So adorable. I'm an ESL teacher, and one of my favorite mispronunciations of all time was for "bless you." I sneezed once, and my student responded by saying, "A-choo." :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-favorite-mispronunciation#post-2066628 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 13:54:48 +0000 travellingbee 2066628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 23 months and says kind-apple for pineapple, and hone for home.
