So this toddler is starting to acquire speech at the age of about 12 months. But there is a small issue. He has two mums; a birth mum and the other mum who takes care of him when the birth mum is at work. The other mum also happens to have a teenage son. The issue here is the impending confusion that would arise every time he calls out ‘mum’. That is, when he calls out ‘mum’, how do people tell who between the two is being addressed. Everyone is scratching their heads without discussing the issue.

True to everyone’s expectation, confusion reigns for a few weeks as both mums answer simultaneously every time he calls out ‘mum’. Still, nobody has come up with any idea on how to resolve the situation. You see, the birth mum is a first-time mum and therefore nobody wants to deny her the joy of being called mum. On the other hand, the other mum already answers to that name from her son. Therefore, that cannot be changed. The impasse continues for another few weeks.

Then one day, to everyone’s surprise, the toddler begins to use a deep voice when calling the other mum, imitating the broken voice of her teenage son. And that is how the toddler settled the complex situation. You can trust toddlers to be resourceful when the need arises.

You can wonder all about the resourcefulness of the toddler but methinks he takes after the mother...ukivaa multicolored goggles utaelewa.
