What Does Baby Say?: An alternative reading brought to you by my husband

Overheard while Darr was reading What Does Baby Say? to Henry this evening:

Darr: Baby opens mommy's pocketbook. What does baby say?

Darr: Baby says, "There won't be any money left to pay for college if you keep spending it!"*

Darr: Mommy drives the car. What does baby say?

Darr: Baby says, "Can daddy drive?"**

*In the book baby really says, "Keys!" Baby is not at all concerned that mommy's current spending habits will keep baby from receiving tuition assistance from his parents in the future.
** In the book baby really says, "Bye-bye!" Baby actually prefers his mommy's driving to his daddy's and would only ask for his dad to take the wheel if mommy was 1. drunk, b. not in the car while the car was moving, or 3) asleep at the wheel.
