Fresh Water Please

Hey, can't you tell why I'm drinking from the faucet?  The water in the drinking fountain is stale.


Do I turn the faucet?  Don't make me laugh!  I know how it works, of course, but I don't dare hurt my paw tryin' anything like that.  When Mom goes to the basin, I rush up before her and block the faucet and, no fool she is, she understands. Mmm. fresh water tastes good.

Vif at 2 years and 9 months



えっ、なんでてめぇー。なに俺の顔をじろじろ見てやがるんだ。なにか可笑しいか。ひん曲がっているとでもいうのけぇー。そんなら、見せてやろぅぜ。そうだ、口の周りの白いところが、すっかり歪んでやらぁ。これはな、俺、母ちゃんの腹から出てくる前にな、こう首をぶるるんと振ったんだ。そうしたら、こういう顔になったってことさ。独特な顔だぜ。自慢なんだ。変てこだってなこと言ったら鼻でも引っ掻いてやるぞ。

Eh, what!  Hey you. What you lookin’ at my face like that for?  What’s so funny, eh?  You think it’s crooked or somethin’?  All right, I’ll show you.  Right. The white around my mouth is warped.  Yeah, before coming out of mommy’s tummy, I shook my head fast and hard, and this is what happened.  It’s totally unique, you see, and I’m proud of it.  Say something funny about it, watch it.  I’ll scratch your nose.
