a German mother and father took their 18 month old to the pediatrician
they said Herr doctor, unser son has not yet spoken a vord. maybe you can examine him and see if everyzing is okay?
the pediatrician looked him over, shined a light in his eye and ear and throat
then said I am zorry, there is nothing wrong with your son. His vocal chords are healzy. He may just be a late speaker
at age 3 they took him to a psychiatrist, but he too was dumbfounded
by age 6 they had tried hypnotists and everything, they couldn't see any other options for their son
at age 12 the family was having a quiet dinner, and the son said
Excuse me, zis soup is a bit tepid
the dad dropped his spoon and the mother fell out of her chair
they were astonished, having assumed their son was psychologically mute, they had given up hope years ago and simply learned to love him
they looked wide-eyed at their son and said Dieter, you, it's been 12 years, after all this time, we thought, you never, we told you so many things and just wanted to hear something from you, but you never once... why didn't you say anything before now?
