Mike and Julia always wanted to be sure they were doing the right thing before they made important decisions.
When they wanted to buy a car, it took a long time for them to decide which one to buy. They looked at all the different cars carefully. It had to be the right size, the right color and the right price. Finally, they chose the car they wanted.
When they went out for dinner, it always took a long time before they chose what to eat. They carefully read the menu and discussed all the choices together. They were patient and never in a hurry.
After a while they had a baby boy, they were happy and called him Jordan. Jordan smiled a lot, but he didn't make any noise. He never cried. All their friends said, "He's such a nice quiet baby!"
Jordan learned everything that other babies learn. He learned to walk. He learned to go to the bathroom by himself. He learned to sleep in the bed. He learned to sit on a chair and eat at the table. However, he didn't learn how to talk and he still never cried. But Mike and Julia didn't worry about it too much. They just waited. They were confident Jordan would talk one day.
One day, while eating dinner, Jordan suddenly said, "Mother, I think the soup needs a little more salt."
Mike and Julia were surprised, "You can talk!" said Julia.
"Of course I can talk!" said Jordan. "After all, I am three years old."
"Why didn't you talk before?" asked Mike.
"I didn't need to," said Jordan. "The food was always good before."
