First word?

I have to tell you this story before it slips my mind. It was so funny but I’ve created a dispute between mama and papa. It’s about whether I uttered my first ‘legitimate’ intelligible word. I was in a crying fit; mama was too slow in making my lunch. So there I was bawling and saying all kinds of stuff, trying to hasten mama. When, suddenly papa went into a state of frenzy when he heard me said something like ‘baba’. Papa was adamant that my first word was his name. He went crazy with that notion and teased mama on my allegiance. But mama vehemently denies that I said ‘baba’. And that my first words would be to call mama. It went on and on, with papa dancing a jig and mama trying to stop the jiggy. What a funny sight. My defence? Beats me, I was crying so much I don’t know what I said.
