“Mama…baba… gaaboo!” Meggy babbled as her mama strapped her in.
“Yes sweetie, you’ll be having a nice milky ba-ba very soon,” Amanda assured the eager girl.
Brian was disappointed to see that Meggy’s mind had been reduced along with her motor skills and speech. She continued to babble cheerfully and blow raspberries or spit bubbles throughout their meal. She seemed completely unconcerned with staying clean while eating, not caring at all that much of her meal ended up on her body instead of in her mouth.
Not that he and Rachel were doing much better though.
