Is Going to Become a Musician

8> Sleeps all day, wails all night, and leaves little messes most
everywhere he goes.

7> You find him playing his Fisher-Price guitar… with his
teeth.

6> Moves out every morning; back by lunch to mooch fruit rollups
and pocket change.

5> Refuses to say “Mommie” unless she gets green M&Ms — and
*only* green.

4> That’s the third time this week you’ve caught him sniffing a
line of baby powder.

3> His first sentence: “Peek-a-boo? Why the [bleep] are we
doing this? I’m the [bleep]ing Prince of Darkness!!”

2> “… and next on Behind the Music, how an Infant Tylenol Drops
addiction led to a rediscovery of the Tupperware percussion he
loved so much.”
