Subject: RE: BS: HAPPY BIRTHDAY KENDALL!
I don't want to be left out on this, Kendall! I'm so glad to hear that you are getting your voice back. Reminds me of an old joke (as Spaw says that you collect them.) A young couple had their first child and they became increasingly concerend when he didn't start to talk. The specialists tried everything they could think of, but the child remained silent. One day, when he was a couple of years old, he was sitting in his high chair and his Mother placed a bowl of oatmeal in front of him. When he tasted it, he turned to his Mother and said, "Mother, this oatmeal is too cold!" The Mother almost passed out from shock and said, "I didn't know you could talk! Why haven't you said anything?" The child answered, "Up until now, everything was allright."

The way I heard it, they didn't mention the name of the child, but he had a full beard at two. :-)
