Jack's Name

Evan likes kids. In controlled, muted doses. His cousin's cousin's kid Jack Christensen is a pretty chill, cool dude. He is only 1 years old, but is generally not a squealer.

At cousin dinner in April, Evan and Jack had a conversation. Of sorts. Jack doesn't know many words, so he just started speaking gibberish to Evan. Evan started talking right back. They both weren't listening to each other. They both kept talking. For like a minute. It wasn't so much a dialogue as two concurrent monologues.

Finally, Evan asked him a few questions:
  • Hey Jack, what's your name?
  • What's your name in Spanish?
Jack didn't reply and the conversation ended.

  1. I can only image the simultaneous soliloquies, quite the event, I imagine.
