Words you Butchered as a kid?

I was raised in the French language so for me, instead of saying oui (yes) I would say i (e), I would also call a vache (cow) yash

The one I hear the story for the most is 'valinna' for vanilla. Before my grandpa died, we'd go to dinner with him and my grandma every other Sunday (when we weren't at Dad's). It was usually at Bob Evans or Richards with occasional local restaurants thrown in. For dessert, I'd either have pumpkin or sugar cream pie (just like Papa) or vanilla ice cream. I'd insist on telling the waitress myself what I wanted, sitting up straight and proudly asking for my valinna ice cream.

Cinnamon = "Cin-mon-in"

I also had a speech impediment with Rs, so Refrigerator became "Wefwidgawato".

I can't quite remember mine, but here are a few from my nephew (who is now 10, but we still tease him about these):
Bre-fix = Breakfast
Bagrilla = Gorilla
Bee-lax daaahling, bee-laaaax = "Relax darling, relax!"
Hah-wash = Carwash (when singing the song)
A b c d e f g, haychi k k emelimo p = a b c d e f g, h i j k l m n o p
Hauntie = Auntie

He had a lot of great ones... as I remember them I'll post again lol

I had good pronunciation when I was little. But my dad, being 18 when I was learning to talk, decided to mess me up on purpose. So he taught me that a remote control was called a kitty-cat which I called it for FOREVER. and then every time someone picked up a knife they told me not to touch it because it was sharp, so I honestly thought a knife was called a sharp for years.

My youngest: youngin' = onion
spaghetti= pasketti

My oldest: Pepsi Cola = Pepi Tola
Ice cream = icky

My Papa raised me with hunting dogs I would throw a towel and scream "da' beered!!!!" Instead of dead bird.
And I proudly sang at the top of lungs "You picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel (Lucille)" along with "you dropped the farm (bomb) on me, baby!"

My kids have some good ones
The 4 year old: instead of "It's annoying me" he says "It's anoring me"
The 6 year old quotes CARS 2 wrong daily: "don't get your engines in a twist" is quoted as "don't give providence a twist"
The 9 year old: instead of "vacuum" pronounces it Vak-Koom
The girl says: Hot Choco instead of hot cocoa
The 10 year old: Suposably for Supposedly
The 15 year old: Coincidence is pronounced Coin-in-side-dents by him unless he says the word really slowly.

My sister when we were little said "Hang-Ga-Ber" instead of Hamburger
And my brother said "lackin-like" instead of acting like

I had an advanced reading level when I was younger, so I would see a word I hadn't heard in everyday life and figure out what it meant from context but not know how to pronounce it.

I was 6 or 7 and my mother was driving all of us in the back seat. "Oh, mommy, it's like your a choffer!"

"A what?"

"A choffer! You know, a person who drives limos and stuff."

She started laughing so hard when she realized I meant chauffeur!

spaghetti........"basketti"

pasketti

hehehe...me too! :laugh:

Freaks! Everyone knows it SKA-betty. :grumble: I evolved to call them slides since I only ate spaghetti by sucking up each noodle like a straw.

My mom called apples happles.

Hospital-hostipal
Umbrella-Umbiella
