Writer's Block: Childhood Firsts

[Error: unknown template qotd]

My first word was mailman. Mom says I was sitting in front of the door, and saw the truck drive by. Since Mom hadn't spotted it yet, I said that word and pointed so she would know.

I was 9 months old. Of course, Mom had been told by a doctor that I would never be able to talk, because I have a soft palate. Shows what they know, sometimes. When I was 3 or 4 years old, they did a talking X-Ray of it, to show me why I shouldn't be able to talk.
