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
Kids are great at these things. My two older kids, now grown, had some funny words as well, Woodsy.
ReplyDeleteSome which immediately spring to mind are;
Mouse - Squeaky
Insects - Scutlers
Butterfly - Buckle-fly
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.
DeleteNothing new there then.
I like those Tone and Bill. very funny and classic toddlerish! That recording sounds special Bill!
