What words does your little one pronounce incorrectly? Any sayings they misunderstand in that cute way only little ones can? I know we had a thread before on "funny sayings" before but oh well... :shuffle:

:)

Caleb pronounces poop as pyoop. Not pie-ooop. Peeoop but the "e" is fast.

Ew! I just went pyoop! :lol:

He also puts chains of letters together and every time he says that it spells, "cornheads" in honor of The Coneheads movie which he saw once for about one minute. It seems to have made a lasting impression. Oh and he also calls popcorn "cornpops". He just likes saying variations of "cornhead" I guess!

Jackson pronounces popcorn as "pahcorn." :lol:

I know there are more, but I can't remember them. I'll have to come back. :lol:

The day after this one is called "tamahmow"

Caroline is actually getting out of these types of pronunciations, and it makes me sad. Such an obvious sign of being a big kid, kwim? Once she learns how to say tomorrow, I'm going to cry!

Mal-Mart :nod: all *3* of them call it that!! :lol:

Aaron says "Hots-pital" instead of hospital. I think it's so cute that I will sometimes purposely drive past the hospital just to ask him what it is :lol:

And not so much a word as it is a phrase, but whenever I say, "Oh my goodness" he'll answer a few minutes later with "Oh my grocery store!" :scratch:

Ben doesn't put his toys into a container - he puts it into a "ben-tainer". That's the only one I can think of right now, although I know there's more. A friend's husband worked on yellow with him this weekend - I'm glad it didn't take as I rather like lellow.

Peyton calls hotels, 'show and tells'. :lol: I have no clue where that came from.

Maggie calls mistakes bisteaks.

I always loved the way Aiden calls butter "Bubber" :lol:

Brookelyn recently went to our towns annual 'Poppy Festival' with my aunt and uncle who were in town. She constantly talks now about the 'Poppy vegta-ta-bol' lol!
She also says burgercheese, instaed of cheeseburger. We can't figure out why because no matter how many times you say cheeseburger, she still says burgercheese.
That's all of can think of for now:)

Addison is almost past these, but she used to say:
hamberberger ~ hamburger
pacuter ~ computer
marote ~ remote

Aubrey says:
gooey gooey gosh ~ as an expression meaning something like 'oh my gosh'
shake a boo boo ~ there's a dance to go with it. I think it came from 'shake your booty'.

Kaden says:

Peanut butter= Hah buh buh (he's learned very recently how to say it correctly :jump:)
Hamburger=Hah buh buh (same as peanut butter)
Snowman=Zadow (said in a growly voice-don't have a clue!)

Clock=cock (so I don't often ask anything about a clock. At Disney there was a big clock and of course he was yelling, "look at that BIG cock!!" I tried to distract him quickly)

Kalyssa says pee-nan-oh for piano.

Keira doesn't say much yet, she mostly hums everything. She will say "hee key key" for here kitty kitty.

Aiden:

Serster - Sister
pahcorn - popcorn
mile - smile (as in wanting to take a picture)
her - here
old it - hold it
choos - shoes or juice
doodles - noodles
pahta - pasta
awbeddies - strawberries
coolbuts - school bus
brote it - broken
peebudder - peanut butter
natnich - sandwich
peebudder natnich - peanut butter sandwich
tar - guitar
dum - drum
orsy - horsey
tuck - truck
motorcercle - motorcycle
cudder - color

Caleb calls the Backyardigans the Gackagardigans and Little Einsteins are the Little Einkines.

And for some reason he has ALWAYS referred to the Count on Sesame Street as LaLa. ALWAYS. Although now he calls him LaLaCount. :)

Maia used to call Cinderella "Cinderocka." I was sad when she stopped that. Umbrellas used to be "aye-rockas." :lol:

She still says "bum-cuter" for computer, but she's outgrowing it. She actually used to start many words with "bum."

bum-gina (vagina)
bum-tility room (utility room)
bum-nastics (gymnastics)

Maia's now pronouncing most things correctly. I haven't noticed that Cole has any funny words like this.

oh - Jacob calls Cinderella Cind-uh-brella :lol:

:doh: That reminds me, Caroline occasionally still calls it a "pecuter"

She still says "bum-cuter" for computer, but she's outgrowing it.

