- When my son Fergus was about 3 months old he was an object of fascination
- for his older sister, Emily (about 2 years old at the time). I'll never
- forget one foul winter evening when she was sitting next to a carefully
- propped up Fergus on the sofa. He gave a little cough which Emily obviously
- felt needed some commentary for her. However, being unable to say anything
- as complicated as "Oh, look, Fergus has just coughed" all she could manage
- was "Fer cough" ... try saying it out loud ;)
-
- Our great mistake was to laugh which made her repeat her joke again, which
- made us laugh all the more, and so on and on. It ain't easy being a parent.
