Yep, that's how she says it. And Hamgurber.
My niece used to say "scum-screen".
What funny words did your pre-schoolers mix up and say so sweetly? I just love how they talk and I enjoy it, in time she will correct herself, I can't bear to miss these words that bring a smile to my face!
Misquito was Beegeeto.
SS, I thought it was only our son that said hamgurber. It took us a while to master the new language. Our oldest daughter could not pronounce "kite" she would say "tite".
I could not say spaghetti when I was a kid and said it pisghetti.

thanks for starting this thread simple sally.. It makes me smile
Ah, cute kids and odd words - a favorite combination.
My son, when he was very young - two or even younger - produced these treasures: zreeba (zebra), ee-plasket (elastic), moogitz (music). By the age of three, he was using long words like "expensive" correctly and with ease.
The neologisms began when he was about ten and haven't stopped: the only one that stuck is "zappareenies" for general zaniness. As an adult he'll just throw words together or pick one out at random for commentary. A few weeks ago he used "Naked?" as a telephone greeting. When a friend commented on the local bar scene, "Everyone's fat and angry", he replied, "Well, let's go out and get us some fat-angry!" He used to address one of his girlfriends as "pumpkinfish."
My daughter kept up the infant neologisms a little longer: knifeses, die-sorn (dinosaur), inch-a-lation (insulation) were coined sometime before the age of four. There weren't many others. She does tend to use "cabbage" as a greeting, though. She's 20 now.

LOL! My younger sis was adamant that the words in the song, "Sixteen Tons" by Tennessee Ernie Ford were "I woke up one mornin', it was pissin' rain...."
My nephew called helicopters, "tee-dee-boppers"
My oldest son called fire engines, "far-gen-en-en-en-ens" and french fries were "Tench Tries"
A refrigerator to my daughter was "fridg-a-frator", hamburger was "hangumber"

We must have confused my daughter when she was young because everything that was cooked on the grill was"Turken", probably because most of the time we were eating either turkey or chicken.
Great thread Sally, brings back memories.
