So when Mo sent me this image, I almost passed out..LOL.. I thought it was ADORABLE! Mo’s attention to detail is incredible. She just encapsulates emotion, physique, style all in one little image! Since Mo is a children’s illustrator, and I LOVE children’s books, we are a perfect matchypoo. I love to take her images of children and translate the emotion so that we can use the same image for both children and adults…
So here we are.. on day TOO and I introduce you to….. BUSKETTIE! (say it out loud and you will get it!).. I will never forget when I took tyler when he was little to Starbucks and he LOVED the chocolate SPIGOTTI’s (biscotti)..
Do you have any funny mispronounced stories? do share!
Hope you like Buskettie as much as I do 🙂
mwah.
messy mwahs.

That image is adorable and will make some wonderful cards. Loved your story that went with it. I was just looking through some scrapbook layouts the other day and found one I did about my granddaughter when she wanted you to remember something she would always say “Keep that on your mind.” It’s not mispronounced but sure made it fun to keep track of things.
My pre-schooler told me he was learning Spanish at school. When asked he said the word was “Takasee”. I asked what that meant in Spanish and he said “sit down”. Get it…take-a-seat.
Looks a lot like my baby, that is 2 y/o now. When he goes potty he says…Mom turn light too fooky in here!!! Instead of spooky!! LOL!!
I enjoy hearing all his mis -pronounced words….we all have to learn some how.
Love this stamp! Will there be a little boy version? Cuz that would be fantastic!
I don’t have a mispronunced story but close. For the first time My 3 1/2 year old neice was watching me breastfeed my son. I knew she had never witnessed this phenomon & would probably ask what I was doing. I was prepard To tell her that I was breast feeding Nathan because this is how some baby’s eat. Instead she looks at Nathan, looks at me, looks at Nathan again and says ‘is he eating you?’ lol….I tried my best not to laugh & said yes I suppose that’s what you could call it. But it’s actually called breast feeding. She looked at me like I was nuts. She says ‘soooo he’s eating you?’ Then my mother calls me into the kitchen, my neice yells ‘she can’t come grandma, Nathan is eating her right now.’. Kids…gotta love ’em.
I had a boyfriend a few years ago that had a 3 year old son and he had soooo many precious mispronounced words.
New-new’s (noodles)
Ma-maw (grandma) the “ma” like man without the “n”.
Tank-u (thank you)
And not so funny to me, but hilarious to my boyfriend and his father was the toddler trying to say my name…angel….but he couldn’t pronounce the “g” so I was anal instead of angel. I was working REALLY hard to work on that “G” sound!!!
My most favorite “kids say the funniest things” moment was a friend’s little girl coming into the house and upon seeing our new little orange kitten said “Oh, lobster!” (she was going through a phase in which lobster was her most favorite word) Well I just had to name him lobster after that 🙂
When we were little we use to call my Aunt Marie ” Aunt Re ” and one of my Aunt’s use to call me “Re Re” Short for Maria, but that nickname never stuck! Love the new images…although all that coloring does scare me a bit!!!!!!!!!!
What a cute image, MO outdid it again. My son who’s 8 says the weirdest things, he still asks if we’re watching Gary’s atame (at-a-me) which is greys anatomy. Or he’s says his brother is playing grand da-da-two, say it fast….=grand theft auto, it’s a Xbox game! And I remember my nephew used to call skunks kunks, he’d say I smell a kunk, which was pretty funny!
Emma just got her shots for kindergarten. She informed me that they were for chicken pots and weasels. 🙂 And when she was 3, she called peacocks cockpeas.
did I ever tell you what Tyler called a Truck? ahhh nevah mind..LOL
My nephew always loved his grilled cheese “snamidges”…we all loved it so much we never wanted to correct him.
What an adorable stamp… can’t wait till it’s out!
My daughter when she was 3 had said something to me and I asked her if she was Positive… and she put her little hand on her hip and she said in a matter of fact way… “Oh YES Mom.. I am POT-I-VIS!
She also liked Mcdonald’s Happy Meals and as we would drive by any McD’s she would say I want a … BURR, BYE BYES and TOY!
My son called his pillow a TOE-DOE.
And my Mom tells me that when I was little I called my eyebrows – BEE-BAHS and my Elbows BOW-BOWS.
Kids are so fun 🙂
I have to share this…. Today my 8 year old sister tells my hubby & I that when she gets older she wants to be an executionist. Our jaws dropped ‘HUH?’ she looks at us & says ‘you know…people who do nails’. Ohhhhh….’you mean esthetician?’ I immediately thought of this post & had to share.
