Funniest mispronouciations

What are some of the funniest mispronounciations your child makes:

My twins say:

Prawns = crawns
Wheat bix = beakwix
Popadoms = crackadam
Garfield= catfield

and my favourite, my son keeps trying to sing the transformers theme (you know, transformers more than meets the eye)

and he sings "transformers forle-eye-eye" ROTF. DH and I have told him how the song goes repeatedly but I still catch him in the garden with his "transformers...forle-eye-eye"

[meg]

Our youngest son puts his clothes on "hoathangers" :lol:

And for a long time, Dr Suess had written a book called "Rat in the Cat" instead of The Cat in the Hat :lol:

:lol:

Angela never can seem to find her "flippers"..We've told her they're flip flops but she still calls his flippers..

She also drinkers "kooler" instead of Kool-aid..

[rotfl]

[mommyto3]

my 6 year old daughter still goes swimming in her bading suit. and she love to go to trarineland ( instead of marine land), and play with her cousin turinda instead of miranda

[stephwhiz]

Autumn calls her toenails her "feet fingernails." She will argue this fact with you too. :lol: Stephanie :D

[kanaclark]

Gabe's cutest was extercise rather than exercise, and right now, Bri is just starting to talk, but his cutest right now are:
instead of Daddy or Da Da, he says Diddy
instead of Gabe, he says Day
instead of Puppy he calls the dog Yuppy

that's about it for us around here

[wcarbone]

My sons said
Toac instead of coat.
b-ya instead of bird
He calls his sandles his slippers


Also we watch the little man jumping on the bed - Not Harry Potter

And whatever you do, do not correct him, because he will argue with you until you want to scream.
[/u]

[Rach]

kitchen=chicken
public library=republic library (too much Star Wars LOL)

[JoyLynn]

Chloe called slippers, PIPPERS. They're now called pippers in our family. :D

Carissa called sharks DISASTERS when she was about 3. I was totally confused until I saw a Scooby show where they were in the water and they see a shark and Shaggy yells, "This is a DISASTER!" :lol:

We used to listen to our DC Talk cd all the time when Courtney was about 3. They have a song where the corus goes, "we've got to be... children of peace..." One day I heard Courtney singing, "we've got to be... children of CHEESE...!"


Joy [welcomewave]

Thats cute, reminded me of another one..Not DC Talk but NewsBoys have a song " Ticker Tape Parade "

Angela sings it " Tipper Cake Charade " and it never fails she'll ask " what kind of a cake is that? The kind that falls over? "

We have tons of words that she heard wrong when she was going deaf but I can't think of them right now..

[Gracie]

DD is 2
Flower = faasie LOL
..I just love the way she pronounces everything....she sings a song where she puts "no" in front of her name and says it over and over ( :lol: :oops: )

[Gracie]

and he sings "transformers forle-eye-eye" ROTF. DH and I have told him how the song goes repeatedly but I still catch him in the garden with his "transformers...forle-eye-eye"

ROFL!!

[love2bmom]

The cutest one that my 2yr old says is his name. His name is Conner but he says, Nonner. It's so cute. [heartbeat]

[ChelleFish]

Ice cream or popsicles are "nee-nee"

[7thHeaven]

Sam calls her toy dolphin a dolpooh! :lol:

ROTF! Kids are sooo funny, you almost don't want to correct them because it's sooo cute.

When a few of you mentioned the DC Talk songs it reminded me of when my mum did family day care and she would play her worship tapes and there was a song that went

"I worship you, yes I worship you, I exalt your holy name"

and one of the daycare kids Michelle, would sing along "I wor shampoo, I wor shampoo" and crack us all up.

[soulmom]

my boys favorites are

sock pickle = popsicle
galoon = lagoon
mazageen = magazine
aroonga! = on gaurd!

most recently, we were flipping channels and caught a little bit of the movie "Hot Chick" with Rob Schneider, and now my son keeps calling him Rob Schnocker! and because we laughed the first time he did it he keeps on doing it. oh, well...

