Okpush Has It

Back in the dark days of house showings, last fall, we killed many an evening hour at the Barnes & Noble in our old neighborhood. One of Julia's favorite things there was a mammoth display of desk globes, which were fun to spin and name: "Dobe." Monday, intently studying her sippy, she realized (for the nth time) that the bespectacled octopus on the cup was holding a globe. Usually this elicts a giggle or just, "Dobe!" This time, though, she unleashed her first three-word sentence: "Dobe. Okpush has it." I just about choked on my cream cheese.
