In nationwide news, Emmett C., of Columbus, Ohio has just learned how to climb into his favorite rocking chair. No one knows the exact time this occurred, but sources say that shortly after lunch, his mommy turned her back to clean the green beans he regurgitated onto his BYOB(Bring Your Own Bottle) bib and when she returned from the laundry room she found her 11 month old sitting like a perfect gentleman in his chair. Apparently, he could not wait to enjoy his new Dr. Seuss book and, being of unusual strength and sharp mind, took matters into his own hands. A throw pillow, lying right next to the chair may have been used to help him get a leg up. Not able to speak in complete sentences yet, this baby could not be reached for comment. However, his daddy could and stated, "It wouldn't surprise me to see him in a smoking jacket with a cigar and a glass of brandy, rocking away by next week." Sounds like another front page story in the works. In the meantime, both parents are in the process of bolting down all the furniture and installing heavy duty baby gates to protect the family Labrador. Their little cowboy has mistaken the dog for a horsey.
