You actually went on Fox news? That is a forbidden channel in my house, probably why I didnt see you. I would rather stick forks in my eyes and than have that channel on, man.

It would be great if you could get Josie to point at Hannity on the screen and say "Yellow."

Here in Japan, blue and green are the same colour. I have hazel-green eyes and am constantly told how nice my "blue" eyes are. If blue and green are in the same category, then green and yellow can be too!!

We have friends who have triplets. Boys. Congrats En Vitro! Anyway, I remember at their 2nd birthday party the parents were boasting about how the boys knew the planets (and made them recite them for us), numbers, colors, quadratic equations, whatever. Of course we oooohed and aaaaaahed because our son was still trying to sit up without assistance. We considered those three savants.

No. It's called rote. Sure, they knew what to say, but they didn't what a "planet" really was or how any of those things relate to life or the world. It's just mimicry.

I felt a particularly evil happiness when I learned this. Their babies aren't brilliant! They're just people chimps!

Josie was just saying the word she knew. She doens't know what "yellow" or "green" mean at this point.

But good on her for sticking to her guns. Wait until she's 13. Then you'll have battles on your hands

COOL, way to handle that idiot Hannity. I avoid Fox News like the plague because of him and his ilk.

Well. I have one of similar age (18 months) and today I took him to Ikea. Alone. To purchase a King size bed. Alone. Without my spouse. It was miserable. I was pushing him in a regular cart and then pushing 200lbs of Ikea-wonderfulness on one of those flat carts. All the while the child is S C R E A M I N G "NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!!" and flailing sideways and backwards to, I don't know, vibrate himself loose from the cart and his screams were echoing off the rafters of the giant Ikea. It was the suckiest public outing as a parent thus far.

No reassuring words from this neck of the woods. However, that Hannity clip did sort of make my day.
