Last Saturday, Merk was getting the bacon out of the freezer. The kind we buy comes in a huge package that I fold to get into the freezer. As Merk was getting it out, he commented on how I folded it calling it a "book of bacon." Poor Max, he misunderstood and said, with all seriousness, "I don't want bugger bacon."
Tonight, as we were cleaning up, our dog Scout was being a pest and trying to lick the dishes in the dishwasher. I know it's gross, but at least they were dirty dishes. Anyway, Merk was tired of it and told Scout to move her nose. A minute later, we look up to see Max with a tissue literally wiping Scout's nose. He thought Merk asked Scout to wipe her nose and he was helping her out.
On Friday, Max is having tube and adenoid surgery to help with his hearing. They think he will get most of it back, which is a relief for all of us. But I will miss some of his little misunderstandings.

yep, our son lost 33% in both ears due to fluid buildup. once he had the surgery, his hearing was so acute he often held his hands over his ears. he was 18 months at the time and began talking immediately after the surgery. good luck! jan
