I'm a great big loser nerd.

I know
NP.
:P
This time it's EXTRA special, though.
Because in this fic Sammy just said his first word, Dean, and I'm trying not to twitch.
Why?
Because the reason babies say, "Mama," before they say, "Dada," is because the M sound is easier to make, the D is hard because the tongue has to be placed at the front ridge behind where the teeth come in, and it's too complicated for baby to understand.
*facepalm*
I can see you facepalming, you know.
XD
The only way for "Dean" to be Sam's first word is if he's one of those kids who doesn't speak until very late, because then he'd have enough conscious time to listen to the words and watch the mouths to imitate.
So, really, Dean and John were probably, "Eeen" and "Papa" for a while, because "Dada" just turns into "Aah" and "Daddy" turns into a long A.
If Steve were here she'd be so proud.
XD
But, yeah. [At the age of two] it's unlikely that Sam's first word was, "Dean."
...I feel like I need to post this now, to show off my Geek creds.
it could be if he left off the d sound
Dean would still recognize it as his name
[Cut for fic quoting]
I didn't say it was that way in the fic
Ah.
I'm just saying it's not impossible
Well, yes, it could have been, but it wouldn't really be Dean's name, it'd be Sammy's name for Dean.
Like how Deano is John's name for him.
*sigh*
I know, I'm nerding.
But this actually makes me wonder what he called Dean. Because I know very few people who have been called by the same version of their name their whole life, especially if they have a younger sibling.
I have no idea
Trufax: I have a cousin who, until she was four or so, thought her big brother's name was, "Nodon't!"
lol
He was a cool kind until he became a preppy douchebag,
heh
