Crossing the Species Barrier

Son #1 spent the weekend making dolphin-like noises. The type of high pitched squeaking that only a mother could love. As a Kate Pierson wannabee, I can make them in return, too.

A few months ago, he told me that he could communicate with animals—which is when he began making these noises. Since they cracked me up, I started making the same sounds for my girlfriends.

One night, during dinner at my girlfriend Kris’ house, feigning innocence she asked, “Do you know of anyone who can speak with dolphins?” His hand shot up. “I can!” He was so sincere, it melted my heart.

I can’t wait for our trip to the zoo this weekend with my brother-in-law’s grandchildren. I just hope we’re not bellowing dolphin expletives. I don’t want to cause a stir.
