Things you allow your children to say incorrectly because it is just too damn cute...

[schneebly]

DS2 says "Mummy my heart is beeping"

Mamo for Dumbo (DS's big, cuddly Dumbo toy)

DD says mflingo for flamingo,psgetti for spaghetti and facicle wipes for face wipes She will be 12 this year!

My ds(7) used to say and still says things wrong all the time:

Shopping in Morrisons = Shopping at Marge Simpsons
Let's go!! used to be ago!!
and recently the Nintendo game Tetris was called testis.
I could go on for ever. Even had his ears checked thinking he didn't hear things properly, but they were OK.
Both dc's are bilingual, so of course mixing in both languages happens all the time.

Next door's little girl (where we used to live) couldn't pronounce ds1's name, so Christopher became Pig. She used to love my boys (naturally [smug mummy emoticon]) and would climb up the fence and call to them, "Booyyyys, ohhh booooyyyys!!"

mindee age 2.5 -
Fockin hound = fox and the hound
Helicockter = helicopter
Buzzle bees = bubble bees
coffeetea = hot drink
apjuice = any juice

we've had....

clocklate = chocolate
bru = bruise
motor = remote control
cupubumber= cucumber
bungalows = dungarees
i did a blessooo = i have just sneezed
night-time glasses = wine glasses

farmer chrismuss = father christmas
bethlolohem = bethlehem
little ol' jesus = little lord jesus

...having entered the water, upon discovering that i'd not blown up her armbands enough, "Mummy! I'm shrinking!!"

....quite a long list - but then i've just discovered dd1 has had a significant hearing loss - probably for some time too - so perhaps that explains it!

We still talk about "emote-control' cars!

Mocorbike for motorbike and Hotterbottle for hot water bottle which makes me smile.

nactually instead of actually

my instead of I or i'm

tunnos instead of tomatoes

Love them and will one day miss them!

at Donalds for McDonalds - 'le'ts go to at Donalds!'

bibon for bib - works fine with 'put a bibon' but sometimes becomes 'I've got a bibon on!'

bedgetubbles - vegetables

pizzy man (he who delivers the pizzy)

Cock for clock (fair enough)
Want cock! for want chocolate (not good)
Snook for snooker (very cute - DS1 is obsessed by snooker on the telly)
I used to ask for cuggles for cuddles. Remember doing it too

Umm-bella.

Dink

Dooce (juice)

O-ange (orange)

ds used to ask for Chicken bum-sticks for supper.......!

ds1 called elbows - armbows
I think that makes much more sense!

Sticky Mouse - (the Disney mascot)

Great thread! It's ACE what kids come out with.

My DD1 (now nearly 8 used to say)

Eyebrose - Eyebrows

MarshMELLOWS (still says)

Gunk Gunk - Chocolate

And my friends wee girl used to say;

Turtletoise - Tortoise/Turtle Which I LOVE!

LabraDOG - Labrador

Also, I used to be, Memmee and DH was Dadoo!

my boy, 2yr twin, goes in for this colourful language stuff:

muki is music
cagga-boo is cucumber
owdebba is aeroplane
uppick and ippuck are hiccups
tee-to is teapot
helly-duopter is helicopter
bikey-ba is bicycle
my-nama is banana
pillaba is caterpillar
oll-lee-lee is holiday (my fave!)

and polly-ibby-obadon is polly put the kettle on...

I LOVE all this and find it really hard to correct him!

and...

guppies for crumpets
balla for umbrella
peggin for penguin
lippa for slippers

in fact, I spend a lot of time translating for him, but HV said he doesn't need a hearing test...

Apricorns for apricots (and yellows for oranges, but that's not a mispronounciation, just sweet).

My ds used to say pin-pin for penguin. There is a penguin shaped bin in the park and every time we went past he would shout "pin-pin bin" It used to make me laugh every time. He was obsessed with that bin.

DS used to be unable to say his v's, so in his Postman Pat impression he always had a 'special delibbery'

Apple juice was pronounced 'happy juice' which is the termwe now use for diluted fruit juice.

Lello for yellow, and th for s-sounds. Was very impressed yesterday-v undoggy household-we know nothing about dogs/dog species, but dd wants a poodle, so knows what poodles are. Her friend has just got a labradoodle, and dd calls it a poodleador-how she knows it is crossed with a labrador I don't know, but I still grinned!

DS1, now 10, loved 'bimangas' (bananas) and his 'brekmast' of Weetabix and playing with the 'femote rontrol' for the TV. He used to say 'Doog morngin' instead of 'Good morning'. My parents still talk about 'bimangas'.
