What age did you speak your 1st word?

[BreezyMintDog]

I’m 63 and am moderately gifted. My 1st word was mom in a clear voice at 4 months old. Then 1 week later the 2 words hi mom in an extremely clear voice. The doctor at the time told my mom she’d never seen anything like it. Needless to say I was placed in the gifted program at 6 years old courtesy of my kindergarten teacher. Just wondering when was your 1st word?

Ds' second word was croissant. (We were in France). His French accent at that age was probably better than anything I've ever managed.

His first word was bisc. The theme has continued.

Nine.

Up until then the service had been perfectly adequate and my dear Papa and Mama required neither requests nor reprimands.

According to my mother I used to sit up in my big silver cross pram saying hello to everyone, they did keep toddlers in their big pram's a lot longer in the olden days lol.

lol.....

Hahahaha

My first word was 'cot', and I still very much like my bed to this day. I am probably moderately gifted at sleeping.

I'm howling at this thread 🤣

I was reading by the age of 2 weeks. My parents would throw volumes of the encyclopaedia britannica into my cot to keep me quiet.

This is brilliant, you've all cheered me right up this morning 😂

Some of you were really late bloomers.

I don't mean this to be a humble brag, but my mum told me that I used to conjugate Portuguese verbs as an ovum.

10 months old, haven't stopped since.

'Needless to say' is carrying a LOT of weight in the OP. A LOT.

i communicated from a year old onwards purely through Rachmaninov’s concertos, arranged for the xylophone. From 2 years on i moved into ground breaking audio-visual performance art that required my parents to wear 3-D glasses at all times when looking at me.

In all seriousness OP, if you’re thinking about whether you’re “gifted” at 63, rather than thinking about the amazing achievements you’ve made over your life time with your talents, you may well have been just a little ahead of your peers as statistically many children must be.

I am yet to be born and am communicating using my highly developed psychic typing prowess. On the occasion of my birth I will ascend immediately to a higher plane of existence beyond your comprehension.

These responses are hilarious. And here I was just about to only respond… bollox 😂

😂😂😂
Best thing I've ever read on Mumsnet 👏🏼

This thread is the best laugh I've had in an age!!!! 😂😂

Also this ^

I’m 58 and have never yet felt the need to speak. I use my right eyebrow to signal displeasure or surprise… and a very slight curve of the mouth when I’m amused.

Are you Victoria Beckham?

I can't actually remember.

Omg I'm laughing so much at this! 😂😂😂
