It's My Blog so I Can Brag All I Want

We don't let Kai play with the garbage bin in the kitchen, of course. Every time he tries to open the garbage bin, we stop him and explain, "It's garbage, and it's yucky." The other day, while I was making dinner in the kitchen, Kai took some used tin foil that I had squeezed into a ball off the kitchen counter. He walked around with it for a while saying, "Ball! Ball!" I said without turning around, "That's not a ball, Kai. It's garbage."

Then there was silence.

I turned around, and Kai was just in the middle of putting the tin foil ball into the garbage bin. He looked straight at me and said, "Ga-ba."
