Kids say the darndest things, as we all know – they even made a tv show about it. Here is a list of some of the cute mispronounciations my kids have made and their ages when they said them.
“ah-cro-poose” said by Sammie, age 3. Translation: octopus
“Taylor lelled at me” said by Sammie, age 4. Translation: lelled = yelled
“Beeber” said by Disney, age 2. Translation: Christopher (her baby brother). This has actually led to Christopher having nicknames of Beeber and Beebs.
“Kipper” said by Disney, age 2. Translation: Christopher. She moved out of the Beeber phase and now calls him Kipper.
“may-sa-peer” said by Sammie, age 3. Translation: disappear
“tormado” said by Sammie, age 4. Translation: tornado. Look closely at how I typed the word – she replaces the “n” with an “m” sound.
“ith ith” said by Taylor, age 1. Translation: kitty.
“diaper call off!” said by Disney, age 2. Translation: Help! My diaper is falling off!
“gggg” said by Christopher, age 5 months. Translation: various. I just wanted to put his sounds in this list too.
Bill Cosby, wasn’t it? Host of Kids Say…?
yes, and Art Linkletter before Cosby, In the old reruns with Linkletter, you can see him mouthing the words that the kids are supposed to say. Kids Memorize The Darndest Things?
