I've been going though my drafts of blog posts I never finished so here's one I polished up today.
Here's a short list from my memory banks that my kids mispronounced. We still say them around the house sometimes. I am writing this because I don't want these to escape into the ether of memory. So, here ya go.
My oldest daughter called granola bars,"Gorilla Bars"
My oldest daughter called hand sanitizer, "hanaitizer"..which I think is pretty ingenious.
My middle daughter called coyotes, "COY - otes".
My middle daughter told us the toilet was "flooding up" and used that term several times, again, I think it really describes what was happening quite well.
My son called the Ninja Turtles as "Engine Turtles". I think one of the only words he did not pronounce correctly, so we let him mispronounce this longer than we would have usually.
My son started calling Parmesan cheese, "Parmish". I think he could say it but he couldn't remember the word for it...so he got "Parmish"...we think it's perfect.
