I didn't speak until I was 3, almost 4. Mom says that after I started talking, I didn't shutup. Heh.

They also say that my sister ALWAYS knew what I wanted/needed, regardless of me not speaking. Pretty intriguing.

My twin sister and I have a sister who is 17 months older, and she would continuously regress into baby babble with us and it always seems like we understood each other and would get up at the same time to go to another room.

There’s definitely evidence to conclude that baby babble is a rudimentary language between babies and children still young enough to understand

You just brought forth a memory hidden so deep I forgot it existed.

I legit thought that movie was a fever dream for a good minute. It exists! It's real!!
