Aren't they cute? My son called bulldozers, "bull-overs" and my daughter was trying to tell us that she was a grown up, called herself a "grown-duck." Needless to say, we still use those little "pearls" in the family. :)

I could write pages of the things my boys said. They are etched in my memory :)

You should write them. My 15 yr old still likes to take trips down memory lane with us and hear all the silly things he did or funny words he said.

That's a great idea!!! They are in my head but when I'm gone the kids won't know them!
Thanks hon!! :D

Instead of "leave me alone" my youngest son would save "leave me aclone". He stills gets teased about that one.

I have a book of the stuff my son would say when he was little because I didn't want to forget them. He would say gomasses (molasses), nemons and nunch (lemons and lunch), commacated (complicated) and all fisked upt (all fixed up). This is a great post!

My brother, who is 9 years younger than I am, used to call leotards "legaturds" - I always remembered that one.

These little kids are so great. Our 4 year old granddaughter has a beanie baby that she insists is a baby coyote. Makes us laugh every time she brings "Baby Cy" out to play.

Oh! I haven't thought of this in a long time. When my daughter was about 2 yro, we were playing together and she passed gas. I looked at her and asked, "where are your manners". She took me completely by surprise and responded, "I ate 'em". I couldn't hold back, I burst out laughing. Somehow she had bananas in mind.

My middle daughter had an even crazier word for "oatmeal". She always called it "op-ee-moy-lee-owe", and no amount of coaching could change her mind. We always wondered why she could take a simple word and make it so complicated.

A friends son used to call a refrigerator a fritterfrater, and he called fish- phish. Sometimes we use those words today just for a laugh.

la la for pillow, kee kee for blanket, lalow for yellow, wips for lips, wuv for love, so many more, I can't think of them right now as that was 30 years ago and more. My grandkids are not talking yet but I am sure they will come up with some duzzies.
