My son would say 'Short @rsed cockeny get' when he heard the name Dennis Wise. He still does. I also used to pick him up and gently shake him and he would say 'woodward woodward woodward woodward' in recognition of that famous nanny Louise Woodward. I don't do that one anymore as he is 10 and too heavy.

Mate of mine tried to get his son to say "More beer, bigger women". One of my brothers is making a concerted effort to get the other brothers' kid to say "Daddy is a twat".Originally posted by gingerjedi View PostMy girl is almost 3 weeks old and hasn't said a word yet? I'm training her hard to say daddy first.

I can't remeber many of his speaking milestones as he hasn't shut up since he learnt how to speak. I do remeber that he counted to 10 when he was 10 months old.
Well I say counted
it went
Me: 1
James : 2
Me: 3
James : 4
Me: 5
James : 6
Me: 7
James : 8
Me: 9
James : 10
He also said that he wanted twenty twelve Lychees from Tesco when he was 2. When I told him that wasn't a number he said that it was, it was 32.
When he was 3 they tested him at nursrey and he stopped counting when he got bored at 102. When the teacher asked him what was next he said 103 but in a voice to say 'are you stupid'
