40, I am still, “the baby.”

Today after awaking from her nap, our littlest girl needed her diaper changed. I said, “You’re dirty. You need your diaper changed.”

She was laying on the changing table, and she said, “I am not.”

I said, “You are dirty,” and I proceeded with changing her diaper.

She put her hands over her ears and shouted, “I can’t hear you!”
