When your kids just can’t find the words…

I think one of my favorite things when my kids were first learning to talk were all the mispronounced words that came out of their mouths. Some were hilarious and totally inappropriate (not on purpose of course.) Others were just completely adorable!!!!

My daughter would say “Mom, I need shit and bitches.” At first I was completely taken off guard. She was my first child, and I didn’t know where she had heard those terms, or why she would repeat them. I was unsure how to respond and react. So, after a couple of moments of being dumb-founded, I just said, “Show me baby.” She walked and stumbled to her dresser and pointed. My child was asking for a SHIRT and BRITCHES. She simply wanted to change. After getting to the bottom of that, it was hilarious and imperative that I immediately stop calling pants “britches” and work with her on the pronunciation of shirt. LOL!

For my daughter, a pop tart was a “Jelly Parp.” However, with my son, he couldn’t say “marshmallow” so those were called “Mishellellows.” Hippopotamus was a “Hippopomanus” and Walrus was “Rawlrus.”

Kids are the best. They make you laugh without meaning to, even on the bad days, when you don’t think anything could cheer you up. I would love to hear some of your funny pronunciation stories that your kids have! Please share them below in the comment section!!
