An Amusing 'Conversation' With Jethro

I am always full time on a baby. One child, I am full time on him. Two children, I am full time on the new baby. Three children, I am still full time on the baby. So it's easy to conclude that I hardly spend time with the older 2 boys nowadays. I do feel sorely the missing out of these parts of their lives but I am just no supermum. Anyway, that's another matter. This time I am talking about one of those rare conversations I had with Jethro.

I was holding Heidi and Jethro was beside us, touching Heidi like some interesting creature (as all babies are).
Me: Jethro is a gor gor and a di di now.
Jethro: I not di di. She (Heidi) not di di. She mei mei.
Me: Is Jethro a di di?
Jethro: No. I gor gor.
Me: Jethro is a di di, Ethan's di di.
Jethro: No, Ethan big gor gor, I small gor gor.
Me: Jethro is who's di di?
Jethro: I no di di. I small gor gor.
Me: Does Ethan call you di di?
Jethro: No.
Me: Then what?
Jethro: ...
Me: He calls you Jethro?
Jethro: Yes.

A case of confused identity? He still can't process the fact that he is both a younger and an older brother...
