Language Skills

Through out my youth I remember fun things to do with words:

Beaking Spackwards, switching the first syllable of two words, Cilk and Mookies, Mat and Couse, Deck and Schronkey...

Pig-latin, I've found there are variations, but the way I learn was moving the first syllable to the end of the word and adding an A... or for a one letter word, just say the word with and A.. Ia ovela ouya. (I love you)

Those are examples of purposefully saying things in a silly way. I don't really remember saying a lot of things in funny way unintentionally but here are a few...

I used to call burgers "boogers"
Spaghetti, "Sketti"
And I almost always confused POTATOES with TOMATOES

My husband recalls that he really love Zippy-de-doo-da as a kids and therefore called all movies "DeeDahs"

Recently we have discovered a few of the words that Jonathan says in a strange way.

POXIPULLS (popsicles)

If I have him say 'pop' & 'sickle' separately, he can do it, but not when we say it together...

BIGGERS (Burgers)

PAINGUT butter (peanut butter)

He likes to call his aunt Katies, "Kitty" and her cat Missy, "Messy"

What are some funny things your kids say, or that you said as a kid?
