Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for January 25, 2023

So sweet. I just marvel how great Dave draws every character. Best humor and great artistic skills! Please go on for much-much more years!

Of course the words he is speaking now don’t count. They are not part of the official record. A baby’s (first) words only exist if mama is there to hear them.

My son’s first word was “oove” (I love you)

One small step for mankind… Oups…

Mine was “Rosebud”!

Actually “mama” is not a real word. It is a sound that all babies make early on that mothers decided is a word referring to them and so is one of very few “words” that mean the same in almost all languages.

Isn’t that baby speech profound!

Assuming this is set in modern times, the first word will probably be “mine!”

Our eldest son was fascinated by dogs, so his first word was “goggy!” (doggy)

Actually, most babies’ first word is “dada”; easier to form than “mama”.

Well it seems he has no problem conversing with his friend! LOL

Blow their minds. Blurt out “Zeitgeist”.

A friend claims his first word was “touchdown.”

“BlockChain!!”

When the time comes, just say “profound”.

With my three sons their first word was dada. Drove my wife nuts.