[JoyLynn]

Those are funny, Soulmom! :lol: I like aroonga! I like that word. I may use it myself. :D

I posted on another thread that Chloe says we're gonna be RUPTURED instead of raptured. :lol: That one doesn't paint a pretty picture. :shock:

pooth-taste= toothpast. Easy mistake. :wink:


Joy [welcomewave]

I forgot to add too

Fairy Floss (that's cotton candy) = FLUFFY FLOFF

[Rach]

got another one...

Doodlebops = Doodlepuffs :lol

[mamallama]

Oh! I have tons that my dd used to say! I wrote them down in her baby book. I will look them all up sometime and add them, but my all-time favorite is:

"golly golly" for okey dokey

She used to walk around talking through her pacy. Soooo cute! [baby] :lol:

[mamallama]

I thought of another one!

"Oh My man!" for Oh Man! [rotfl]

[ChelleFish]

We finally have some variety in DVDville...instead of Matthe wanting to watch exclusively Backyardigans (which is simply put as Pablo...) all of the time we now sometimes get to watch

No-No (Finding Nemo) and Geeg (Curious George)

[NZMummy]

The crackadams and fluffy floff really made me laugh Aussie_Mum - they seem so inventive.

It is also really cute when littlies add letters and syllables.

Some of Joshua's current ones are:

Tomomato - tomato
Clolour - colour
Pliglet - Piglet
Spiggagetti - spaghetti

[eew03]

Let's see, Emma (2 1/2yr) says:

Doodlebugs for Doodlebops (easy mistake)
Artigins for Barkyardigans
Tummy button for belly button
Talking Pig for "Charlotte's Web"

Of course I could come up with lots more if I wasn't trying to write them down.

[Donna B.]

My youngest keeps saying "I'm drinky" instead of I'm thirsty"

[cjropher]

[quote="mamatotwo777"]
"Oh My man!" for Oh Man! [/quote

My ds 4 does the exact same thing. Where do they get that from! He used to call a caboose a bagoose. He gets mad when I call them bagooses now! "No Mom, it's a caboose, ca-boose (bc I used to enunciate ca...boose for him, now he does it for me :oops: ).

He still has quite a few but he speaks pretty well. Now he just gets meanings confused. AT the toy store yesterday he asked me if I had any sympathy left for him!!! Not sure why he needed in when I was buying him a toy!

[KansasMom]

The best one that Abi has ever said was "boogerfly" instead of butterfly!

She had just learned what a booger was and got it mixed up with the butterfly!

[eew03]

I thought of a few more...

bubberfly for butterfly

but the best one is...

crocogator--I guess it's a cross between an aligator and a crocodile. This way I guess she's covered since they look so similar.

They used to be flutter by's around here :D

[7thHeaven]

Sam's latest is cracke, when she tries to say craker! :lol:

i bet that ones fun to explain in public :lol:

[mom2pbj]

At dinner the other night we were having lasagna and my 5 yo Paige turns to me and says mommy "is this baganga?" sounded just like vagina but with a b on the front, dh and were trying so hard not to laugh. I just hope she doesn't say that out in public.

[~Tara~]

Oh these are so fun, I love it. But of course, I can't recall anything Argh!

I can think of my 5 yr olds most recent... he was eating the last few 'nipples' of food (nibbles) His brothers (7 and 9) nearly busted a gut laughing at that one.

Now, my 2 yr old, she has some doozies...I just can't remember anything but "chockie" for chocolate
Teef for teeth
She just got over saying "wanee" for water
Crike-a-dull for crocodile


Surely I can post more later this week. The girl never stops talking and though I can understand 95% of what she says quite clearly...there's that tricky 5% that makes for funnies :)

[harmony5]

My dd was funny when she was younger. She called BoJangles, which is a restaraunt here in the south, JoBangles. She called elephants, efalants. (We still call them efalants to this day :lol: . Even extended family!) And she referred to herself as Corney, instead of Courtney, for quiet some time.

