Kids and Mispronunciations

[e.j.]

I have a friend who's child is named "Fox". Well his sibling couldn't pronounce it right and would chant through the grocery store "Mom Fox Dad! Dad Fox Mom!" over and over over :: The dad thought it was hysterical, mom was mortified

I just came back to add another of my kid's funny name for things but saw the above post. That's sofunny! It reminded me that when my son was little, he would often ask a question instead of stating a fact so instead of saying, "I want a cookie.", he'd say, "Do you want a cookie?" In the middle of a busy store aisle one day, he passed some gas, looked up at me and excitedly yelled, "Did you pass gas?!" The woman standing next to me started giggling as she very quickly walked away. Embarrassing at the time but so much better than Mom Fox Dad!::

Anyway... one of my kids came in wearing a long sleeve shirt and when the weather turned out much warmer than expected, she asked me if I had an "up sleeve shirt" to change her in to instead. Until today, I had forgotten that she calls short sleeve shirts "up sleeves" and long sleeve shirts "down sleeves".

One of my daughter's is almost 21 now...but for some reason, as a toddler, she would mean to say "You're welcome" but would say "Well Cromma!"

I was fascinated by shoes when I was little and couldn't wait until I was old enough to wear "hee-hile" (high heel)shoes.

As a kid, I always said "another one fidge" whenever we were coming up to a bridge. ::
