More crazy



In one of my few successful attempts at being Super Mom, we taught Miss Dub how to sign. (A DVD may or may not have played a part. This cannot be confirmed.) Since she now speaks - "I like to kiss!" she recently announced - we don't have much need for signing. But she can't let go of the "more" sign, which she does by putting together the tips of her two hands and shouting, "Mo'!"

Initially, this sign was limited to food and beverage requests. Like, "more carbohydrates because I'm your daughter and a gluten-addict, please!" These days, however, she's requesting items I can't always replenish. Like, "mo' planes!" after we see an airplane in the sky. Or "mo' quack-quacks!" after we see some ducks. But the weirdest one came the other day after we heard a little boy crying at the store.

"Mo'!" Miss Dub shouted.

"More what?" I asked.

"More sad!"

Is this normal?
