What's the best thing your dc mispronounces?

[MoosMa]

My current favourite is DD1's attempt at octopus..... dottypoosh

Not really a mispronounce but daughter likes to tell the story of Handsome and Gretel

DD1: Recent supply teacher was Canadanadian.

She used to say Matmos (tomatos) as in "No Matmos mummy." Do any kids like those?

DD2: Diveos are the movie discs we can watch on our tv.

Diveos is brilliant - you should get that copyrighted!

ds currently says " bowsh" for 'mouse' (also involves very endearing, pouty-yet-earnest face) and he say a ballon at the weekend and shouted " Bab-boooon!"

Snow Wipe & the 7 warps. [ds is 2 & half]

DS1 used to say "Fat Cnt for fat controller. We used to get some looks, I tell you

And he says "ateacock" for apricots

DS (3yrs) calls his pterodactyl "pteronactyl".

He really likes the Little Princess books and we have been reading "I don't want to go to hospital" and he is infuriated that he can't say "hospital". It's so funny to hear as he tries lots of different ways but just can't get it. I think it's a tough word though, I remember having trouble with it as a child.

DS calls DH Kisth. Can't pronounce much at all rwally - luckily we know what he is saying because he has a terrible pronounced lisp - don't mind DH has a slight one and I find it quite attractive in a weird sort of way - detrats from his otherwise perfection - ha ha!

I've just thought of another that's just lovely. Afriend of a friend's ds decided that his mum's friend Lorraine was called 'rainlady'

When a Lithuanian boy joined DS's nursery Ds went round for days telling everyone that he had a new friend who was a Little Manian.

Dd, 2yrs, pulled up her t-shirt this morning and pointed to her 'nippops' (nipples). JIll

DS2 says frain frack instead of train track. He doesn't usually have trouble with his Ts.

Younger DD asks for milk like a little kitten.
Mee-ilk

My dd1 used to call curtains c*nts

We were playing a game where I had to point at things (fire, telly etc) & she'd tell me what they were. Funnily enough I took to skipping past the window.

Dnephew used to miss out the 'l' in clock.

DS1 always used to look forward to a visit from Farmer Christmas. And the Nativity was all about baby Cheesus.

LMAO at some of these - great thread!

DS 2.9 says DVDV for DVD, F**ken Troller for Fat Controller (try telling that to Nana...), great beans for baked beans, and roley poley for ravioli.

best one I remember was my sister when she was very young reading a notice in a lift which she read as "any one caught willfully damaging this lift will be prostituted" instead of prosecuted

Caterpillar used to be 'tee-pee-peeyar'

Don't know if this one's been done, but youngest calls his bellybutton - his babybutton. much more appropriate actually!!!

Our family have an unerring habit of taking on board 'mis'pronuciations so tht they become the 'normal' way.

I had a friend who apparently called binoculars oscar-knockers.....

When DS had chickenpox, he thought that each spot was a "chickypop" and that therefore he had chickypops.

'mowk' for milk
'chizz' for cheese
'oddies' for eggs
'deek' for snake (?!??)

'cot-wee'
'cock-berry'
we have not worked out what these are yet?!!
