  My son says frigelator for refrigerater. I haven't really paid attention to it for awhile so I don't know if he still says it. If he does, it's habit, he knows what it's called. Doesn't help that his grandma (not Mulan) calls it a frigegater. Quite confusing.

  For years he called CD's CDD's, confused by CD vs. DVD.

  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.

  We did the same. All meat is still "chicken" regardless.

  Can't remember all the funny things they said/say. Maybe grandma Mulan can remember more...

  I forgot about Danny calling parmesan "soap". For years we all called it soap.

  LOL as well at the Ham-Gerber. Must have made him repeat the word 20 times, so we could get our tongues around it.

  Oldest used lellow for the longest time for yellow.

  PS I thought this was an adult thread.

  My Son's Malapropisms:

  When wanting to repeat an experience: "I wanna do it again....and againagainagain...."

  Ice Cream was "Hockey Cream"

  Kayak is a "Unicanoe"

  A goalie was "Goldie" (Correction came when he saw Kasey Keller in black--"He's not gold!"

  Backpack is "Packpack"---he still uses this just to cheese his parents.

  A playground is an "Outside Toy"

  Chicken and French Fries was "Chichen and Fra-Fries"

  Skin Cream for Grandma? "Oil of Delay"

  Princess:

  My son differentiates between discs..."That's a Movie CD, and that's a Comput-i-or CD...I have a Videogame CD, but I'm looking for the Music CDs..."

  My three year old is convinced that braids are called brains. She keeps asking if she can give me brains. I tell it's too late for that.

  TRUTH SEEKER

  My son still calls pretzels- prentsills- he's 10 and does know better!

  He called dolphins -delafins, Hamburgers and french fries-hangleburgers and free fries, ham sandwiches -sam sammiches and pillows-pellows. Both of my children called wash cloths -clof wofs, and my daughter (she's 8) still calls any type of coin money- cents, she refuses to call it change.

  Once the pre-school teacher was trying to get all the children to put their hands together in prayer mode and my daughter wouldn't do it - so when she came home from school that day she was telling me about it and said exasperatedly, "Doesn't she know I'm a "Jehovah's Wi-tin-ess??"

  It was priceless. She also could not say "baklava" too well when she was 2, so she would ask for "bok-a-vay."

  You're right, simplesally, I often fondly recall and speak the little mispronounced words from when they were little, and I love it too.

  flighty was a pacifier . We would awaken to screams of "WHERES MY FLIGHTY?"

  My 10 year old boy, when he was 2 would refer to his older sister Elizabeth as " Ababa" . This was indistinguishable from his bottle, which was also called "ababa". He had a stuffed hippopatamus which he referred to as " Mr. Hannapus"

  My current 4 year old refers to the TV control as the "marote control" and she likes to play with the "compluter".

  She like to tell people that Mommy and Daddy are away in "Ramuda" ( Bermuda)
