Funny Pronunciations and Kids

[Dakota Rose]

What words does your kid pronounce differently?

My DS4 says:

chechpup for ketchup
gotfor for forgot
hostiple for hospital
lemalade for lemonade

[crazypoohbear]

Mine are old now but they use to say
Hopitu - hospital
booze cruise - blues clues

[lovewalt]

My DD calls Ravioli...... "okey dokeys"

[tinkwest]

.... booze cruise - blues clues

I think this is my favorite!

Both of my kids said cal-a-pitter (caterpillar) and flutterby (butterfly).

My son liked hoe-doppers (helicopters) and wo-wos (elephants).

My daughter liked singing and one of my favorite lines was when she was singing "Deck the Halls". When she got to the second verse which says ...
See the blazing Yule before us,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Strike the harp and join the chorus.
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
She would sing "Stripe the heart and join the forest".

[crazypoohbear]

I think this is my favorite!

:

It was mine too... especially when we were out and he would start yelling.
"I want a booze cruise, I want a booze cruise!"
I would say "so do I,but how do you know about them!"

My nephew- almost 27, would call broccoli
brocco trees

My favorite of Conor's was:

Wizard Kaboz - Wizard of Oz

And, when he was 4, he came up holding a game and said "Can we play Mono Polly?" He had just started to read so we were pretty impressed that he had gotten Mono Polly from Monopoly!!!

[disney obsessed]

Carly called julie Dooley and julie called snow white and the seven dwarfs, snow white and the seven dorks.

[disney obsessed]

Tory called grapes pulls - because you pulled them off the stem.

[pdrlkr]

My DD used to say
plape - plate

[Princess'Mom]

Thank you to all for the smiles! I, too, love to hear a child's interpretation of a word.

My DD used to say:

Cashcan = trashcan

Yo's = Lowe's

Yeg = leg

Baycation = vacation

Baycation trees = Florida Palmtrees (she saw her first Baycation tree on her way to WDW!)

[IloveDisney71]

One of my friends little boys used to say,
"I'll be white (instead of right) back."

It was too cute!

When I was little I thought the hymn "It is Well With my Soul" was called: It is well with Pinsol...guess what my mom cleaned the house with? Yep - Pinsol!
Imagine my surprise when I learned how to read the words!

I still smile when that song is sung at church!

[wdwgrl377]

This is a great thread. I used to watch my good friends little girl a lot and she basically lived with us for her early years.

Well, she used to watch me put in my contacts and every morning she'd say, "You puttin' in your tontacs?!" I thought that was so cute b/c she couldn't say contacts!!

[I believe]

Our yongest DD is six and just finished kindergarten. She still uses these sometimes when she is talking too fast, or is sleepy. We should correct her more than we do, but it will be too soon before these are all but a memory...
Caveation=vacation
marote= romote
maz-uh-geen=magazine
paint polish=nail polish
comfortabled=comfortable

She also adds "ed" or "er" to words
"hurted" "gooder" etc.

When she was really little she called Ice cream
"eye-bum"

Now she is into all things Disney Channel and much to our oldest DD's(10) chagrin she calls Demi Levato
Delli Melato

This is such a sweet thread!

[Here we go again...]

I don't know about you, but I never corrected my DD when she said something wrong. It was so darn cute that I wanted her to say those things forever.

Daddy had "whispers", not whiskers
We had "windbloopers" not winshield wipers
She would say "aftersnoon"... we never really figured out if she meant yesterday or afternoon... it always seemed to work out.

One of our favorites...
When my oldest DD got married, Taylor said that they were going on their "honey bun" (honeymoon).

[MickeyandTink]

When DD was about 2 or 3, she wanted to watch a "bud light" instead of "Bug's Life".

DS (now 2) says "thankum" instead of "thank you" and calls his sister "Rocky" instead of "Roxy"
