Roman Chavez: Buccaneer

The high-seas buccaneer reflects on Manhattan’s landlubbers.

Roman NOVEMBER, 2007. Roman is a toddler on a mission to conquer the world. He climbs to the top of anything he can get his hands on. If he can’t climb it, he will knock it down or he will eat it.

Roman will attempt anything that big brother Luke does. This includes everything from playing soccer to wielding a lightsaber. He takes long walks with Mama. He likes ~~roughhousing~~ softhousing with Luke and Papa. He sings softly; he dances maniacally; he plays drums and air guitar; he reads picture books; he hacks the family computer; he enjoys traveling and watching movies and TV (especially Boohbah).

If you happen into a conversation with Roman, pay close attention. He speaks very quickly and only a few words are intelligible. The following translations are provided for emergency understanding:

Mama = Mama (or Papa or Luke or complete stranger);

dadn = thank you or bless you

myuh-myuh = food (yum-yums)

Doohdah = Boohbah

bih-rah-beh = I have to go conquer the world — be right back
