These are the words Maisie can say now: STOP! NO! Daddy. Mommy. Momma. Baba. EAT! Please. Hello. Hi. Up. More. Good. Girl. Yummy. Nanny. Baby. Eyes. Ears. Noes. Cracker.
I'm pretty sure there's a game of Mad Libs in there somewhere. It's mostly nouns, mind you.
"Hello yummy mommy, daddy eat baba ears, eyes, and noes. Daddy NO! STOP! Hi good girl Nanny? Cracker please!"
It's a start.

Athletes!?
Sooooo I get into this heated debate today with my brother-in-law about what an athlete is. He feels that if people are capable of incredible feats of cardiovascular endurance then they are automatically an athlete (which, by default, qualifies him because he's a really good road biker). I completely disagreed with him because those people, as impressive as their feats are, are really just one-trick ponies. Scrawny little people with insane endurance and little of anything else. Literally they are working at a sub-maximal level for hours and hours and, depending on the day/event/landscape, may have to sprint from time-to-time.
Compare this to a football linebacker. He goes from standing still to EXPLODING forward at 100% ability only to smash into someone usually much larger than he is 0.5 seconds later, maybe then having to get up off the turf only to run away to catch someone smaller and faster than him for a few more seconds all the time hitting (or being hit), dodging, jumping, diving and whatever else it takes to finish the play. Then he rests about 60 seconds and does it again but only completely different.
To me, this is the quintessential example of what an athlete does and what he is capable of. Constant variation, adaptation, speed, strength, endurance, agility, will, power, etc, etc, etc over and over again. Being really fucking good at riding a bike for a long long time is about as un-athletic as it can be by comparison. And if you talk about pro riders, they are some of THE MOST drugged-up people in all of sports. Sure every pro football play would have done roids to get where he is, anyone in they're right mind knows this; but pro riders deny the claims they juice like nobody's business. Cracker please!
So, in conclusion, I am right and he is wrong and all is well and good in the universe. The end.
I can do a wheelie.
