Who Am I?

That's the Signal.

I have been bothering BB all day long.
1. I can't seem to arrange a play-date with his friend.  (we have one set up, but I haven't told him about it yet.)
2. He only got to watch one tv program today.
3. I made him share his remote controlled car with EG.
4.  He had to eat dinner. (and come inside to do so.)

Now dinner is over, and I was checking my email in the office.  Just a few hours ago he gave me a lovely speech on how he had gotten too much fresh air today and it was making his head hurt.  (he wanted to watch more tv.)  Now he has come in to whine and pester me into submission so that he can have *more* fresh air.  (new friends are outside now.)

As he was hovering near my left shoulder, he let off a little gas.  I leaned over and told him that perhaps he should head to the bathroom.

"Oh, no Mom.  That is just a little gas.  It is a warning that I need some fresh air...that you should let me go outside, is what that means.  What it means, MOM, I don't need to go to the bathroom,  because that will be the last one of the night...(he is cracking himself up by now--smiling and coming really near to my face to kiss me) that is just the signal that I need to get more fresh air." 

Indeed.  More fresh air.
