I had brought my grandson to New York to see a show. Because what is he always doing, up here in Oneonta? Singing and dancing, sometimes to my old show-tune records, but more often than not to his favorite CD, Babar Sings!, sometimes even making up his own steps, which I do not mind, or rather I try not to mind it. Although I admit that once, coming into his room and finding him wearing a pink boa while singing, in the voice of the Old Lady, "I Have Never Met a Man Like That Elephant," I had to walk out and give it some deep thought and prayer, as was also the case when he lumbered into the parlor during a recent church couples dinner, singing "Big and Slow, Yet So Very Regal," wearing a tablecloth spray-painted gray, so as to more closely resemble Babar.
Being a man who knows something about grandfatherly disapproval, having had a grandfather who constantly taunted me for having enlarged calves-to the extent that even today, when bathing, I find myself thinking unkind thoughts about Grandfather-what I prayed on both occasions was: Dear Lord, he is what he is, let me love him no matter what. If he is a gay child, God bless him; if he is a non-gay child who simply very much enjoys wearing his grandmother's wig while singing "Edelweiss" to the dog, so be it, and in either case let me communicate my love and acceptance in everything I do.

Mrs. Faniglia, I, for one, do not believe that any baby wants to sit around all day going glub glub glub. My feeling is that a baby, sitting in its diaper, looking around at the world, thinks to itself, albeit in some crude nonverbal way: What the heck is wrong with me, why am I the only one saying glub glub glub while all these other folks are talking in whole complete sentences?
And as far as what you said, about Derek sort of flinching whenever that voice issues forth from him? When that speaker near his mouth sort of buzzes his lips? May I say this is not unusual? What I suggest? Try putting the ICS on Derek for a short time at first, maybe ten minutes a day, then gradually building up his Wearing Time. That is what we did. And it worked super. Now Billy wears his even while sleeping. In fact, if we forget to put it back on after his bath, he pitches a fit. Sort of begs for it! He starts to say, you know, "Mak! Mak!" (Which we think is his word for mask.) And when we put the mask on and Velcro the Velcro, he says-or it says rather, the ICS2100 says-"GUTEN MORGEN, PAPA!" because we have installed the German Learning module.
Which is why we came up with the ICS2100. With the ICS2100, your baby looks just like your baby. And because we do not want anyone to be unhappy with us, we would like to make you the gift of a complimentary ICS2100 upgrade! We would like to come to your house on Lester Way and make a personalized plaster cast of Derek's real, actual face! And soon, via FedEx, here will come Derek's face in a box, and when you slip that ICS2 100 over Derek's head and Velcro the Velcro, he will look nearly exactly like himself, plus we have another free surprise, which is that, while at your house, we will tape his actual voice and use it to make our phrases, the phrases Derek will subsequently say. So not only will he look like himself, he will sound like himself, as he crawls around your home, appearing to speak!
"Şu bataklık meselesine kafam takıldı ... " "O konuyu kapatın artık! Bataklıkla ilgili gerekeni söyledim ve bitti." "O bataklığın içinden geçen dereler buz-dokuz olup donarsa, onlarla beslenen nehirlere ve göllere ne olur?" "Donarlar. Fakat buz-dokuz diye bir şey yok." "Peki, nehirlerin döküldüğü okyanuslar?" "Onlar da donar elbette," diye tersledi beni doktor. "Şimdi koşa koşa gidip buz-dokuz ile ilgili sansasyonel bir haber yaparsınız. Tekrar söylüyorum. Öyle bir şey yok!" "Peki ya donmuş gölleri ve nehirleri besleyen kaynaklar ile bunları besleyen tüm yeraltı suları?" "Hepsi donar, Tanrı'nın cezası!" diye parladı adam. "V elakin ben sizin sarı basının bir mensubu olduğunuzu bilseydim," dedi azametle ayağa kalkarak, "tek dakikamı bile harcamazdım sizinle!" "Peki yağmur?"
