    I surveyed my surroundings, looked up at my Ma and said.

    "Jaysus, I thought you'd be taller"

    My first word was 'more', and my first big word was 'lemonade'.

    I always was a greedy one!

    I asked my Mam one day what my first word was. She replied "Ah, how should I know?" That made me feel really loved. :(

    Did he scream it out like Freddie Mercury and your one did?

    :D:D:D
    Mine was 'dog'. Anyway how about these for first words. A boy genius called Andragone DeMello born in 1977 said 'hello' at just 7wks old..fcukin' hell! How about Thomas Babington Macauley the 19th century poet-historian at 1yr old looked out of his nursery window and asked his frightened parents 'is the smoke from that chimney coming from Hell?' What a creepy little fecker!

    Yeah I read it in a book about mysteries. He was a child prodigy who calculated the volume of his bathwater at the age of 3. Mad that.

    My first words (yes, I didn't stop at one) were 'red one in the middle'.

    My parents were taking a picture of my two siblings and I, I was was wearing a red jumper with my name printed across the front. My Mam suggested that they should put the red one in the middle, and I thought it was a mighty fine idea, so much so I seconded it.

    I didn't stop at one either, my first words were "Baa Baa Black Sheep".

    And apparently when I woke up in the morning I used to sing "Baa Baa Black Sheep, Any Any Wool" to get my parents attention.

    At eleven months old, arms outstretched, eyes closed and chin up, I asked for hugs'n'kisses, said as one word.

    I still employ that method occasionally.

    That's actually proper cute.

    About 10 years ago there was a little girl living next door to us, it was a quiet road so her parents used to let her come out to play with us. She was Kenyan and didn't learn to speak English until she was about 3. The kids on our road taught her to say '****'... it was one of her first English words. I don't think her parents were too impressed.


    They also taught her to accompany the swearing with giving the middle finger. They were little Shits.
