TODDLER TALK

Watching toddler Moonbase grandson grow up is full of humour.

His way of saying things is just wonderful and amusing. here are a few of his sayings:

1. Clandle - candle

2. Stumbletrip - trip over

3. Ouchey - sore

4. Bythelieo' the moo - By the light of the moon [from The Hungry Caterpillar]

5. Pancays - Pancakes

6. Tickler - comfort rag

Did you say any funny stuff when you were a kid? Hard to remember I know. The only two I recall are:

1. Draclia - Dracula

2. Ambliance - Ambulance

  1. Kids are great at these things. My two older kids, now grown, had some funny words as well, Woodsy.
    Some which immediately spring to mind are;

    Mouse - Squeaky
    Insects - Scutlers
    Butterfly - Buckle-fly

    1. My younger brother used to call our Grandmother "Gack!", and when I was a toddler, I used to call the Vacuum Cleaner the "Dould-ee!" [said like should, but with a 'D' instead of a 'sh'] It seems I was trying to imitate the noise it made... I have a recording from 1961 of me as a toddler babbling on and on and on.

      Nothing new there then.
