“Where did momma go?” asks our three-year-old foster kid.
“She went to visit her friend,” I say. “She’ll be back later.”
“Why?”
“Because she wants to come back. She would miss us.”
“Why?”
“Because she loves us.”
“Why?”
“Because she does.”
“Why?”
“Um. Let’s practice not talking.”
“Why?”
**sigh**
So, our three-year-old foster kid mispronounces words in the most ridiculously cute way possible (click here for Part One):
Library = Larry
Studying = Scuddying
Bumped my head = Bunked my head
Computer = Poohter
Of course, some things are not so cute. Occasionally she has to go poop, and she says: “My butt hurts.” However, sometimes she does not give this warning. Sometimes she just poops her pants and then she says:Â “My butt doesn’t hurt.”

What words have you heard kids mispronounce?
So, our three-year-old foster kid mispronounces words in the most ridiculously cute way possible:
Bank = Bink
Caillou (a kids show) = CaiMee … or … CarMee
Octopus = Ossaposs
Hippopotamus = Hickopossamus
Sprinkler = Splinker
Craig = Keg
Hokey Pokey = Pokey Pokey
Back Pack = Pack pack
Itsy Bitsy Spider = Itsy Pitsy Cider
Giraffe = Grif
Random, she sees an ant and calls it a spider. She’s “scared” of spiders! But when she sees a real spider, she calls it a bug, and she’s not afraid of bugs.

This is how I feel in the mornings when the kids wake me up two hours before my alarm goes off!
*shaking my head*
… kids …
