A few memorable words from Brat Jr. upon his birthday.

• “I want to spell that word, that word, and that word” (reading a sign:) “Happy Birthday Stuart”

• “Help me spell that word.” (this time to have someone direct his finger to trace the letters)

• “I’m not two years old. I am a one year old baby.” (rationalizing why he should be allowed to pee on a carpet)

• “What’s inside it?” (looking at a robotic toy)
