He still uses it at 3 years old and it is so cute to see hear a word he used when he first started talking. </p> <p>He also called escalators "demos" for a while. I had no idea what he was talking about until he finally pointed it out to me. I have no idea why he thought it was called that, but it cracks me up.</p> <p>He also calls cantaloupe "pineapple" for some reason. This has been really confusing because we have been buying both for weeks since there have been great prices and we like them. I always have to double check if he actually wants pineapple or if he means cantaloupe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-mispronunciations/page/2#post-2724740 Sat, 15 Apr 2017 20:14:46 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2724740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, yeah!

I love it so much, our 7 and 5 year olds both say it. For a while the oldest also said "lastnighterday" which is more like it's own word. And our youngest called church "turch" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-mispronunciations#post-2724337 Fri, 14 Apr 2017 10:57:16 +0000 sunnyday 2724337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cu ma bar = cucumber<br /> Girl cheese/boy cheese = grilled cheese </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-mispronunciations#post-2724330 Fri, 14 Apr 2017 10:48:41 +0000 MrsBrewer 2724330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 22 month old is obsessed with moons!!

So he sees a picture of grandma and growls at the top of his lungs "mamaaaaa" :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-mispronunciations#post-2724300 Fri, 14 Apr 2017 09:53:46 +0000 Tanjowen 2724300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"Pinkabutter" for peanut butter.