My ds has kept me laughing for 10 years. He doesn't pronounce his "r's" right. He is a lot better than before, but I have to put this story in here. My sister and I were having a conversation while I was pregnant with Preston. We were talking about the baby getting calcium while in the womb. My dd asked us what a womb was. Ds pipes up and says--"duh! You don't know what a room is?? You know, like a living room, bed room, bath room." Just as serious as the day is long. I thought we were all going to die laughing!! He also called pretzels, pentzils up until maybe a year or so ago. :lol: :lol: He's crazy!

Preston is only 20 months old and so far has pronounced his words like they are supposed to be pronounced. Not that he knows the whole dictionary or anything, but what he does know, he says right. The only thing he does is drag some of his words out. Like a car is a caaaarrrrr and a tree is a treeeeee.

I love it when they are learning to talk!!!

Lori

PS--I know I have told the womb story on here before, but I couldn't resist again. Sorry for those of you who had to endure it twice!! :lol: :wink:

[luvmy4sons]

They don't have to be real young either. Just yesterday my 10 year old told me that he didn't like a song on the radio because it said boobs. I told him he had that wrong and we listened closely to the song and the words were: ' May my love give you roots that you may find your wings..." He thought it was saying 'May my love give you boobs.." No wonder he didn't like the song! LOL! :lol:

[~Tara~]

hehe we have prentzils ;)
my eldest used to say his favorite food was "peanter butter and apple jejy samner"

[7thHeaven]

The lastest with Sam is Tea-ger when she is trying to say Tigger! She has a slight obsession with Tigger these days! :D

[mamallama]

"peanter butter and apple jejy samner"

Aww! Too sweet! [angelsilver]

[kanaclark]

we were telling Bri he wasn't a Billy Goat b/c he was trying to eat paper and made me think of Gabe's ol' Gilly Boat when he was little.

[mamallama]

Another cute one Gracie says = "tanked chew" for Thank You. :wink:

[jengrant]

Grant say "peas" for please, "Ba" bird and the most embarrasing one in public, For kitty he uses a T in place of the K. :oops: It doesn't take much to embarrass me.

[mommyto3]

my 6 years old says that catapitters change into racoon and then busserflies

[mamallama]

my 6 years old says that catapitters change into racoon and then busserflies

Aww! Too sweet! :D

The latest one around here is DD wants a RULER HOOT for Christmas (by her actions I have worked out she actually wants a HULA HOOP).

ROTF ROTF

[Ashlee]

HAHAHA! Those crack me up!

Just the other day my 3 year old was begging dh for a "boo boo ring". We could not figure out what she was talking about, but she wanted it really bad so she was pleading with us and getting quite upset that we didn't understand her. When we asked her to explain what it does we figured out she was talking about the boomerang she got for her birthday. We had put it up because she was throwing it in the house. That was just soo funny though, boo boo ring, lol!

[mamaroo]

My 3yo dd calls her swimsuit a suitcase! Umbumbrella for umbrella ofcourse. And her newest lingo is potato for playdough! I can usually figure out what she's talking about, because I mixed up my word the same way for years!

[gen]

When mine were little they called thunder 'BumFunder'
and one day Sophie started saying 'Bumsink' to us and we couldnt figure out what she was saying until we remembered that she must have heard her grandad telling us a story of how as a security guard he told a man to go and have a wash because his bum stinks (he's jamaican, if that means anything). So she started calling us a BumSink, meaning our bum stinks.

And I just remembered... just this morning Josh was looking at a picture of a scorpion on the wall. He goes 'Is that a Squerpian?' Julie goes 'NOOO, its a Squorpian!!' She is miss bossyboots knowitall. And I have never corrected Josh when he called a Polar Bear a Poly Bear because it is just so cute.

[Jackay]

Benjamin used to call cheese puffs..."cheese pups"

He would call his brother, Andrew.."Andoo"

He just calls the show the Backyardigans..."ooo let's watch Backyard!"

