Always remember some of my daughters first words. We were in the car going through town, she was in her baby seat in the back, and all of a sudden this little voice parrotted the slogan from tv - " Michael Hill Jewellers" !
We cracked up...
She also sang along to the Neighbours theme song but it was mostly nonsense words. Eighties baby...
