The “ta” of Charlie
So far Charlie is not talking much, but he does have a few words. His favorite word is, “ta.” He invented it himself. As near as we can tell, it means, “I-want-that-thing-right-now-that-thing-over-there-that-shin y /electronic/breakable-thing-with-buttons-its-mine-give-it-to -me-now-please-right-now.” He often accompanies “ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, taaaaaaaaa” with pointing or reaching, just in case we don’t get it. The funny thing is, he reserves “ta” for things that he knows he’s not supposed to have. If he wants food or a drink or something along those lines, he reaches and grunts or whines/whatever, but doesn’t use his favorite word.
