My DS loves 'Power Angels'

We sing 'Daisy, Daisy' at bedtime and he thinks one of the lines goes 'I can't afford a garage'

And 'I didn't hit you Mummy, it was just hard smoothing'

He used to say 'cuter' for computer and once told his nana that when she fell asleep she looked like a 'Ginch' (the Grinch) luckily she had no idea what he meant.

My gran used to come out with some crackers, often tv-related:

Hi-O-Five = Hawaii 5-0
Mortis Regis = Rigor Mortis
Ooh La Ooh La = 'Allo 'Allo

Not a mispronunciation - but getting out of the car today and seeing the neighbour's cat, DD1 (3yo) announced, "Let's get out and see my pussy."

my little miss (2.4) says everyday when we get her coat on "Tetoaton" i dont know if i usually say this fast to her but shes certainly made it her own!
and also, on the way to nursery, dd loves to tell people "am goin to ruff-ree" so many things she says and people just look at me and smile... "what did she say?"
bless, love them though!
