'Bah!' [finger pointing]

Karim is still in the very early stages of his productive language skills. At the moment, his favourite word is 'bah' and usually, but not always, refers to a ball, or rather 'balle' in our household. He uses the same sound for his farewells, short for 'baye-baye'. Or for something he wants to draw our attention to. Yep... 'bah', especially when it comes with a little tiny pointing finger, turns out to be a hell of a good communicative strategy... Karim gets pretty much what he wants when he 'bahs' away. 

I should try it next time Yasser leaves the dishes on the countertop. Or when I find the brand new car that I am shopping for right now. You never know... Maybe it will entice the sales guy to give me a better deal. But then again, it's not so cute when I do it.
