When are you a baby?!?

Dear Chuck,

I'm writing to you (the most elderly member of our cause) for your wisdom about something.  It's something that has got a hold of me, and I don't quite know the answer.  I should (of course) ask the ancients (you might call them adults), buuuuutttt…. they haven't caught onto our language just yet (and I wouldn't want to freak them out by speaking to them in their language! There'd be youtube videos and scientific experiments, and… well, just too much fuss!) and so I thought I'd ask you.

When is a baby no longer a baby?

I have a few reasons why I'm asking!  Our Cause (SMB - Secret Mission Babies) has the word "babies" in it… and maybe it's not encompassing enough?!  If you're only a baby for a few months, then it needs to be something else!  I won't start SMB and then have to change to SMT (Secret Mission Toddlers) and then SMP (Secret Mission Pre-Schoolers) when we get older - right?!

Another reason I'm asking, is that I've met a few more people (well, maybe I met them before, but I remember them now).  They are my cousins (more! I know!) and I'll have to tell you about them Chucky.

This is my Aunty Tahli and Uncle Greg and Me!   Charlie (Choo Choo Train) is inside Aunty Tahli - he hasn't entered the world yet in this photo (he didn't need to be "induced" he came on his own time), and then there's Alfie.

Alfie Pants, well, I mean, look at him.  He's a stunner, and clearly got the ladies wrapped around his fingers with those rosy cheeks and that little posing face.  I'm a bit jealous of him actually.  My face won't do that yet, and Chuck, how I've tried!!

But it got me thinking.  Alfie speaks BOTH languages, and could actually help us protest… well…. he could… write the signs?!?! I'm not TOTALLY sure that 2 year olds can write yet… but maybe, I'm sure he could get one of the ladies to do it for him - with that smile!

But Chuck, I also have some more cousins…..

Jepper and Pett… I mean Pepper and Jett.  The ancient in the middle that looks like he's in the Russian Mafia is Uncle Kon (not too sure about him!)

Now, the reason I think we might need to include THEM in the cause is because….

THEY TERRIFY ME!!!!

Look at this photo of Jepper, I mean Pepper…. that kid could be the muscle we need to do all the dirty work!

I'm in awe of her "don't mess with me" attitude!!!  We NEED her! 

So you see Chuck, I'm starting to think that we might need to broaden the cause!

Cause we also could use Pett, I mean Jett…

I mean - look at her!  I'm 78% sure that this kid can read!!  We need that!

We also need this lovely kid…  or I think she's a kid…

Yeah, I'm sure she's a kid.

So in all seriousness, because "baby" doesn't quite encapsulate the people that we want rights for - so maybe we can think of renaming ourselves…

"Secret Mission Little People"??

Love to hear your thoughts Chuck, as the most elderly in our leadership team at the moment!

Signing off,

Zai

Yep, it's just me, pondering the usual activist thoughts.
