Please is required

While at lunch.  The fridge is right behind Pia's place at the table:

Daddy: Pia, can you get the water from the fridge?

Pia: (poker faced, no response. not even looking up from her plate)

Daddy: Pia, could you get the water?

Pia: (no reaction)

Daddy: Peeeeeeeeee-yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Pia: (still poker faced) You must say please.

Vince,

Only goes to show that what we as parents teach our kids applies to us as well as them.

Nice to know the kids are doing well.
Aidan still isn't up to talking much, but the way he babbles when we come home from work, it's not like he doesn't have a lot to say.

Wish we just understood what he was babbling about, though.

Thanks Jun. Same with Sammy, lots of babbling, some occassional words within the babbling.

One mad scientist should really develop a babble-to-English translator!
