Kyle shook his head at his son's antics, not really taking it to heart. For now, such movements would be encouraged as it exercised his motor skills - but it didn't mean he wouldn't admonish him for it.
Kyle brought his face closer to Alex and said in a low voice, just enough that only Alex could hear, he said, "Remember, I'm still your father. No matter how much you may not like it, I am bigger and more skilled than you."
Alex stopped laughing and looked at his father in surprise.
Why was did he feel, that whenever his father talked to him, he was actually *talking* to him? Not merely saying words to appease himself, but as if he was really talking to him and expected him to understand or answer.
The moment this thought entered Alex's mind, he brushed it aside and shook his head.
Nah.
It couldn't be. Adults were silly and would never take babies seriously.
