what do your kids call....

As in -- mommy please spread some gasoline on my skin?

I enjoy "lasterday" quite a lot! My kids always refer to "the last time" when they're talking about anything that happened previously.

granola bars=loca bar
Dora the Explorer=Dora the Esplorer
honey mustard=ducky
fox=box

Anna loves the little mini Bonbel cheeses that are sealed in red wax. She pronounces cheeses in a way that rhymes with Jesus. When she sees them in the store, she'll whine, "Please, mommy, I need cheeses!"

I need to record her saying it. And then for a while she was asking for white baby cheeses.

Orange=Worsh (if you say worsh it looks the same as orange on your mouth)
Grandma=hamma
Carseat=James chair


All of his favorite books and tv shows are named after his favorite part...

Where the Wild Things Are=Monsters
Hercules=Strong
Incredibles=Superman
Backyardigans=the complete list of characters begining with Pablo
Rainbabies=babies (this is really one of his favorite books right now)

My favorite is when I give him a choice "Do you want cereal or a bagel for breakfast?"
His response is, "bagel or bagel? Hmmm...o.k. bagel." As if that were always the only option.

parking garage = car cave

DD2 has a "front booty" and a "back booty."

kicken=chicken
mommy sticks=pretzel sticks and marshmallows

I know dh is not a kid, but:

For some reason, my son refers to movies or TV shows by his favorite characters in it.

"Monters, INC." is Boo-Sully
"Cars" is Lightning Aqueen
"Fraggle Rock" is Doozers
"Ice Age" is Manny
"Sesame Street" is Melmo
Any Thomas movies are by which train is on the cover


Not sure why, but the only one that doesn't fit this is "Madagascar". For that one, he comes up with Maddycar.

Our middle daughter used to have a speech impediment where she'd confuse the "T" sound with the "C" or "K" sounds. Yeah, kitty cat was a fun one, back then.

My sister and I used to call movies by characters too!

Babes in Toyland was Tom and Mary and the Secret of NIMH was Nicodemus.

on the movies / character names vein ..

The boys call Toy Story 2 "Woody with the Girl". Switch the words around or imagine toddler-speak coming up w/that one, and it can be pretty funny.
