GrumpyDaddy

Our youngest has reached that delightful age where he's really working hard on learning to speak. Not that he's been a quiet boy until now - oh no - he has a fine set of pipes on him and has always been very vocal. I say vocal, what I mean is very very loud. I blame my wife.

But anyway, he's now learning words and manages a few new ones every day. Here at home he's increasingly able to tell us what he wants without having to point. Being typical proud parents we're delighted with his cute little voice and the many things he can now say. And like many proud parents we're somewhat deluded by our little monkey's language abilities.

Our twins' favourite people in the entire world are my wife's parents - who they know as Granny and Grandpa.

But being under two they've not quite mastered these two words yet. Granny is apparently "Momo" and Grandpa is known as "Bumpa".

That was until we visited over the New Year. Now it seems both twins seem to have evolved "Bumpa" into something that sounds almost like "Bumhole".

It's actually so clear that at one point my surprised brother-in-law said to the twins "Don't call me dad a bumhole!"

Kids eh?
