Writer's Block: Childhood Firsts

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.

Well, it's good that you can talk.

Dare I ask... was this a book delivery perchance, or just normal mail? :D

Was your Mom shocked at your being able to talk after being told you wouldn't able to be?

And I'm glad that you're able to talk, it tends to be a rather handy thing to do. :) And I'm still waiting to hear that sweet voice...

No, not a book delivery--Mom has no idea what the mail was, just that I said it. *laughs*

And I doubt she was that shocked. Until then, I just hadn't had a good reason to say anything.
