First Words

[RepresentingCaution]

Not counting "Mama" or "Dada" or other names for a caregiver, what was your first word? It's OK if you don't know what it was. My parents don't remember mine, but my Dad once claimed that my first word was "Curious George" because he wanted to boost my confidence in my intelligence.

My son's first word (other than Mama and Dada) is "on." He says it when he wants me to turn on an electronic toy, he says it when he wants to sit on my lap, he says it when he wants us to put socks on his feet, and he says it when he wants something since that something is always on something else, such as the floor or a shelf.

I have to say that I did not expect a preposition as a first word. I was expecting him to pick up a few nouns first. It's clear as day, though. It's overwhelming because it has so many uses. He gets upset when I tell him I'm not going to give him something he wants that's on a high shelf. He reaches at the same time, so it's very clear he wants something he's not allowed to touch.

Of course, kids understand a lot of what adults say before they feel confident enough to say a word. He understands many nouns including shoes, books, milk, highchair, and more! He's just not ready to say those words yet. I think I've heard him try a few other words, but he's not using them consistently, and it needs to be used consistently to count as a word.

my first word was literally "Fuck?"
Not the exclamation. The question. Rather, proposition? So i guess i was always destined to be a playa.

Im not even kidding either. My family used cuss words alot so i picked up on that even before the whole momma dadda thing

Hurts, in Portuguese would have been "dói." The story behind was because we went out on a picnic to a river where my uncles used to fish, and I was seated on a little carpet, but sadly, below it, there were one of those plants with thorns, so it was hitting the bottom of my leg. As time passed, it hurt more till the point my brain was like, now is the time or they'll never realize you're in pain. And yeah, that was it.
Your child sure is cuteeeeeeee!!

Mine was mum mum, which is a slang for water. My mother says that for some reason, every baby she has ever seen calls water that. I believe it's a self fulfilling prophecy here.

A cuss word in my language but didn't make sense until I learned Japanese.

I remember that my mom told me that my I use to copy one of the aunties who where walking by and accidentally cuss while walking. Something like 'Ay Puta!'.

I tried to copy her words but I was still young and instead, I said 'Ay....Futa?'.

You can now see how I look when I first discovered porn and the tag inclined to it.

Just like my first smut novel(an april fools chapter) being BL....

Hahaha.....*Dying Inside*
