Saying The Darnedest Things – From The Very Beginning!

My wife’s first nephew was a quiet child. He didn’t speak for the first two years of his life. He was engaged with activities and family, and he responded physically when asked to do something. They didn’t think he was on the autism spectrum, but they weren’t sure what problem, if any, he had.

One day when my wife was visiting, the family went for a long drive. Somewhere along the way, they saw some unusual sight. Her nephew stared at whatever it was and then turned to the family and asked:

Nephew: “What the h*** was that?!”

Everyone was stunned. Instead of “mama” or “dada”, his first words were, “What the h*** was that?!”

He’s been talkative ever since.
