Branded from birth

One of the first things my daughter Belly said was "Dunkin Donuts!", shouted as we pulled up to the drive-through window.

A couple of years later, one of the first things she wrote were the words "Samuel Adams", written inside a picture of a beer bottle.

A few nights ago, she shouted out that she READ WORDS! In excitement, I ran to see what she had read and heard her proudly sound out, "Live! Love!". . .read from the side of my fridge pack of Coca-Cola.

Well, one of the monkey's first words was "beer", which he pronounced "Be-huh"-- nice. Where the heck did he get a Boston accent?

Good for Belly. Not long before she's spouting off questionable song lyrics. Hide the liner notes.

At least we are not alone!

Good for Bellie being able to read those words!!!
