An early memory
Submitted by ParU on Wed, 10/01/2003 - 11:34am. Beautiful
So I figured I'd share a story about my baby daughter. When she was very young and first learning to talk she'd often 'make up' words to fit what she was talking about. (flashlight. She looks at me quizically and says (with a note of triumph in her voice) flashnah!. And she's thrilled that it goes on when you push the switch.

The nah at the end of the tunnel

The genesis of her fascination with things scientific and wordy, both. I assume she had the wiring schematics for the house nahs all drawn out by age three.

A thousand points of nah! Paris, the city of nahs! "You Nah Up My Life." Nahning bugs!

sluggy - cute. No actually she wasn't that interested in scientific/electronic stuff till she got to college (she went in as an engineering major).

But a thousand points of 'nah' is clever.

Did you talk a lot about "slights" hoping to get her to say "snots"? Probably not. That would have been juvenile.

Larry - No.

But I do have video of her being 'proud of myself, for reading' (her words) when she was 4.5 yrs old. Just in case a little blackmail is necessary.
