Do you Know What Your First Word

[Liberalynn]

was? Okay so we have done George's. Now what was yours as a child?

Mine according to my baby book was "Sista!"

I guess I knew even then who I was going to be closest to and depend on the most in my family. My big Sis. She's always been there for me and though I love my Mom and loved and still love the memory of my late father, my sister was always my shelter in the storm, and the person who has meant the most to me in my life.

[Dave Reynolds]

1. Banana.

Followed by "oook oook ooook".

I was projecting in the last thread about Georgie....

[Liberalynn]

4. I was wondering if there was a theme to your answers!

:pals:

[ZombieNixon]

2. Three.

:shrug:

[Liberalynn]

5. Maybe you were a

Mathematician in a former life?:think:

[LynzM]

3. Backgammon

I know, I'm weird. :P

[Liberalynn]

6. Not weird

just very advanced for your age.:toast:

[LynzM]

48. Aw, thanks Lynn

We had a backgammon set built into our living room coffee table, so it's not that weird, given that! :)

7. Actually mine is kinda odd

I never said all the baby talk that is so cute. First thing I ever said was " Grandmother, will you please make me a sandwich?"

(I never got that sandwich, though - everyone was amazed that Khash wasn't mute and could speak. And I never shut up - in fact my mother and I were kicked out of a coffee shop because the waitress insisted that I was possessed by the devil. Babies can't talk. I could. It totally freaked her out.)

Khash.

[Liberalynn]

9. That's kind of cool

and I think they should have made you that sandwitch. :hug:

It wasn't her first word but at 3 the little girl my family baby sat for asked about her mother and my sister who were both dressed in white uniforms and shoes, "Mommy and Debbie look very similar today don't they Linda?"

I said yes they do, and then stood there with my mouth open. I was kind of amazed that she spoke in a complete sentence and used the word in proper context too. It was also kind of comforting though that like me she had trouble remembering numbers, just like me. I was ten at the time and didn't want to be outshone by a three year old.

Although I ended up excelling on the verbal end of the spectrum in school too. In regards to math, I've just accepted that I am litterally brain dead.

12. Hey you! Get me cookie!

My now 15 year old came out with that one at a very early age. I was so stunned (and impressed) I did as I was told.

[Liberalynn]

13. That's so adorable.

It is very good to know what you want and how to get it.

[redwitch]

14. Yes. And we have since taught him "please" and "thank you"

:-)

[Liberalynn]

20. The magic words

are always useful knowledge to impart. :-)

[redwitch]

22. Yes ma'am

"They never sound old
they always sound new
those three little words
please and thank you"


Bless you Ernest wherever you are!

[AlienGirl]

21. How old were you?

[khashka]

23. A couple months before I was one.

It was weird. I never made a sound and everyone was worried. Babies cry, babies make noises, they respond vocally to their environment. Not me. I only made a sound when I was able to speak in full sentences. At first my family were worried - babies aren't silent. They wondered if I was deaf or retarded.

Well I'm not deaf, retarded is still open to question :) I recently described myself as the dumbest smart man or the smartest dumb man. I was told both are true. :)


But because I was treated as deaf - I don't remember all of it just bits and pieces - it has become an issue for me.

31. I started talking really early (5 months)

I was a very small baby, and even though I didn't start with entire sentences or anything, it still startled people to see a baby-in-arms talking--especially a small one who looked even younger!

Are you on the autistic spectrum? (I have a hard time keeping track of who here is and who isn't!) Also, did you read early? And what age is your earliest memory from?

8. Mess.

Uttered immediately after I had removed all my toys from their box on the floor.

[Liberalynn]

15. I love that one too!

So did you end up very neat or very messy later in life?

I'm more than a bit messy myself.

[greatauntoftriplets]

25. Not neat.....

:D

A friend of my father's (the man owned a successful business) had a sign over his extremely messy desk taht said "A clean desk is the sign of a sick mind". I liked that.

[Liberalynn]

27. Me too.

[StellaBlue]

10. Nana

.

[Liberalynn]

18. I bet that made your grandmom proud and happy.

[RevCheesehead]

11. Horsie.

Pronounced "orsie". Apparently, it was a favorite toy of mine. Thing is, I've never been a horse person.

[Liberalynn]

17. Apparently

our toys may not be an indicator of future interests in life. My favorite toy was a ballerina doll called "Dancerina" and I never had any interest in the ballet after either.

[asthmaticeog]

16. According to my mom, it was "hot."

So go ahead, start in with the Paris Hilton jokes. I can take it.

[Liberalynn]

19. No Paris jokes from me.

She gets enough attention. But you will get a hug from me. :hug:

[deadparrot]

24. Da-da.

I was a "Daddy's Girl" from the beginning, I guess.

[Liberalynn]

28. That's always a nice thing to be.

:hug:

[Ptah]

26. My son's first was 'Ghostbusters.

My daughter's was 'Not me, I didn't do it'

:shrug:

[Liberalynn]

29. A Bill Murray fan

perhaps:shrug: He is kinda cute in a way.

[Ptah]

30. Beyond cute. Into beautiful.

[Liberalynn]

32. Very Beautiful

[Ptah]

34. There are moments in time that stay with us.

Thanks for seeing my children.

:hi:

edit for spelling, again.

[HEyHEY]

33. Cookie!

[LeftyMom]

35. Pizza.

Thus began my life-long love affair with food. *sigh*

[libnnc]

36. Bobby

The name of the bartender at my dad's Elks Club. Took my first steps behind the bar.

Hence my love of bar culture :toast: :beer:

I wonder if that's what made me a lesbian? :party:

[Oeditpus Rex]

37. I know the first word I read

"Sears."

It was in a newspaper ad.

[AlienGirl]

39. Cool! How old were you?

[Oeditpus Rex]

40. Uh...

*cringe*







17 months. :blush:

[AlienGirl]

46. Cool!

I have, in my baby book, some stuff I wrote at about 18 months--mostly my name and the word "Dada."

Tucker

[UncleSepp]

38. The entire alphabet.

My parents thought I was nonverbal up until age three. Apparently, I just wouldn't talk to them. My sister secretly tape recorded me singing the entire alphabet song... we have the tape somewhere.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

41. My first word was "Good."

According to my baby book......

I said it at a year....and my mom wrote that I seemed to use it in a way that indicated I knew what it was about.....

How about that?

:hi:

[MiniMandaRuth]

42. Dada!

[Rabrrrrrr]

43. "Illiterati." Possibly it was "Martini".

More than likely, my first word was a sentence using both.

[BigMcLargehuge]

44. "Dad"

no daddy, not papa (as Ian calls me), not Mom, Mama, or Ma...

Dad

[pokerfan]

45. I never had a first word

According to my parents, I didn't talk for three years and just when they were getting really worried, I started talking in sentences. Kinda weird.

[LaurenG]

47. I was the middle kid

my mother said I just started talking in sentences. The other kids before and after me all said really cute stuff. I probably had a first word she just was too busy to hear it. Neglect I tell you! lol
