Allo? Agent 86 Here

At 1.5 years old, Sammy's pickup of words is picking up. A word catches his attention, and then he observes how people use it, in what context, then he starts using them.

The latest one he picked up is the 'Hello?' that people say when talking into phones.  At every opportunity, he will pick up the phone and speak into it : Allo!  Allo! Allo!

Of course no one answers, so he speaks louder and louder: ALLO! ALLO! ALLO!

The last Allo coming with all his might (you can almost see the veins in his neck).

But he tends to drop the phone, so we've banned him from using it.  Ever resourceful, he improvises, and speaks into other things: the headset, his toy trucks, and of course, his shoes, waiting for someone at the other end: ALLO! ALLO! ALLO!