Maggie calls hospital, "hopsital"
the supermarket is the "sukormarket" and we go to Shop and Stop, never Stop and Shop
a booboo is a "byu byu"
pasta with butter is "pastalabangelo." No idea where that came from!

Cole calls a restaurant a "wessarahnk." It's hard to type out how he says it.

A few months ago we were talking about grilled cheese (kalyssa wanted one) and kaden kept saying "buhcheese!" We finally realized he thought we were saying GIRL cheese and he wanted a BOY cheese. He still calls it boy cheese.

Caroline used to say "westawahnk". :lol:

Cole calls a restaurant a "wessarahnk."

I almost forgot her pronunciation for stroller....I don't think I can even replicate it. Closest is "shwaowoo"

The only one I can think of right now is "kepup" for ketchup.

Thought of another one, she says 'pete-it-putter' instead of peanut butter lol

Addison used to call Strawberry Shortcake "Strawberry Cupcake". Aubrey calls her "Strawberry Shootcake"

Addison used to call Maggie and the Ferocious Beast "Maggie and the Roast Beef"

And Addison still calls pineapples "pinecones" and pinecones "acorns".

Rebekah called cool whip "cobwebs" and windshield wipers were "wipesheepers".

And she still calls Daniel's penis his "peanut".

Jen - does Kaden not call Keira he-na-nin anymore? (or however you spell it?)

Oh boy...where do I start....

Norah & Elliott:
water=ma
blanket=dee
banana=nanny

Norah:
hair bow= smo
hospital=ah-pit
computer=puta
bike= pedal

Elliott:
hospital=ops-tal
computer=cuh-pa, cuh-pa, cuh-pa, cuh-pa (about 25x in a row)

He used to call airplane= buta, but he's finally starting to say 'plane!"

The only 2 words that I can think of that Aidan still can't say correctly are:
thank you= kaythe you
vagina= bagina

Dylan's thank you comes out more like no fank you.

When he's mad and you ask him to do something he'll say no fank you but it really sounds more like, No. F** you. :lol:

Alyssa doesn't have many anymore. She really has outgrown most of them

She does still call
Diaper Bag - Diaker bag
Her V's - just sometimes are still B's and I like it!
Computer - used to be puter
Piano - is still sometimes panyo

That is about it..IT makes me sad as I love that little child dialect. I want more kids in the worst way :lol:

Victoria doesn't have many words that she still has a problem with - the only one coming to mind is hospital, she says hostipal. I remember the one she always got wrong that I got a kick out of was how she said Giggles for the Wiggles.

Alex is still have some issues with S and F at the beginning of words. Superman comes out Duperman. He also has some difficulty with combinations like th, sh, and ch. Cheese comes out as geeze and kechup is checkup.

Now, Lauren has a ton of them but I'm drawing a blank but here are the ones I remember:

gook is milk
kicken is chicken
mare is banana
amamance is ambulance
goose is juice
wah is water
Iggie Town Ear-Os is Higglytown Heroes

Alyssa told me a new one today..She loves to go to http://www.pbskids.org well she calls it pbskids.gorg :lol:

Mason doesn't have many anymore. :blue:

He still says Nank you for thank you.

Helmet sounds like Helment but if you ask him a few times he'll say I SAID HELMET! :mad:

The best one by far is construction or instructions. I have it on video. (www.dropshots.com/day.php?userid=10407&cdate=20060325&ctime=172237) It is sort of like swa-swuck-shun.

Kaden does say "hee-nah-nin" for Keira Lynn, it's just normal to me now.
We even call her that sometime :lol:

Used to say:
Screwdriver- roo by buh
Plane- Nee (again, no idea?)
Milk- Meal-t
Chocolate-hoggit (still says this)
Kaden Zane- Dayden dane

He has a language all his own!

Kalyssa called an indian burn and "army burn".

She says "head-fore" for forehead and "scratch-backer" for back scratcher.

