First Word

In preparation for Kari’s bridal shower, I received a list of questions from Princess Jillian that they were going to ask Kari. Apparently for each correct question based on my response, Kari was to be rewarded with a gift. There were about thirty or so questions ranging from topics like, “What’s Kari’s favorite book?” to “What’s her favorite candy?” However, there was one question that I didn’t know the answer to.

“What was my first word?”

Hmmmmm… now that I didn’t know. So I picked up the phone and called the most authoritative source I could think of: Mom. Needless to say I was somewhat shocked to learn the first utterance of the English language to escape my lips.

It wasn’t a derivation of Mom.

It wasn’t a variant of Dad.

Oh no.

It was, are you ready for this, …

…

…

“Cat.”

Mom said I was in my walker and there was a cat on the other side of a sliding glass door. And I just sat there saying, “Cat, Cat, Cat.” I’m willing to bet I just beginning to cultivate an extreme dislike for the beasts.

Now for those of you who don’t really know me, I really don’t like cats. Seriously. Cats made the coveted Arch Nemesis list at the #9 spot. Then there was this one time, when I was two, I took a piece of plywood and made a kitten into a bear skin rug. You wouldn’t think the weight of a two year applied repeatably to a piece of plywood would flatten a kitten…but apparently it does.

Who knew?

And thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday yesterday!!
