'Og? Cack, cack, cack? Man?

About a week ago, we realized that some of Asher's bath toys had become a harbor for disgusting slimy black mold. This is particularly disturbing because they are the kind that you suck water into, and it squirts back out, and he likes to suck on the holes. So I threw the offenders into the trash in the bathroom. I could tell he was very concerned when I did this, and I told him, "They're yucky, we have to throw them in the garbage." So he says, "gabetch?" And I said, "Yes, they're dirty."

He tried to save them from the bathroom trashcan, so I moved them to the kitchen, which has a lid. He contined to check on them every few minutes and even tried to sneak them to freedom. That day's trash is long gone, but he keeps checking, saying "og? (frog) cack, cack, cack? (duck)" We also threw away a mechanical snowman that he broke, and he says, "man? gabetch?" all the time. It's kind of sad for him, but shows that he has the memory of an elephant.

Making sure they are still there:
