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.0 -

Milk = Melk

And I still say it that way....unfortunately for me, no one corrected it until my roommate in college.....at that point it was beyond repair0 -
Most of the words I said wrong as a kid were because my mom says them wrong!! My mom was raised by two French as first language people, so I'm going to say that is why, but she says the following
Saturday = Sarah-day
Vegetables = Veggables
Wal-Mart - Wal- Mark
Pillow = Pellow (Milk = Melk, along the same lines)
Breakfast = Breff-us
Across - Acrost
I think there are probably 100 more but I can't think of them off the top of my head.
Some other I said were the common bisketti, li-berry, chim-ley.
For a very long time, I thought the word chaos was pronounced "Chalk-ose" I don't know why!0 -
