Of course Mama and Papa believe that DNA isn't a factor at all, and that Milo's willful ways are all his own. The constant chatter-box, singer, dancer ("shake your booty, shake your booty!") and mimic has recently introduced "now" to his sentences. No longer content with, "Go park, Mama," or even, "Go park, Papa, please," everything is more urgent, and more immediate.

On a cold, rain-paused afternoon, this moment of waiting is only missing the audio. "Go park, right now!"

And, so we went.
