What did you mispronounce as a kid? What do your kids mispronounce? Add 'em here!

doosen dawsen

No real translation as these words don’t really mean much of anything. However, saying them in an “accent” made me feel like I was saying something in a foreign language. (I believe it was supposed to be Dutch. And, no. I don’t know why.)

Note: My big sissy, Megan Hart, ALSO knows about the “doosen dawsen”. I (sort of) recently said it in front of her children. When they asked what it meant I told them to ask their mommy. When they did? Yeah. She straight up guffawed.

Abdominable Snowman

(Abominable Snowman)

I guess he had some digestive issues?

Being from the western PA area, I STILL have trouble with some word pronunciation. I can’t distinguish between “pool” “pole” and “pull.” Thanks a lot, Pittsburgh!

Buh-lud!

This video is so existentially perfect.

It’s not so much that he mispronounces “blood” in his terror; it’s more that his terror is so gosh-darn funny. I picture this kid 15 years from now showing this to his psychiatrist to explain the rift between him and his estranged parents

Hi. I'm PeteL

1. When I was a kid I couldn’t write “R” for some reason. Instead of Peter I was Petel.

2. My best friend in elemantary school couldn’t say Alfalfa without screwing it up. He was ridiculed on the playground for pronouncing it Alfa Alfa.

I don’t think we were best friends after that, I mean I have an image to uphold and I can’t be BFFs with the fat kid who talks funny.

summa b@tch

At the age of 3 or 4 I huffed around the grown-up section of the local public library saying “summa b@tch” over and over. I believe I was p*ssed because I wasn’t allowed to join my big sissy for story time. My mom was following closely behind me saying “Some of what, honey? Some of what?”

Good cover up, no?

Girl Cheese

One time at Bob’s Big Boy I freaked out when my little brother ordered a grilled cheese sandwich. FLIPPED OUT. When asked why, I kept saying that he couldn’t, that it was only for girls. Which no one understood, until I said, “Because that’s why it’s called ‘Girl Cheese’!! It’s for girls and he’s a boy and he can’t have it!”

When they told me that it was indeed not called “Girl Cheese” but “Grilled Cheese” I was so embarrassed that I hid under the table for the rest of dinner.

I like bunnies, tucking my jeans inside of my boots, being in warm places, Shooter Jennings, Coca-Cola, photos taken in photo booths, boys who are made of 'snakes and snails and puppy dog tails', and recycling paper.
