Well i knew my son 2 yr old would learn something from Dora.....he learned "abajo"(ah-ba-hoe) and when my wife came home and he said it, she wondered why i have been calling him a butt hole because that is exactly what it sounds like coming out of his mouth....luckily when out in public i can ask him "are you saying abajo?" and he says yes......
so i was wondering if anyone else has experienced anything like it.
When my son was 3 or so, he got really into trains, and Thomas the Tank Engine. He quickly learned many of the trains' names. He really liked Percy, and said his name a lot, but it came out sounding like "Pussy" because he had a hard time with the "r."

Mine actually went the other way. My bil would drop "shit" like many of us would use any other exclamation. So my wife and I are at Sunday Morning brunch, and my nephew drops "shit",,, an older couple at the table next to us frowned,, I said "yes you're a big boy, you "sit" in a chair". He smiles brightly,, and says it again,, and I reiterate,,yes,,you sit,, big boy. The couple started out,, with a "oh,, that's what he means",, to,,, a look of,,"why I never" about the sixth time.
Now that I have children of my own,, I'm better at deflecting a near disaster,, and changing the subject entirely.
Hey Tom:
You need to fix the HTML on the link to Homeschool Hut. You've got an extra "http" in there, and you forgot the colon.

When I was a kid I heard my parents talk about there being a "giraffe" in the house, but I never saw one and couldn't figure out if maybe they were teasing me. Eventually I realized that they were saying "draft" when they talked about it being a bit cold inside.

In speaking of the end of one of her first dance recitals, in which a couple-hundred kids all come on stage for a curtain call, DD pronounced it the "Fran Ganale." It took us a moment to figure out she meant "Grand Finale." I figure she just named the proverbial "fat lady" who sings at the end of an event -- Fran Ganale.
She still calls "New York" "You Nork," and "spaghetti" "scabetti," but both sound quasi legitimate in their own right. I also think her "Table of Competence" is a much better term for that part at the beginning of a book.

That wasn't there before. Sheesh. You'd never know I used to be a coder at a dot-com.
Thanks, Dave!

This isn't really a word that sounded like something else, but this thread reminds me of the time my 2 year old at the time caught me getting out of the shower. She was and is very much into Little Mermaid.
She said, "Daddy, you have a tail"
That one made me cry with laughter.
When Darth Punkin started Pre-K at 3 in a Montessori school, we use to have to go under an overpass. To make things interesting, we would always go "1, 2, 3........DUCK!" as we're going under. Well once she got her counting down, she would try to add "4" in there before the "DUCK". The "our" part of four usually got cut off as we we're saying DUCK. The first time it happened I almost drove off the road laughing so hard. After a few times, I decided to hold off on the "3" until the last minute - not giving her the chance.

My son just turned two. He mispronounces most of his words.
1) Fork- I won't even go into details about what this one sounds like.....as you can see below a lot of his words end in "ahk" sounds
2) Milk- pronounced "mok"
3) Banana- pronounced "nanie", which is also what he calls two grandmothers
4) poopoo- was pronounced "pok" or "pah-kie" for a while....he also knows "puck", as in hockey. Luckily he now says it properly.
When my youngest was 2 we decided to check out a bunch of garage sales on a Saturday morning. While at one he found some kitties that he was playing with. After playing with the kitties for a bit we decided to go to Kentucky Fried Chicken for lunch. The next day, we went to grandma's house for dinner and she asked him what we did the day before. He proudly told her, "We go to fucky fried chicken an I play with titties." LOL! Needless to say, grandma was shocked until we translated.

Jacqueline (who will be 6 months old next week) likes to make this long, loud gurgling noise. And not just I, but other Star Wars fans who've heard her think she sounds just like a baby Wookiee. I wish I had a sound clip of it. You would swear she was auditioning for the part of Jakkamaaree, Lumpy's baby sister in the forthcoming Star Wars Holiday Special Part II. When is it coming out? I think...over George Lucas' dead body.
So why don't they call it mooching when the wife stays home?
