Hilarious — all of these!
My older son still calls a calculator a “countulater”. He’ also had trouble until about a year ago with “th” saying things like “troof” instead of truth, or “fumb” instead of “thumb”
A few year’s ago while my mother was visiting we were preparing to go to our favourite local restaurant, Frank and Gino’s. My younger son asked if we were going to “Freakin’ Gino’s” for supper. My mother now asks that every time she visits.
The same son will ask on occassion for a “knuckle sandwich” for lunch. I have no idea how grilled cheese became a knuckle sandwich.
When I was four and my younger sister was two, I asked my mother if I had a forehead, did Janice have a two-head?
A friend of mine had a baby brother a few weeks before my sister was born when I was two. The first time I saw her I said “hello, Jeremy”. Once I got it straightened out, I called her “Zani” instead of Jani.
When our younger sister, Rebecca, was born, Janice, not quite three, looked in through the nursery window and the hospital and said “Oh — look at all the little “Kabecca’s”. She used to call me “Sassey” instead of Tracey. Somehow these stuck because my mom will still call us by these names.
