I am now "Dood"

Noah, my one year old, has started vocalizing. He says very small, monosyllabic words. For example, Mom= “Mam”, Hi = “Heya” and my favorite: Dad= “Dood”.
I am now “Dood".
This suits me much better than plain old “Dad”. Being “Dood” means that I am much cooler than being “Dad.” It also means that Noah thinks of me as a peer. It reminds me of when I hang out with my friends and we address each other with “Dude”, instead of our names. For example: “Dude, did you see Dawn of the Dead?” “Dude, yeah! It made me wet my pants!”
I will relish being “Dood” until Noah learns to speak. Once that happens, he will realize what a geek I am and demote me to “Dad”.
