Baby Whisperer

In last two months of mine, I have been between so many kids and babies that I have started learning their complex yet subtle language where without saying correct language and phonetics they express them all.
The one thing that I got specialized after noticing is when they want to piss or have sense of micturation (toilet). The very first kid whom I met used to express this feeling by saying "Chhi Chhi" and her parents used to understand she has got ''Chhi Chhi" to do. Than I came to know from a friend that there is another baby related to her who used to say "Pi Pi". Some other words which other babies have used are "Chu Chu","Pilla Pilla","Moolti" etc.  So words changed but the meaning remained same. So in this way babies pick certain words and associate them with some verb and make their own language which of course their parents do understand but sometimes it became difficult for them too to interpret what they are saying.
I then started remembering what I used to do to express myself, specially for this toilet thing. I can't recall it as it had been such a long time since then. Than when I asked from my parents how i used to express, a very embarrassing thing was encountered. They told me that I used to piss anywhere I wanted to, I was never expressive but a revolutionary who felt proud in making places wet and smelly and might have been considered it as the revolutionary aim of my life. Piss Guevara...
But than why should only I face the embarrassment...for my knowledge I started taking the information of my friends of how they used to do. Two of them told that he/she use to start shaking their legs like Michael Jackson out of extreme pressure and their parents rush them to wash room.
But there are some revelations which is more interesting. There were some who just used to raise their skirts or lower their pants and rest the message was delivered. And this reminded me of the little, round and super healthy baby who when felt such sense of micturation just used to stand lower his pants and nickers, go totally nude and then fold and hold his hand tightly, head raised proudly as if going for battle and making an Elan of it. His this gesture was like I have done my part of conveying message and its now caretaker's responsibility to rush him to restroom or else he have no qualms in making the place around him a smelly lake of yellow water. But still there are something by which those who express themselves by word are better than those who just do actions. For e.g. What if action get unnoticed, which a voice or noise has less chance to, and How this action people differentiate by their single act of  pant lowering or skirt raising that they what to piss or want to go for potty because expressive people have different words for these two separate actions.
But one thing that I noticed was whatever the expression mode be, kids are kids and they really enjoy doing each and everything of theirs, let it be eating food, drinking water or attending ":Nature's Call".
Will try soon to be baby whisperer for something else....

  1. Really nice post !!!

    I also notice that most toddlers on purpose "pretend" to slip or fall down to gain immediate attention by adults when they are busy talking and feel they are not giving adequate attention to them.

    Also "Mmmm Mmmm" I observed is the word very frequently used by them to signify they are thirsty.
