XKCD comic, described below.
Transcript

[Megan and Cueball are looking to the left at a baby with dark hair. The baby sits on the left side of a table in an elevated baby chair.]

Megan: He's only 1, so he still mostly speaks proto-Indo-European.

Megan: But we've heard a few Germanic words already, so Old English can't be far off.

Baby: *Melg- *Pl(e)hk-

Cueball: They progress so fast!