Band Abe (Bandaid)
Rabioli (Ravioli)

Kaden does say "hee-nah-nin" for Keira Lynn, it's just normal to me now.
We even call her that sometime :lol:


:lol: We did that to Victoria for a little while too. Alex couldn't say her name so he was calling her "Oria" then when he started saying "Icky Yaya" we called her that too.

Remembered one of Jackson's:

He says "magrilla" for gorilla

Sarah doesn't talk yet, but I remember my little brother had some good ones (he's 19 now, so he obviously doesn't do these anymore)

mokercycle = motorcycle
gock = clock

I swear he had more, but I can't remember them anymore!!!

Oh, and Brooke's post about calling a penis a "peanut" reminds me of a funny story with my other little brother. We saw ET in the theater when it first came out. There's a line in the movie where Elliott says "It was nothing like that, penis breath!" and for months my other little brother called everyone "peanut breath." :lol2:

The other day, Ian kept asking for his "mucus". "Where's my mucus?" I had no idea what he was talking about. Finally, he found it! It was his MUSIC toy! :lol2:

Addison calls freckles "farkles".

The other day, Ian kept asking for his "mucus". "Where's my mucus?" I had no idea what he was talking about. Finally, he found it! It was his MUSIC toy! :lol2:

:lol2:

Rebecca has a bunch of them, but of course I can't think of any right now :crazy:

1 that sticks in my head from Isabelle (1 of her few still left)- is instead of saying "scratchy throat", she calls it a "grouchy throat" :lol:

I forgot a really good one. Mason has known this kid Matteo since he was 2. Ever since he has known him (and to this day!) he calls him: Matato. :lol2: Even I call him Matato. :lol: His Mom is a teacher at the school and she thinks it's hysterical.

He also calls Peter Parker (from Spiderman) Peever Parker.

Almost everything Caroline says sounds funny - but these are my favorites:

"baby suit" = bathing suit

"strawbee cake" = Strawberry Shortcake

I was thinking about this thread yesterday. Alyssa really talks like a little adult and it is so fun to have some girl time with her. Here are two things she says...

"Mommy, I don't think Tylor is going to let you use the computer afterall"
-where does she learn to use that in the correct context :lol:

"Actually it is going to rain today"
-She says the word "actually" at least once an hour. Kara and I are pretty sure that she got that from their preschool teacher as her son Austin will also say it. Alyssa loves this word :lol:

We were playing with my 2-year-old niece recently and trying to get her to say stuff and I asked her to say David Hasselhoff (like they asked Lisa to do in The Simpsons in the episode where they talk about her first word) and she said "David Hefflehoff"

I'll see her Saturday and we'll see if we can get anything else interesting out of her.

Right now Sarah calls me "mamamamamamamamama...." :lol:

My oldest child used to call McDonalds restuarant "old macdonalds." :lol:

Addyson calls "yogurt" - Con-urt :scratch: I'll say, "no, Addy, it's YOGURT" and she'll repeat, "no, it's CONURT" :lol: It cracks me up.

Jacob also says he wants to watch "Cinderbrella" whenever he wants to watch Cinderella :lol:

My oldest child used to call McDonalds restuarant "old macdonalds." :lol:

Mason used to, so that's what Patrick and I call it all the time now. :)

Carter:
People = "poop-tee" (that was the cutest one, but he doesn't say it anymore)
Napkin = "yakin"
Bridget = "Dribbet" (he'll say "I can say Bridget, but I call her Dribbet")
Remote = "merote"
Thank you = "kay koo" (he doesn't say this anymore)
Whenever Carter wants you to stop something, like tickling him, he says "exit!" I have no clue where he got this.


Heather - most of her words don't sound anything like the real word
I love you = "I yuh yoo"
open = "elmo"

Oh wow, I was just thinking about this thread today! :lol:

Maggie says "bascepts" for "except" and I love it. There are others, too, but I can't think of them at the moment.

We were talking about this just the other day as well. Alyssa still has some words that are so cute. I hate to see them go.

Diaper bag - "Diker bag"
Trash Can - "Crash Can"
Erase - "Rerase"

Riley has some cute ones:

chapstick=chap chap
bathtub=tub tub
popcorn=cop purn
stuck=kuk

Kalyssa says Pee-nan-oh for Piano.

