horrible old woman!
I was at the hospital today and in the waiting area got talking to some old ladies - they always like to coo over the baby!
I told them he was 10 months old, and one of them asked if he could talk yet. I said just the usual words at this stage, you know, mama, dada etc. So the old woman said 'never mind, don't worry. Some babies are just a bit slower.' Apparently her kids were talking by 6 months and when her eldest was just 15 months she would send him on his little bike to the shop and he could ask for a loaf of bread and a pint of milk. She was so patronising about my 'slow' little boy.
Is it just me, or was she talking absolute bull***t? I don't know any babies who could say anything at 6 months!
