Frustration

Every day, a hundred times a day, Luke asks Other Baby if he wants something. "Other Baby, want this firetruck?" "Other Baby, want some juice?" "Other Baby, want to go to playground?" Etc.

But as much as Luke and Other Baby love each other, they're also really great at annoying each other. Other Baby, for his part, is fast. Really, really fast. And Luke announces his intentions about 20 seconds before he starts moving to accomplish said intentions, so the following scene repeats itself approximately eighty times a day:

Luke: Guk want that red block.
Other Baby: *Drops whatever he's doing and gets the red block* MY block!
Luke: No! My block!
Other Baby: My block!
Luke: My block!

...you get the idea. Luke then spends the next ten minutes or so offering Other Baby every other toy on the universe and Other Baby responds by clutching the red block and saying, "My block," one-hundred-and-eleventy times.

Today, after this scene had been re-played over and over all day, Luke finally decided that he'd had enough.

Luke: Other Baby, want this firetruck?
Other Baby: MY block!
Luke: Other Baby, want this airplane?
Other Baby: MY block!
Luke: Other Baby, want this book?
Other Baby: MY block!
Luke: Other Baby, want Guk bite you?

Is it wrong that I laughed?

Rolling in laughter; I mean gut wrenching laughter; out loud and snorting
Gosh, it is comedy central at your hosue and I absolutely love that you share it with us.