The hospital is the "hos-eh-pit-all"

I'm sure there is more..LOL

[JoyLynn]

Please was peace

Thank you was tee-too

Toothpaste was pooth-taste

Pee was peep

Banana was blana

Blankie is still sossy

Passie was boppie

Button was bu-umm

Chicken Devan is still Chicken in the van

[heart]


Joy [welcomewave]

[mamallama]

Gracie love, love, loooooves the movie "Milo and Otis". She calls it "My Little Otis". :lol: Welp, I had another one but it just totally left me....ugh.

For some reason when I was little I called carrots "morgans" to this day my parents still call carrots Morgans LOL LOL. I think it was because Mum and Dad had a friend with the sirname Morgan and I didn't like him.

[Timmys mom]

When we went down to Tennessee right before Timmy was two, my hubby took Timmy outside on the porch to watch the rain. Then when there was thunder he asked if Timmy could say thunder. Timmy said F*cker. My husband of course thought this was halarious and brought Timmy around to everyone and told him to say thunder. Then he got to uncle Bill and said, call uncle Bill a thunder. lol. Luckily that only lasted a week or so then he would say funder. Which was much better!

[7thHeaven]

LOL! That is too funny about Timmy and the thunder!! Sounds like something my DH would do with Sam!! :lol:

Sam's latest is calling her blocks... balockers! LOL I can't help but to laugh when she says it! :lol:

[jen1981]

Here's a few of ours.
Hamburgers= hangummers
spaghetti= gaspetti
ice cream= arcream
I was wearing a jumper one day when myson was 2 and when I got him up in the morning, he said, " Mommy, I love your grasshopper!" :lol:

[mumof2boyz]

Blake loves to sing but a certain amount of pride shines through:

Great is Thy Faithfulness=Great is MY Faithfulness

and the song that goes... "He is our God, the great I am" he sings: "he is our God, how great I am"

LOL

[mumof2boyz]

He also says "burger" for booger (i've got a burger in my nose) and going #2 in the potty is "going brown". Once he discovered the color when I started potty training him, it changed from "going stinky" to "going brown". :lol: [/u]

DS was playing on his skateboard and he said to DH watch me... I am going to do a GOLLY LOL LOL.

For those of you who don't know skateboard-speak, he meant to say OLLY.

[mumof2boyz]

"understorm" for thunderstorm

[mommyto3]

my 3 1/2 yo son, jakob calls smarties snotties.

[Ashlee]

I had forgotten about this until just now.. I don't really think it was funny, more shocking, but anyway.. my 3 year when she was younger would pronounce sm as f for some reason.. like smile would be file. well one day she repeated me talikng about smuckers peanut butter. :shock: I tried to ignore it so she wouldn't think anything of it.

[meg]

Just yesterday, ds was getting changed out of his school uniform, and told me he had no other pants to put on. I told him there must be some in his drawer. He said "I've got 2 pairs of boogies, can I wear those?" I tried to keep a straight face while asking "What are boogies?" "You know, the shorts I wear swimming." "Ohhhh, you mean boardies?" "Yeah, those."

Gettting his board shorts (boardies) muddled up with a boogie board I guess :lol:

When our eldest was about 2 1/2, he came running into the room one day, all in a flap, yelling (what I thought) "Jesus is coming, Jesus is coming" :shock:

Finally worked out there had been an add on the TV, where a huge cheese ball is rolling down a hill towards people, and he was telling me "Cheeses is coming" :lol:

[Timmys mom]

lol Meg that halarious! I'm sure you were probably wondering if your son was prophetic! lol

[mumof2boyz]

I always crack up when I hear ds say "kinda like've" instead of "kind of like" :)

[Beth]

Ash says whesquse me for excuse me.

[meg]

Timmysmom, my jaw practically hit the floor :lol:

[NZMummy]

My 2 year olds current response to getting a fright is to come running to me saying "I'm really scary!".

[jengrant]

Just had to add this, a couple of weeks ago ds was being silly, so I called him a silly goose, he thought this was hilarious, but instead of silly goose, he calls himself funny goose! When he does something he thinks is funny he will go "I'm a funny goose", but of course since he's not 2 yet it isn't quite that clear it sounds like he's saying " I'm fondue"
