Little Ms. E.G. just asked me for some more "Weche"...

[JANdad]

That's "Leche" translated to adult speak and "Milk" translated to english. Mrs. E.G. is from Puerto Rico and I am a gringo...so we speak "Spanglish" at home...what other cute thing do you remember your little ones calling everyday items?

1. my youngest sister called the TV the "telemenish"

and pajamas were johnnies
her butt was her teehiney


they all became part of our family language

mine called regular milk "milkeycup" as opposed to "mommy milk"

[MorningGlow]

2. Milk, according to MG Jr., was "mookie"

Food of any sort was "um". (Context: "Want some um. Hungee.")

Sleeping was "seeps".

Throwing up was "barshing".

And yes, they're all part of the MG family lexicon now. In fact, some of my niece's vocabulary from 19 years ago is still in play, namely "My do it!" (spouted in stubborn protest).

7. Little Ms EG

real name is Nicole or Nicky for short, but her brother (14 months older) could not pronounce Nicky, it was Ninni and so it has stuck throughout the whole family!

BTW...she calls herself..."Kicky"

E.g....No Alex (pronounced Ayex)...it's Kicki's!

[MorningGlow]

8. Oooh that's gonna stick

Are you an off-the-Mayflower blueblood? Because a nickname like that would fit in perfectly at the country club! :D

3. My daughter called cookies "tookies"

It was a sad day when she pronounced them correctly.

My son could not say words like "girl" or "squirrel." It came out like "gwill" or "skwill." We used to try to bait him to say "girl squirrel." "Honey, I think that squirrel has some babies with her. Do you think it's a boy squirrel or a girl squirrel?" ..."Dats a gwill skwill." :rofl:

So freakin' cute.

[JANdad]

6. Gwill Skwill...

LOL! thats cute!

[Debi]

4. Two things

Ravioli was Raffalodi

and vanilla pudding was valinda pudding.

*sigh* Now he just swears all the time.

[SeattleGirl]

5. My daughter used to pronounce nail polish, "nence ponince".

:)

[Midlodemocrat]

9. My niece used to call it

Spench and Franish. She's adorable.

My baby couldn't say 's' for a while, so it was boon, and nack, etc.

10. My nephew once asked for dinner from "Chicken Fried Tucky"

that would be his version of Kentucky Fried Chicken.

we all :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

13. LOL!

My daughter used to call McDonald's chicken mcnuggets "chicken nuhnuggets".

:rofl:

[MsKandice01]

11. We didn't use plates and spoons...

We used pwates and stoons.

[RadiationTherapy]

12. My daughter says, "How ya goin'?"

[Beaverhausen]

14. "Holdja" - my nephew thought that's what one said when they wanted to be picked up

cause we would all say "Let me hold ya" and pick him up, so he thought "hold ya" meant to be picked up.

Hey- it made sense.

[Arugula Latte]

15. Ha! Cute. My daughter would say "Holdyou!" and hold her arms up.

Same reason -- We'd say "Do you want me to hold you?" :)
