Thanks for starting this!

It got me thinking about how I thought and spoke as a child. It was always encouraged to be adult, use “big” words. So, I don’t remember myself ever having baby talk, childish, cute sayings. Interesting…

I used to play with my dog by dressing him up in clothes and wheeling him in a baby carriage, and he would let me. I guess I played with him pretending he was my baby. What a funny image of his big dog snout sticking out through a baby bonnet while he rides in a stroller! I can’t remember how I spoke then, and what I might have said.

It was probably something like, “Come on, let’s go to the grocery store now. I’ll get you a cookie from the bakery.” But, I may not have had that much word skill at that young age to say that.
