Don't make him talk

Dear Andy: Our little Larry is 4 years old and refuses to talk. How can we make him understand the importance of speaking when he knows he can get what he wants by motioning and pointing? Or should we enroll him in martial arts to prepare for a future as a secret agent? How much do traffic cops get paid? Looking forward to your innovative insight. - Your faithful student, Jim

Dear Jim: I feel your son is stuck in a box. I see mime school in his future.
