Oh frak, Ginger. I hope you find them soon.

Just to clarify, I'm not actually an insane mother who thinks her 7-month-old infant is two diphthongs away from a career as a public speaker -- she's totally just babbling, and some of it accidentally comes out resembling words. Which of course we repeat back to her and praise and affirm and all that, but it's purely accidental. I'm not delusional about her or anything.

Mostly.

I've seen babies talk at Matilda's age. Ben did. I was a baby who started talking early. Mum is fond of saying I started talking at 6 months and haven't stopped yet.

Man, I wish I could get to Columbus for $10. That's where they keep all the cute kids related to me!

Not necessarily! I started talking at 8 months. It's young, sure, but not impossible.

Of course, I didn't walk until I was 15 months old, so my poor mother had to carry me around everywhere while I yammered incessantly in her ear.

Oooh.

Well, it looks like all the ten-dollar flights are gone for the next six months, at least.

My mother swears I said, "Oddly enough," at 7 months old. I think the story is more about her than about me, though.

$10? That's very interesting...

Heh. You and Lillian both.

My friend's boy twin said "mama" at, if I'm recalling correctly, about 7 months. Girl followed shortly after. Now, neither will say "mama" and if specifically asked to will say "dada".

Nora, you can - Boston is one of the cities they serve.

I spotted a couple of $10 ones out to Vancouver end of May. I'm sure they go fast. Even the higher prices are way low, though.

Combine that with a $1 each way bus trip from Chicago...hmmm.

Affordable travel for everyone! It'll have to do until the transporter is perfected, I suppose.
