Kids and Mispronunciations

[Pestle]

My actual nickname starts with a "Wee" sound. One of my kids calls me Weewee.

[MsHannah]

Oh golly, I have to pick one? I don't think that's possible :P

My name is one of the best.
Name: Ms Irene
Child's variations: Reem, Rireem, Bibean, and Reenttttttttt (he had a backwards stutter :P)

One little boy (2yrs)said the "F" word often, and we just couldn't figure out what he was actually trying to say, later to find out it was frog :P

Bapreez -Batteries (we still call them that and the kid hasn't been with us in 3+ years!)
Pooker- Cooper (another child)
Grbean- Green
Poke-a-honk-us- Pocahontas - Ok, I think that one is my favorite

Are you sure you aren't my old cooperating teacher!? Lol one of the children at her in-home daycare referred to another child, Cooper, as "Pooker." It was so cute!

[Mad_Pistachio]

suddenly remembered once more.
I worked in a family that had a housekeeper, her name is Estelle. the 2-year-old called her Tetel.

[Hunni Bee]

I have one who substitutes /t/ for all /c/, /qu/ and /g/ sounds. Queen and clean are tween, etc.

I eventually will bring it up to Mom but in the meantime she makes me smile every time she talks.

[JackandJill]

I have a little guy who says "froke" instead of broke and "fiedom" instead of spider. His little voice is super cute!!

The best was a few years ago when I couldn't understand why a group of 3 year old boys were all playing "goats"... the boy who came up with the game was mispronouncing ghosts!

[Ariana]

Noey = snow
Chachitz = sausage
Ukikorn = unicorn

So many ::

[LostMyMarbles]

I had a dck who wanted a @ucker....aka ****er
And one who wanted wee wee water...aka kiwi water

[e.j.]

I have a little guy who says "froke" instead of broke and "fiedom" instead of spider.

This reminded me of a dcb I had years ago who called spiders "spatulas" He also called chicken "shicken"

[Unregistered]

Lindo for window. lellow for yellow

[Hunni Bee]

And one more.... one 3.5 year old dcg calls sunscreen "hun screen". I've explained that it's pronounced sunscreen and that it's called that because it protects us from being burned by the sun but she insists it's "hun screen".

My littles last year used to call it "sun cream". I never corrected them, it fits I guess.

[Controlled Chaos]

Working in the garden, my very verbal 2yo DD class tomatoes "ba-may-toes" and I love it

[Meeko]

I have a little who's dad just bought her a "jumpoween" (trampoline)

[adnilwis]

What's the oddest one you've heard?

I have an articulate 3-year-old dcb who started talking at an early age, and has a big vocabulary. But he can't say 'banana'! For whatever reason, he pronounces it 'fabanta'.

FABANTA!

My son is 3 and talks well for his age but cant say some simple words either. He says oatmeal like ertmeal and says music funny too. Last year he couldn't say the sn blend so snow was no, sneeze was neeze and snowman was noman. :-) my daughter is 2 and says fork like ****. We laugh everytime.

[Controlled Chaos]

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
