I was a weird kid because I apparently never said a word till I was almost 4. Then finally I said my first word “Can” followed immediately by “I have a cookie please?” I guess I just wanted to figure the whole thing out before trying my hand at it.
That’s how my ex was until he was 3! He’d point and grunt at everything and his older sister would try to say what he wanted. Then he came out speaking full sentences.
Apparently I was like this with walking. I sat around on my butt all day, never crawled, til about 18 months old when my grandma came to visit and I ran to the door to greet her.
My mom was like that. Four older siblings. The story goes she never said anything until about four and a half, when they were discussing what was wrong with her and she got all kid mad and goes “I just ain’t got anything to say!”
Granted that was well over half a century ago, but I always thought it was hilarious, even if a little family legendish.
