The King's English

Most toddler mispronunciations are adorable. Some of my son's ways of saying things are so beloved that they have become a part of our family lexicon: Elevator = "eh-vuh-LAY-tor"; pretzels = "PREN-sills"; Abby Cadabby (of Sesame Street) = "Abby Too-Gabby"; Uncle Eric = "Uncle Eggy". But his newest is a little Bushian for my taste.

Binoculars = "bin-OCK-lee-ars."

Hm.. my blog or yours... When Alex was young he used to replace 'TR's with 'F's.

Dad had both a CB radio (no license required) and a HAM radio (license required, FCC fines and all that). Alex was fond of picking up which ever he could get his hands on and saying into it "Hey all you truckers out there."
