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

I'm a great big loser nerd.

NP.

This time it's EXTRA special, though.
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
Because in this fic Sammy just said his first word, Dean, and I'm trying not to twitch.
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
Why?
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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.

*facepalm*

I can see you facepalming, you know.

XD
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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.
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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.

If Steve were here she'd be so proud.
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
XD
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
But, yeah. [At the age of two] it's unlikely that Sam's first word was, "Dean."

...I feel like I need to post this now, to show off my Geek creds.
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
it could be if he left off the d sound
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
Dean would still recognize it as his name
[Cut for fic quoting]
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
I didn't say it was that way in the fic
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
Ah.
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
I'm just saying it's not impossible
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
Well, yes, it could have been, but it wouldn't really be Dean's name, it'd be Sammy's name for Dean.
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
Like how Deano is John's name for him.
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
*sigh*
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
I know, I'm nerding.
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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.
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
I have no idea
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
Trufax: I have a cousin who, until she was four or so, thought her big brother's name was, "Nodon't!"
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lol
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
He was a cool kind until he became a preppy douchebag,
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
heh
