A couple has their first child, and the baby never cries. By age three, he still has not said a word. Not even Mama. Years go by, in which they take their son to one doctor after another. Nothing works. Then one morning, their nine year old son looks up from his breakfast and says, "My oatmeal's cold."

They are amazed and delighted. The father says, "Son, what took you so long to speak to us?"

The kid looks at each of them, then says, "Until now, everything was fine."
