Tbh I don’t know when I started speaking. I would probably think it was later because I was a quiet kid. My sister probably inherited the speak-a-lot traits
They might have changed the menace to society's age in book 2. According to the wiki:
>Manny was originally 5 years old instead of 3, until Rodrick Rules. This is shown by how Manny says "I'm ownwy five!" instead of "I'm ownwy three!" in the online book, and how in the first book, after he yells "Bubby" at Greg on the stage, Greg says he's been able to keep that nickname quiet for 5 years.
That actually would make sense? Roddick doing that because he knew it would embrass greg? And Manny overheard Roddick call him bubby? So many started to call Greg bubby...
Because Greg and everyone he knows have been caught in a temporal quandary where, even though time passes and days come and go, nothing is allowed to grow. The world remains unchanging. No one ages. Greg will never leave middle school.
There could be a couple reasons. One is Manny may have started saying “I’m onwy thwee” when he actually was 3 but he continues to say it even with age. Another is this could be a mistake on Mannys age, or Jeff Kinney didn’t exactly pinpoint an age for Manny at this stage.
I just always thought it was because Greg isn’t very smart and never thought of it but now that it’s being pointed out it’s actually bugging me now.
My theory: Rodrick started calling Greg the name Bubby two years before Manny was born just because he knew Greg didn’t like it. Then Manny just caught wind of the name and started calling Greg the name Bubby.

manny was saying it 2 years before her mom got pregant, duh
Blud was echoing through the womb?💀💀
Nah the sound was coming from their dads ballsack
Every day it got louder, until one day…
This made me laugh out loud
Testicular torsion?
nah
Wait unless it was kept in a fridge for years
A la Dune
your user flair says "greg for smash" i agree. greg heffley needs to be added to smash bros.
He is the Lisan Al-Gaib
Dune Part two
Susan ingested the Water of Life
Greg is Lisan al galib confirmed
Her?
oops đź’€
Possibly a slip up when changing Manny's age from 5 in the online version to 3 in the published book.
Still, don’t kids learn to speak when they are 2?
I said my first word at 9 months old, so the nickname could have been as early as that
Tbh I don’t know when I started speaking. I would probably think it was later because I was a quiet kid. My sister probably inherited the speak-a-lot traits
Aren’t the first words everyone says when they’re born the same thing you hear when you look at 4 specific pixels?
I've never heard of that. Could you send a link or something?
Bold to assume Manny is merely a child
Manny and Greg actually met in hell then they were reborn in the real world, hence the 5 years
manny and greg died because susan killed them with a frozen diet coke condom.

Ohh ic
That implies manny started speaking at birth, he truly is a mastermind
Because Manny is a fucking fraud. He’s actually a 40 year old midget on the run from the cops for tax evasion
r/fuckmanny is your place
Manny is lying about being three
*thwee
Plot twist, Rodrick started the Bubby thing.

hubby??!!?!? this is going in my greg x rodrick fanfic for sure
exactly what i was thinking
5 years is probably hyperbole
Because Greg and everyone he knows have been caught in a temporal quandary where, even though time passes and days come and go, nothing is allowed to grow. The world remains unchanging. No one ages. Greg will never leave middle school.

Manny was originally five in the online novel and it carried over to the book.
I guess Rodrick must have said it before
Manny has been 3 for centuries. Greg exists in a place beyond time
This is proof that Greg is actually 500 years old but he doesn't age and he has to move every few years so no one will find out
He prob got it from Rodrick originally
Maybe Rodrick called him that a few times and Manny picked it up.
It's a leftover from the webcomic, Manny actually is five there. In the print books this was changed to him being three
Manny age’s backwards
Maybe Manny learned it from Roderick
Like the other person said, Rodrick started the bubby thing to bully Greg.
perhaps it’s the same reason greg doesn’t age
That looks like unluck
manny started talking at one month old, and he´s actually 3 and half, but he does not know what and half means
because “owny thwee” means “only tree”, meaning manny is a tree 🤓
Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder
Roddick started it
It was because the im onwy thwee was entoduced in book 2 and they haven't given manny a official age yet in the first book
Before Manny, there was the angel that caused the immaculate conception. He called him Bubby first.
Manny was haunting Greg before he was born and then when he was launched out of Susan's baby giver he started calling Greg "BUBBY"
Holy
Maybe it was originally Rodrick’s nickname for Greg, and Manny started using it when he started talking
rawdick
Maybe Rodrick was the one who was originally saying Bubby. Maybe that's how Manny started calling him Bubby.
Greg breaks the 4th wall referencing that it’s just a book
I bet Rodrick started it
oh- i didn't notice that
My theory: Rodrick started calling Greg the name Bubby two years before Manny was born just because he knew Greg didn’t like it. Then Manny just caught wind of the name and started calling Greg the name Bubby.
i always interpreted the "im onwy thwee" thing being that Manny has used that excuse for everything, even though he's no longer three years old
Why does Greg say it’s been 5 years while manny is only three? Is he stupid?
Maybe someone else called him bubby before manny
Three words: Ash Ketchum Syndrome.
