Update: The winner of the virtual shout out is Moe! Thanks everyone for the comments. It was a tough call. So many funny comments!
My son Hayden is 8 months old. He really wanted to blog so I put the computer in front of him and this is what he came up with…
vyf6u rhhhhh
;x2v5ftdffvc ff4ryjjhnb vdehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhvv b 7nmy n 8imm8kjuijhun
I personally like that he used letters and numbers. I also like that he wrote two separate paragraphs. He’s a genius.
So what do you think Hayden was trying to say? Best translation wins a virtual shout out.
Daddy, why are making me write this blog post. I’m just a baby. I’ve got baby stuff to do. I don’t have time to blog.
Larry, Hayden is a multitask-er. He can drool, poop, and blog at the same time.
I’m not sure. Through a happy and strange accident, Hayden can only be translated into Spanish.
Ricky, nice! I speak Australian so it’s no surprise that my son would be bilingual as well.
I think he is saying, “I love my daddy but my mommy loves my daddy more than he loves her.” (See I do read comments from yesterday). 🙂
Bill, bonus points for you. And don’t feed into that. You are supposed to be on my side. I kid, I kid.
Dear Santa,
Please bring me a Boston Celtics jersey, Dad won’t get me one!
Kelly, that made me laugh out loud. It ain’t gonna happen but it made me laugh.
I am a bit of a linguist as you probably know. I made an independent translation of the Rosetta stone when I was 5, so I think I qualify to handle the translation of a small youngling such as yours, especially one dressed in a onesie. He typed (and I am translating literally), “Celtics rule, Lakers drool. Also, so do I, but that it not my main point this morning. Also, I likely need a-changin’ as my diaper is somewhat moist.” Don’t feel badly that you did not pick up on this. It does not mean that you are a deficient parent or a bad person for that matter.
Daniel, you might want to go back to school because he definitley did not say Celtics rule. The thought of it made him poop his pants.
My guess…
“Check out this awesome YouTube video, here’s the link…

(Real link not used to protect the innocent)
Honey Badger don’t care. Love it, Scott.

“how do i stick this in my mouth”…
Arny, you might know my son all too well. That joker puts everything in his mouth.
obviously a child prodigy. I think it says, “sorry daddy, but I like the celtics.”
Rob, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I’m sorry Rob, but I think he’s a better blogger than you. Wow, I am taken back. So much spiritual truth there.
Oh and here is the translation:
Next time my dad gives me a windoze machine I’m going to puke on the keyboard, then I’ll proceed to lift up one leg and lay a “nugget” of wisdom on it through a crack in my diaper. Than I’m going to close the laptop, over and over and over. When dad opens this, He’ll come to the conclusion that windoze is… crap.
Give me a Macbook Air dad. A Macbook Air!
P.S. All that time you thought I needed a diaper change when you were watching The Walking Dead, I was just trying to tell you that I knew Sophia was in the barn all along! Focus dad… focus!
Moe used my idea, but he made it better. Moe wins.
Moe, that comment was most excellent. The opening line made me laugh out loud.
🙂 funny. I was going to use the theological truth tag as well… you can definitely read between the lines and tell he’s got some scholarly swag to his writing style.
I’m not sure what this thing is, but all I know is daddy is letting me play with his toys. Wow, must be a big boy now!!!
Jim, he did get pretty excited. You might be on to something.
“If the Lakers do get Dwight Howard and Chris Paul, I think I really have a shot at making the team with their limited cap space they will have.
Gotta work on my dribbling.”
Joe, I love this comment! Great stuff.
“Baby food is gag-nasty. Food shouldn’t look the same going in me as it does going out. Just sayin’.
I’ve seen the look on my Dad’s face when he’s eating that Chipotle burrito. He needs to share the wealth!”
Randal, you know us well. Great stuff.
My Mom and Dad are Super Heros! That makes me and my baby sis Super Kiddos!
Ahh Debbie. That was really sweet.
It looks to me like he was saying,” I love all my grandparents but I think I like Papa Shepherd best.”:)
Did, I think Mim would have something to say about that one. Although you do have a nice beard.
All work and no play makes Hayden a very dull boy
Geoff, I like how you think. Blogging is very fun.
Translation:
“Why do they call this thing a laptop? Have you seen my lap? It’s tiny. And this so-called laptop is HUGE. It’s abundantly clear: computer manufacturers are discriminating against baby laps.
What do we want? BABY LAPTOPS. When do we want them? AFTER A DIAPER CHANGE.”
Burrill, this made me laugh out loud…literally. I read it to my wife as soon as I read it. Funny stuff.
“Apparently, it is FROWNED UPON in this ESTABLISHMENT to ride the dog like a small pony…”
I love love love that commerical!!
Gayle, that is a really funny commercial.
The Life and Times of Hayden Shep.
Chapter 1:
Joseph, love it!
“This is what my dad does all the time…”
Jon, that is true. It might be sad if that’s what he says, but it is really true.
Hmmm…”7nmy” sounds like “7 enemy.” Your son might be trying to warn you about 7 fiendish characters in your life. Probably.
TMZ, that would make sense. I think he has other mutant powers. His drool is super mutant. It comes out in floods.
“Seriously, dad, this what you do? Even an 8 month old can do it.”
I’m pretty sure he wrote that in order to prepare you to deal with the sarcasm and smack talk that is sure to come when he transitions into his teenage years, don’t worry, he still loves you.
Sirvhim, that’s funny. It will be hard to not talk smack back.
“If Jim Morrison and Van Morrison were driving Jim Morrison’s van to Van Morrison’s gym…where would Vincent’s van go?”
Larry, awesome. You make my son sound funny and very intelligent. Any time you mention Van Gogh you sound smart.
“Have you guys ever had baby carrots? Are they carrots for little people? Are they carrots that just haven’t matured yet?? What the deal???
I just love topical humor. Speaking of topical, I have the worst diaper rash! Hit me with some of that cream, Daddy!”
Kevin, now that’s funny stuff!
Clearly you’d already decided on the winner BEFORE you saw my post. 😉
I hadn’t got to see this the other day, so here’s my translation:
Dear Jesus, Daddy said that you’re the highest, so here’s my list:
I want a pony, some chipotle, a honey badger, some chipotle, a zombie shirt, some chipotle, some chipotle,some chipotle……
(P.S. My spell check doesn’t have chipotle on it…*tick-a-tick-a-tick*…ow it does)
Daddy, c’mon and get a Mac!
Wow,the little blogger is making me laugh..hahaha..very nice pic..thanks for sharing this.
