I guess I was a handful when I began speaking because there were a couple of instances where I really embarassed my parents!
When I first began talking, my parents were teaching me body parts. They would point to my nose and say "nose", things like that. I guess I took a particular liking to the word "butt", because when my Mom took me with her to the grocery store one day, I was pointing at peoples backsides and whispering "butt". Well this one, shall we say curvier woman walked by, and I pointed to her backside and starting screaming "BUTT" really loudly. My Mom was horrified, she thought the woman was going to kill me, so she picked me up and ran out the store.
It was around christmastime, and my parents decided to teach me the word "Santa Claus". Well, the way I said it it came out more like "cock" instead of "claus". They took me to midnight mass on christmas eve, and as it turns out, the priest looked a lot like Santa Claus. He came waslking down the aisle in his red vestements (SP?) and had a beard and everything. So I started saying "cock" loud enough for everyone around to stare!
I'm surprised my parent ever let me speak after that!
