Kidtionary

As I've mentioned before, my 4 year old seems to have a vocabulary all his own.  I wanted to journal these things so that I don't forget them, so we can look back and laugh remember fondly someday these bygone days of the early years.

~

Here is the list I have compiled so far.  I'll continue to add to it.

He says:           What he means:

"Fab-lee-us" -   "fabulous"  (this is a new one, since my kids have been watching "High School Musical II", and there's a song that they sing in the movie about wanting things to be "fabulous"... so of course, the child has to sing along!)

"Ri-di-clee-us" -   "ridiculous"

"Av-ra-gated"  -    "aggrevated"

"cal-clee-ator" -    "calculator"

"stister" -              "sister"

"elphe-lunt" -        "elephant"

"hair-uh-cane" -    "hurricane"

"fledge" -              "pledge" (of allegiance)

"am-blee-ance" -  "ambulance"

"zrebra" -              "zebra"

And here are a few from my older kids when they were little:

"yeern-yane"     -  "airplane"

"call-a-docker" -   "helicopter"

"hi-dee"            -   "telephone" (because you say "howdy" when you answer the phone, right?)

That's all I can think of right now!

That's cute! When my daughter was four she would always beg us to go to "King Burger" for supper. Now that she knows the correct pronunciation, she doesn't like to eat meat and always says, "I do not like Burger King." I remember the old days fondly as well.
