So whipped cream, sour cream, diaper cream, and even lotion are all ice cream. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/words-your-lo-mispronounces-1/page/2#post-2648383 Sat, 05 Nov 2016 05:48:01 +0000 Miss Ariel 2648383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Da-doo for thank you. Uppy-down for upside down. open-in it for open it.</p> <p>She also will say food fight, but dh and I have yet to figure out what that actually means. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/words-your-lo-mispronounces-1/page/2#post-2648378 Sat, 05 Nov 2016 03:08:48 +0000 My Only Sunshine 2648378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"Hapaka" for popsicle.</p> <p>My parents STILL refer to yellow flowers as "lello fowloos" because of my childhood mispronunciation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/words-your-lo-mispronounces-1/page/2#post-2648359 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 22:38:57 +0000 808love 2648359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO still calls the computer screen a "scream"....hilarious! :) Of course, I can't laugh to her face and I've told her it's screen but what can you do? :) :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/words-your-lo-mispronounces-1/page/2#post-2648358 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 22:38:16 +0000 Foodnerd81 2648358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh I thought of my favorite one- for some reason she started calling her cardigan a "party cake". Like she started crying because she forgot her party cake the other day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/words-your-lo-mispronounces-1/page/2#post-2648318 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 20:15:05 +0000 petitenoisette 2648318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: those are so cute, made me lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/words-your-lo-mispronounces-1/page/2#post-2648316 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 20:13:27 +0000 petitenoisette 2648316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel the same way! My daughter calls Elmo Melmo and both my DH and I use the same term bc we don't want her to start saying his name correctly. It is so sweet :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/words-your-lo-mispronounces-1#post-2648303 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 19:48:08 +0000 mfa_lady 2648303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Keekyboo for Peekaboo!

But it sounds a lot like "momma, shit!" (sorry buddy, I can't do that on command :silly: )<br /> He used to call Elmo "Momo" - it was adorable and I was so sad when he started pronouncing it correctly. Sometimes I still call him Momo just for fun.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/words-your-lo-mispronounces-1#post-2648227 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 15:20:25 +0000 ShootingStar 2648227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@psw27: Haha that reminds me - our last name end in "ino" (sounds like ee-no) and DS will tell you his name last name is B*****ino Jalapeño, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/words-your-lo-mispronounces-1#post-2648225 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 15:17:39 +0000 fancyfunction 2648225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CakeLady: Ha - cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/words-your-lo-mispronounces-1#post-2648215 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 14:58:51 +0000 psw27 2648215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha. I love these! </p> <p>We are trying to teach him my name (in case he ever needed to tell a grown up) and he calls me Sesame instead of Stephanie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/words-your-lo-mispronounces-1#post-2648194 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 14:24:05 +0000 CakeLady 2648194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fancyfunction: DS does the opposite, swirl is squirrel. He has also started to make up silly versions of words. He calls me Mommiya and he calls our dog Lucy Lulia. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/words-your-lo-mispronounces-1#post-2648141 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 13:12:35 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2648141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our dog's name is Butters.

LOVE IT! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/words-your-lo-mispronounces-1#post-2648078 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 11:46:52 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2648078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My favourites are when she's thinking of a word, but gets it mixed up with another word. This morning in the shower she asked me for some 'air conditioning' (hair conditioner). One time, Max was wearing a cardigan and khakis, and I said he looked like Mr. Rogers. And K goes "Yeah, we'll call him Mr. Roger Snaderhood" (Mr. Roger's Neighbourhood...but she thought it was a name). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/words-your-lo-mispronounces-1#post-2648067 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 11:11:19 +0000 gentlelunette 2648067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 19 months, so most of her words are slightly mispronounced, but my favourite is "boo-babies" for blueberries. She used to say applesauce and it sounded exactly like a**hole, but she's recently started saying it properly and I'm so sad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/words-your-lo-mispronounces-1#post-2648041 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 10:37:08 +0000 mediagirl 2648041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's really getting a better grasp on her words now so it's hard to come up with one but my favorite right now is her teacher, Mr. Wesley. She calls him Mr. Weserly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/words-your-lo-mispronounces-1#post-2648035 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 10:22:37 +0000 MrsRoo 2648035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man, I love these threads! </p> <p>DD says bi-draffe for giraffe, and calls lemonade lemoDade. I was so sad the day she stopped calling butterflies fly-flys.<br /> And this isn't a word mispronunciation, but for things in the past she says "far away ago" and I love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/words-your-lo-mispronounces-1#post-2648030 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 10:10:27 +0000 Mrs. Pajamas 2648030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD says "kumpin" for pumpkin and I love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/words-your-lo-mispronounces-1#post-2648022 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 10:01:47 +0000 808love 2648022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bagels are bake-os and she called a volcano a sandcano. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/words-your-lo-mispronounces-1#post-2647985 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 09:23:33 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2647985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aminal.

And she often says potato when she means tomato and vice versa. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/words-your-lo-mispronounces-1#post-2647907 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 07:08:31 +0000 twodoghouse 2647907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: @littlebug: Alice calls it a back-a-pack! </p> <p>I just remembered a couple more favorites. They both say "boobooberries" for blueberries and "strawbabies" for strawberries. </p>
