Breaking: H & M in Car Chase

Oh Annie, please don’t.

No more to be said Fanny it happens every time on a H & M
thread

Thank you

It is a bit hilarious when a thread which has wandered a bit, and then returned to its original subject, is criticised for wandering, which only sets off the wandering again!!

I think our 2 year old may well have done Anniebach.
But then we fitted seatbelts in a car (in the 90s) where the cost of all the various belts (6 of them) was more than the cost of the car they were fitted in! We were pretty invested in buckling-up!

I think my DDs might have done. Then try to wriggle out of the straps.
DS would have asked "Why? But Why. Why Mummy. Why?" about 50 times.

Patience is a virtue.

VanillaSky, thank you for taking the time to delve into your memory banks to verify the Archie seatbelt story. I seem to remember the implication from H being that A knew how fussy he was about seatbelts being on.
I'm glad my own memory isn't as rusty as I sometimes think it is.

Long time ago for my memory but I doubt my daughters aged 2 would have reminded me to put seat belts on , they hated them so would have remained silent

Mine were excited to have them fitted. They watched me struggle with them for 2 days. It was an old car and I had to take out all the seats.

It wasn't till 1987 that rear seatbelts were fitted in new cars so it was a big job retro-fitting.

I'm sure that much later my children would have complained! And the ones being wrestled into car seats

So therefore no 2 year old d er would say that?

Agh, but I have had the will, during a coffee break with no bourbons, (at the ⛱️ 👙), to delve into the Oprah transcript for more evidence!

Both Harry and Meghan said about Archie .......
M "But also, any time anyone leaves the house, he's like ‘Drive safe!’"
H "'Drive safe!’ He's not even two yet.”

Although not technically about wearing a seatbelt, it's still about driving prudently to avoid a catastrophe. That makes 3 occasions.
So we're ALL right on this one today!

I can't comment whether Archie's speech was very advanced though I do remember they said his first word was 🐊 crocodile.

And when Harry did the "top of the bus" interview with James Corden, he said that Archie had asked the Queen for a waffle maker for Christmas. He must have been about 2.

Boys are often slower at talking, so perhaps his speech was advanced.
My DDs chatted away by 15 months but not DS.

I think I remember, my first child aged 2, was in some sort of rigid car seat affair that required him being strapped in otherwise he'd have fallen out of it. I remember it well because I had a Renault 5 with only 3 doors so I had to get in the back too, to do the necessary, what a palaver! Not a problem with a large 4 door SUV I'm sure! When number 2 was less than a year, I got a brand new car with 5 doors, I was so happy much easier to strap them in without clambering in myself. I can't really remember what orders they issued, my younger one didn't say much until he was 3, continual ear infections rendered him a bit deaf for a while.

I do remember my granddaughter at a pretty young age, maybe 2 and half, issuing all manner of directives as to where to park, usually somewhere completely illegal and not a parking space at all, but always following it up with "I just said park there and you didn't listen!"

I recall Harry saying that Archie’s first words were grandma Diana which I thought was pretty advanced for the first words. Maybe they were amongst his first words. My firstborn, a boy, talked very early and spoke in sentences by twenty four months. My next two were about three months behind him with their speech, but all three were chatting away by two and a half. I believe Archie could have been talking when he was two years old, I have no reason not to believe that. He could also easily have been saying drive safe at two as children copy what adults say.

My car bleeps if someone in a seat or even childseat hasn't buckled up. It gets louder and louder until it shrieks!

DH taught our youngest to say Rimski Korsakov whenever anybody asked her her name. She was under two! 😂

Small children love to pick up random words and phrases from adults even if they don’t know what they mean and even better if it grabs attention.

Callistemon you’re right, Harry also said Archie’s first word was crocodile and therefore I’m thinking that these words/phrases were amongst the first things Archie said. The very first words are usually babble such as dada and mama, ta (for thanks) more, dog, cat, etc. Then they move on to attempts at other words such as crocodile or grandma Diana, but often indistinguishable to anyone other than the parents.

Sounds like my older DD
and younger DGD! 😁

My youngest DC said her first sentence at 9 months (I had a witness too so it wasn't my fond imaginings).
Her siblings would say "and she's never stopped talking since!"

Ours used to pick up a saying every holiday when they were little, sometimes in French, usually meaningless, and it would get repeated as we travelled - with great hilarity on their part.

Holly Willoughby has been called the Megan Markle of broadcasting !

Meghan Markle is apparently ( according to her publicist) one of the most famous and influential women in the world today.

She said, in her acceptance speech (for whatever it was she was awarded):

"It's just never too late to start. You can be the visionary of your own life.
"You can charter a path in which what you repeat in your daily acts of service, in kindness, in advocacy, in grace and in fairness, that those become the very things that are recognised by the next wave of women, both young and old, who will also choose this moment to join the movement and make our vision for an equitable world reality."

‘You can charter a path’. I thought people chartered yachts and planes.

I haven’t recognised much kindness, grace or fairness on her part.

“Charter a path” - I heard that too GSM - I take it she meant “chart a path” but like most of the rest of what I heard it made precious little sense. Clearly written by somebody with very little sense of English, and if not by M, she needs better speech writers.

“It's just never too late to start. You can be the visionary of your own life.
"You can charter a path in which what you repeat in your daily acts of service, in kindness, in advocacy, in grace and in fairness, that those become the very things that are recognised by the next wave of women, both young and old, who will also choose this moment to join the movement and make our vision for an equitable world reality."
Just so much gobbledegook.
