"Blue and red cars. You get lined up, facing forward so I can give you your orders."
"Don't you try and run away. Get into line."
"I told you to get into line properly. Just because you are a darker shade of blue does not give you special privilages. Everyone's equal here. What do you mean the yellow car is being given privilages? Hey, I'm in charge, and if I say the line can have one yellow car, then the line can have one yellow car."
When your 20-month old kid hasn't really said one intelligible word, you imagine that his babbling and line forming is another shade of pure genius. You start to get crazy notions in your head about how he's not talking because his brain is so amazingly wired that speech is not a priority. In fact, he's probably creating a new language.
Or he could just be the 3rd kid who has no real need to talk just yet.
