Milo’s communication skills are…limited, but improving. He’s still below the composite verbal level of Clyde the Chimp, but does sweetly grunt about 20 word-like sounds. He’s perfecting The Nod, approximately seven subtle variations of shaking his head, mostly in the yes direction, though he does have one very slow and hypnotic hybrid yes-no that I think he will be using to sell condos and woo ladies in the future. His default is a primate point-and-grunt/nod. He did this at dinner, gesturing desperately for more asparagus. Jason said, “He’s like a foreigner.”
