A listener writes in with a story about her toddler wailing that he was King Wet, which puzzled her until the little guy clarified just how wet: I’m So King Wet! This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “King Wet”
Barbara Mayo Wells shared this story with us.
One morning when my son was developing a vocabulary, I walked into his bedroom to find him stalking back and forth in his crib, his very sodden diapers drooping down below his knees.
“I’m King Wet,” he announced.
I must have looked confused, for he elaborated.
“So, King Wet! He was very King Wet.”
“Yeah, it’s like I’m being Have, right?”
“Yeah, yeah. I’m so King Wet.”
“He’s King Wet.”
“Yeah, she capitalized King Wet.”
I thought that was so cute.
Thank you, Barbara.
