R's in the shower. I just sat down on the toilet and started to pee when I realize I'm out of toilet paper. J is running about and comes in to say hi, and suddenly I have a great idea. I say to him, go tell BaBa that 'MaMa needs more toilet paper'. By the time J gets over to the other bathroom, the shower is off, so I can hear the conversation, and imagine the confused look on J's face. He says, 'need more paper' to which of course R says 'go ask MaMa for more paper.' Poor J! So I start to yell 'BaBa! BaBa!' to get his attention and explain through the walls. But he just continues, 'see, MaMa is calling for you, go ask MaMa for paper.' J returns, defeated. Then I hand him my empty toilet paper roll, and I say, give this to BaBa and tell him 'MaMa needs paper'. He repeats the sentence back to me: MaMa needs paper.
And that does the trick! J accomplishes his mission, and his parents are terribly proud of him and themselves for their clever communication.
