Not too sure if this is where this should be, but heard a new one the other day and thought lets see how true it is.
Mums with more than one child, or who who know the gender of their next due one.
Did your little one say Mum or Dad first, and what was the gender of the next child.

Kiya was Mummy (despite Poppa's best efforts), next baby was a boy...
Josiah was Mummy, next baby was a boy...
Xavier was Daddy, next baby is a boy.
What's the myth?

The names mum and dad probably come from the sounds babies make, as language develops. Especially with many languages having a similar sounding name for mum and dad.
if you listen to a child pre-mama/dada sound but close, they will make the mmm sound when they are crying and upset, and the dddd sound when they are happy. Language and the titles would have evolved to match the needs of the child. Mums go to upset children, dads like and respond to happy children.

The myth I heard was that they will say the name of the parent the next child is. ie if Mum is said first, then the next bubs is a girl. Looks like we busted this one too
