    "Bock-a-bolk" for chocolate milk....

    My 3 year old seems to put a "w" on most words. Like this morning he said he was walking like a "wobster" (lobster) and calls my mother "wammy" (grammy). I love it!
  • spaghetti........"basketti"

    pasketti

    Me:
    yucktoliptis for eucalyptus
    helloclopter for helicopter
    skasketi for spaghetti
    scan franskisco for san francisco

    My daughter:
    I have no idea why, but she went through a phase where she put a "ba" sound in front of everything: She wanted to go to the ba-zoo, or play with the ba-tar (guitar). She also would put words together and make her own. My favorite was "know-a-lize" which was her combination of "know" and "realise"..."I didn't know-a-lize that cartoon was on"

    Pretty much every word! Was in speech therapy for years... Lead me to not talk very much to anyone lol. I still have to remember to do my best even to this day with pronouncing words correctly, take things slowly, and not to be overly shy lol.

    Think I have to agree with the "spaghetti" being the cutest one lol.
  • Apparently when I was very young, around my second christmas, I fell in love with the song that starts "Jolly Old St. Nicholas, lean your ear this way......".....however, apparently I was not able to pronounce it correctly. I kept telling my mom to play "Charlie Oats" on the record player. She could not figure out what I wanted for ages.....finally one day she put that christmas song on, adn i started jumping up and down clapping and hollering "Charlie Oats",,,,,

    To the day she died, she called Santa Clause "Charlie Oats"......

    'Hearse.' I would call it '*kitten*'. Thank goodness there weren't too many deaths in my family when I was a kid.

    My son used to say:
    'Cinemax' for 'cinema' and
    'forget' for 'baguette'
  • Toast. I had a bit of a lisp so it used to come out "toatht"

    I also said "packpack" instead of backpack.

    Quote from one of the earlier posters, sorry just deleted the "quote" details by mistake!

    I Think that word could actually catch on, going to start using it! :smile:

    My mom had me young and talked to me all the time when she was home with me, so I spoke early and clearly...much to their dismay, because I also had no filter. But my grandson has some great ones that make so much sense. And for the life of me I can only remember one at the moment.

    He says Lasterday. As in lasterday was the day before today. Makes sense to him because the night before this one was last night.

    And handcops. The things the police put on your wrists before putting you in the police car.

    I used to call myself a "grill" rather than "girl".

    My son pronounced "hospital" as "hossipal" and "helicopter" as heckilopter".
