Y'all have probably heard this one before. But I'm going to tell it anyway.
So this boy was causing quite a lot of concern to his parents because he wouldn't say anything. They didn't know what was wrong. They took him to doctors, tried to teach him, pleaded with him but nothing worked. This went on for years. Then one day when he was 12 years old he said, "These mashed potatoes are cold." At first it was just matter of fact but then they realized that these were his first words. They were amazed, surprised, confused.
Why Bobby, we didn't know you could talk. Why didn't you say something before? It's been so many years. Why did you wait til now?
He answered, "Well, every thing's been fine up til now."
So if you have a child that doesn't say much then that may be a good thing. Or maybe there's a teenager thing going on.