Caroline calls a guitar "pittar". She can SAY guitar if you tell her, but she can't remember it on her own!

When driving, Mason and I keep an eye out for all the basketball hoots. :lol:

My oldest child used to call McDonalds restuarant "old macdonalds." :lol:

Claira calls McDonalds 'Old Mcdonalds' too :lol:

Janelle has done these ones for a really long time now...

Sneezenex-Kleenex
Rainbrella-umbrella

And not so much a word as it is a phrase, but whenever I say, "Oh my goodness" he'll answer a few minutes later with "Oh my grocery store!" :scratch:


This reminds me...

Ryan and Janelle were pre-tend fising at a friend's barbecue this summer and whenever she missed while casting DH would say "Miss-fire", she decided he was saying "missed-on-fire" but since she doesn't like fire she decided to say "missed-on-dandelion"...and she still says it whenever she doesn't get something just right.

Clock=cock (so I don't often ask anything about a clock. At Disney there was a big clock and of course he was yelling, "look at that BIG cock!!" I tried to distract him quickly)


Kincaid used to say "cunt" for colour, don't ask me why, but he'd scream it in restaraunts when he wanted crayons.

My little (ok, he's 25, 6'3" and near 400lbs...so not so little) brother used to say "raped" for grapes, and he would frequently scream in the produce section "I want raped, I want raped"...

Aaron has a couple of cute ones that I hate to see go:
Lellow = Yellow
Zizzors = Scissors
Sir-stee = Thirsty

If I ask him to say each of the words slowly he can say them correctly. I think he knows I secretly think they're cute. :hb:

Band Abe (Bandaid)


Janelle used to call band aids bandybands, I miss that!

Kincaid says everything weird...

DIE means colour (and up untill about February it meant drink and cunt meant colour)
beh-fah means drink
koo means juice, shoos, blues clues...
muh-ee means mommy and daddy
eee-key means diaper
key-kay means kitty (finally, a semi-normal one)
ay-ay means thomas the train and strawberry shortcake
O-buh means hello kitty
fuhh-her-fie means butterfly(another semi-normal one)

Alexis refers to her dance recitals as "ba-citals" and she also calls McDonalds "Old McDonalds". Analiese calls herself "Ana-neese" and refers to eating supper as "suppa" I love hearing these funny words.

The other day, Jackson called the computer a "pecuter" and I thought of Anne's Caroline. :lol: (it was Caroline that said it that way, right?)

Pecuters are awesome! (yes, it was Caroline who says that still sometimes...)

And how could I forget when we were out on the lake with my parents last weekend.....we were coming up on the harbor and the bouys and Alexis yells "Look Mimi...we're about to drive thru the boobies!"

Okay so Alexis seems to be having a hard time pronouncing the sound "cah" as in crackers. It comes out with a "fu" sound at the beginning - :eek: The same with "truck" it comes out with that same "f" sound at the beginning... yikes.

A few others -

Tyrus has always called macaroni "mackerhonies"... :giggle: Now I say it that way intentionally. :)

He also called the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles "Turtle Engines" for the longest time. The other day I said something about Turtle Engines, and he said "NO, mom! It's Ninja Turtles!" :lol:

Wonder pets = wapets
Yes = sais
I know there are others but I can't think of them!! :scratch:

I was really sad when Eliot stopped calling... Spiderman=piderman, animal=aminal, McDonalds=o'donalds & piano=penano :(

Mary! Tyrus still calls animals "aminals." I forgot about that one! :giggle:

Hee, hee :giggle:

I remembered another one Eliot used to say... hospital = hospable :dunno: :giggle:

Karly, Gavin says "truck" with an 'f' at the beginning, too. :giggle:

And macaroni is "wah-uh-winnie." :lol:

Well, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who has a two year old with a filthy mouth! :giggle:

Catherine says sandwich as "dammit"

One day she was pointing at the seat of a chair and saying "ass" - still not sure what she was trying to say besides maybe the obvious.
