Theory 2: Baby Language

BABIES know a language none of us know. At least, we don't now. 
A mother will soothingly stroke a baby, hug and cuddle him when he cries, but does she know apart from guesses what he's saying? No. 
We forget this sacred language as we grow older, stuffing our brains with those memories and nuggets of what is traditionally called common sense. (Where did the dollars go, I ask?) 
We are foolish wits and wise fools and oh so tragically, wryly human.
