Baby Words
The flat in Thonburi in February, Mali seven months old on the mat and Ploy visiting: what did she just say; nothing yet, but the food word is eat; peekaboo is hiding your face; pat-a-cake is clapping; and waving her arms like that; that's pick me up, and she asks Dad only; splash-splash is the bath, and sleep is sleep; Dad is me, and she hasn't said it yet: the baby words and games everyone knows, each with its grown-up word.
