One of the things that makes parents the most funny is when being babies They say something that looks like a word. In Spain we are very encouraged to encourage them to say "Garlic", not because it is useful for them to know how to name this plant that we use to flavor, but because it is what many babies say before.
Now, outside our borders, where they do not speak Spanish, the "garlic" to parents does not sound like anything, so they have to look for other words that may surprise them, as in the case that today I tell you about a baby two months left his mother speechless by saying "Hello".
Greeting mom's friend
His name is Christian and that day he was being recorded to be seen on video by a friend of his mother, Samantha Jones. Through Snapchat, she and her friend communicated through the video and at one point the mother told her son to say hello to her friend Amber.
After asking him to say "Hello" on several occasions, the baby did what neither of them expected him to do: say "Hello". Before such a surprise, he decided to share the moment on Facebook and there he began to share until it goes viral (More than 1.5 million people have already seen the curious moment).
How is it possible for a baby to say "Hello"?
Actually it's not possible, because he doesn't know he said anything. Or do we think that when our Spanish babies say garlic they have some notion of what garlic is? Let's say that the mother was lucky that at that moment all the stars lined up to coincide with the moment she was recording, she was asking him to say hello and the baby to mark what looks like a "Hello".
But apparently, as the mother explains, He hasn't said it anymore. Which is logical because, as I say, a baby is not able to repeat a word that does not know it is, nor does it know what it means. It is possible that another day the mother urges her to say "Hello" and say "Iowa" (or say nothing).
It won't be until sometime after 8-10 months when he will finally say his first word with meaning: "Dad", "Mom" or similar, depending on the word that has been repeated most. That is actually considered the first word, because he will say it knowing what it means, and with all the intention of the world.
