2. How old were you?
About 18 months.
3. Who heard you say it?
My mother and Grandma Mathis.

Not that I recall. As a dyslexic child I had more issues with handwriting and spelling
5. Are there any words you consistently mispronounce today?
There are ton. My sister is always correcting my pronunciations. I tend to put the wrong emphasis on the syllable.
1) Tootiver (screwdriver)

5) maybe dunno
1. No idea.
2. I really didn’t begin speaking until about 3.. Between Roy, my older cousins, and older kids my mom cared for, I never had to talk until then. When I did, it was in complete sentences.
3. Mom
4. My cousin’s name, Brendan, yellow, and I had a slight lisp.
5. Abdomen. If I think about saying it, I can’t spit it out. And when you’re teaching first aid, it’s a problem.
