Watch me Nerd (like I'm in a herd, not the squad).

I'm a great big loser nerd.

ty
waterofthemoon says (4:54 PM):
I know
clex_monkie89 says (4:54 PM):
NP.
clex_monkie89 says (4:54 PM):
:P
clex_monkie89 says (4:54 PM):
This time it's EXTRA special, though.
clex_monkie89 says (4:55 PM):
Because in this fic Sammy just said his first word, Dean, and I'm trying not to twitch.
clex_monkie89 says (4:55 PM):
Why?
clex_monkie89 says (4:56 PM):
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.
waterofthemoon says (4:56 PM):
*facepalm*
clex_monkie89 says (4:56 PM):
I can see you facepalming, you know.
clex_monkie89 says (4:57 PM):
XD
clex_monkie89 says (4:58 PM):
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.
clex_monkie89 says (4:59 PM):
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.
clex_monkie89 says (5:00 PM):
If Steve were here she'd be so proud.
waterofthemoon says (5:00 PM):
XD
clex_monkie89 says (5:02 PM):
But, yeah. [At the age of two] it's unlikely that Sam's first word was, "Dean."
clex_monkie89 says (5:02 PM):
...I feel like I need to post this now, to show off my Geek creds.
waterofthemoon says (5:02 PM):
it could be if he left off the d sound
waterofthemoon says (5:03 PM):
Dean would still recognize it as his name

[Cut for fic quoting]

waterofthemoon says (5:03 PM):
I didn't say it was that way in the fic
clex_monkie89 says (5:03 PM):
Ah.
waterofthemoon says (5:03 PM):
I'm just saying it's not impossible
clex_monkie89 says (5:04 PM):
Well, yes, it could have been, but it wouldn't really be Dean's name, it'd be Sammy's name for Dean.
clex_monkie89 says (5:04 PM):
Like how Deano is John's name for him.
waterofthemoon says (5:04 PM):
*sigh*
clex_monkie89 says (5:04 PM):
I know, I'm nerding.
clex_monkie89 says (5:05 PM):
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.
waterofthemoon says (5:05 PM):
I have no idea
clex_monkie89 says (5:06 PM):
Trufax: I have a cousin who, until she was four or so, thought her big brother's name was, "Nodon't!"
waterofthemoon says (5:07 PM):
lol
clex_monkie89 says (5:07 PM):
He was a cool kind until he became a preppy douchebag,
waterofthemoon says (5:08 PM):
heh
