dimity_blue1) What was your first word?
"No!" Apparently my mum was trying to feed me my veggies and I objected. Loudly.
2) How old were you?
Not a clue. At a guess, I'd say the usual age for a first word as no one ever mentioned waiting around for me to talk or worrying that I wouldn't.
3) Who heard you say it?
My mum and her parents and her siblings. Elaine (my aunt) has pointed out the irony of my now being a vegetarian.
4) Did you have trouble pronouncing any words as a kid?
Words with an 'r' in the middle, including my own name (Sarah). As an anxiety-ridden teen, the thought of slipping up and introducing myself as 'Sawah' was mortifying to me.
5) Are there any words you consistently mispronounce today?
If I'm tired, I still struggle with the 'r'.
