One of the coolest things my husband and I love about parenting is trying to decipher what exactly our children are trying to say. Now, that Jake is getting older, the words he mispronounces are few and far between. We don’t correct him because, frankly, it’s so darn cute. We can’t wait for James to start talking! At this stage, he pretty much just does what we call ewok talk with all the hand gestures…
Some Jakeisms past and present:
Gnore – ignore
Appropriated – appropriate
Zwebra – zebra
Vernoxious – obnoxious
Eyebrowns – eyebrows
Gertar – guitar
Butatoes – potatoes
Burr Rita Ro – burrito
Tessert – dessert
Loomey toons – looney tunes
Dekettles – decals
Burritro – burrito
Bernana – banana
Yogret – yogurt
What words do your children say that aren’t exactly correct?
Here’s a couple to share…
When my son was 4 we asked him if he liked swimming, his reply…”Yeah, I like women”
and
When my daughter was 3 or 4 she was eating a bowl of rice krispies (you know the snap, crackle and pop cereal)…but instead, she said…”Mom, they’re crapping in my bowl”.
Kids do say the darndest things…gotta love them:)
Funny…and strange…Jenna nearly never mispronounces anything! But, there is ONE word she consistently mispronounces and I hope she always does, because it is so cute:
BREF-TIX (breakfast).
Macaroni pizza – pepperoni pizza
There are too many to list but my favorites are that Alyssa would say ‘ken-kel’ for Kendall, we were all very sad when she started pronouncing it correctly. She also loves carrying around sticks but sticks comes out ‘dicks’ so when she proudly displayed her ‘big dick’ to her auntie Liz we were all cracking up and Liz was mortified, not realizing she was talking about a stick.
Now, that’s funny!!!
