And then she told him to say papa.
- Say papa, baby. Say pa pa pa pa pa pa pa. " (U13.382)
- Say papa, baby. Say pa pa pa pa pa pa pa. " (U13.382)

"Cissy wiped his little mouth with the dribbling bib and wanted him to sit up properly and say pa pa pa but when she undid the strap she cried out, holy saint Denis, that he was possing wet and to double the half blanket the other way under him.
