Yesterday’s corner time: 4 Minutes.
You’re probably familiar with Baby Mozart and Baby Einstein. Now, I have a lot of respect for these guys, and they may be baby geniuses but they have a lot to answer for.
They’ve set the bar really high for the rest of us and thanks to them, I’m being constantly drilled with picture cards and immersed in classical music.
My Dad says that I'm more like Baby Face Nelson than Baby Einstein. This is as much to do with my underworld activities, as it is to do with a mafia-like tone I’ve seemingly adopted from nowhere:
“Why you speaka to me? I not speaka to you, I speaka to Mummy.”
My Dad believes that it may be due to all the Soprano episodes and Godfather movies he was watching when I was in the womb. Not quite sure where that is. Is it nearby?
This may explain why I have a constant urge to whack Becca and why Hammy-the-Hamster ended up sleeping with the fishes.

Just wanted you to know that I vote for you every time. You have one of my favorite blogs. The way you write from your son's perspective is wonderful and I love your wit. Well done!!
Thanks Mary, I'm really glad that you like it - your comments are really appreciated.

I love this post and blog. Very funny and great writing. I'm glad that your corner time is down on this post.
Maybe you should come out with your own line of "whacking" kid's videos for other Baby Face's!
Thank you very much.
Hey, that's not a bad idea - Becca could have a leading role ;-)

My parents and I have been following your blog with great interest. My mother laughs till she cries while I take notes unobserved. I too have a compulsion for destruction, even though I am a year younger than you are. They call me Mr. Disaster. In day care, the children call me Biteman. It is strange, but the compulsion to gnaw on those within reach is overwhelming and seemingly without explaination. I shall have to research what my parents were fond of watching...wherever we were.
I appreciate your attention to detail. So much escapes me still at this young age, and I look forward to learning more from you.

Hey Iceman,
I'm glad that you and your family enjoy my blog.
If you need any advice or guidance, then just let me know.
Have your parents seen the film "Alive"? That may explain the biting!
Matthew.
