Nora likes to tell people who Jules and I are… randomly… to strangers.

I’ll be walking to Sainsbury’s with her and she’ll say ‘Hello’ to some random guy who greets her back and she will then tell him ‘She’s my mommy’.

She’s scootering down the road and a little girl passes by with her bicycle and Nora will tell the little girl to be careful and when the little girl’s dad smiles at her, she will say ‘She’s my mommy. My daddy is at home’. The little girl’s dad will then say ‘It’s good to know’.

But that is interaction with other people. What happens when she’s interacting with a phone application?

I have Talking Giraffe on my phone who repeats what has been said to it. Yesterday, I put it on while trying to clean the front room and Nora started to talk to the Giraffe. Soon she was saying ‘My mommy’ and of course, the Giraffe then repeated what she said.

The conversation went like this

Nora: ‘My mommy’

Giraffe: ‘My mommy’

Nora: ‘No! My mommy!’

Giraffe: ‘No! My mommy!’

Nora: ‘My mommy, not your mommy!’

Giraffe: ‘My mommy, not your mommy!’

You get the picture.

This went one for at least five minutes. I was trying not to laugh and just continued on with the cleaning.
