By the way, what is "median average"?

I took it to mean "that specific and well-defined meaning of the woolly word
'average' that we denote by the word 'median'".

Shoulda bin "median", IMO.

I expect that was the case but it seemed like "dog animal" to me.

All animals are cats. Just ask my kids. They know these things.

Number One Son said his fourth word yesterday, proudly adding it to
"papá", "mamá", "cat" (in English, used for anything that moves) and
"uh-oh" (he's a Teletubbies freak, as one is under his circumstances).

The word is "alcohol".

It turns out his uncle had been casually singing a local football
chant and he picked up on the chorus.

Uh-oh.
