My three year old nephew is still learning how to talk, so I know that he is going to say some hilarious things now and then, but this takes the cake.

Ya' see, the kd can not say popcorn. It's just too long. So he kind of shortens it.

So now instead of saying "I want popcorn!" He says "I want porn!"

I wonder if this is healthy......

LoL...oly moly..

My four year old niece was out from Ohio for Christmas, and had trouble with our dog's name, Freckles. It came out "Fuckles"

Yay, I get to listen to my niece mangle words humorously

But in a year or two

What's really funny is when you realize that they've not only learned words you didn't want them to hear, but they know when/how to use them.

For example, my (then 2ish) nephew was wanting to watch BluesClues on video at Gramma's house, while Gramma was watching her soaps. "This!" he exclaimed, holding up the video, and Gramma said "Not now, Gramma's watching TV" "THIS!" my nephew said louder, waving the video. "Not now. Gramma's watching TV ow, you can watch that later." "Thiss?" pleaded my nephew. "Alex, I said not now."
Little Alex drops his head, turns around and starts to shuffle away, saying in a heart-felt, disappointedly quiet voice "Shit."

The real question is, when do you grant his request? Remember the average age at which children first see porn in the US is nine.

Enjoy it while it lasts! They get more eloquent every month...

I used to have trouble speaking (still do, but not as bad). My "tr" always came out as a "ph" sound. Wasn't a problem until a fire engine went past when my mother had taken me to Wendy's: "Look, mommy! Firefuck!"

I still have sort of a problem with words, and end us saying stuff like "Arright" when I'm saying something. But once you've reached a certain age, it becomes more pathetic than cute. So much for those speech classes.

I have mild trouble pronoucning 'r' in the end or beginning of words, but I'm working to rectify that problem.

We had a family dog that was named in this manner. She was a retriever/lab mix (lab build, retriever coat). The little girl of the family we got her from said that the dog was "byooful" (beautiful) and the name stuck. My dad shortened it to Booful, and we spent the rest of her life explaining why our dog had such a weird name.

People used to have trouble understading me because of my heavy Scottish-Polynesian accent. Believe me, when you combine the 2, it sounds like your speaking gibberish.
But, that got fixed waay back when I was 8....

I used to pronounce th as an f, i still do when i'm excited and don't think before i speak. In my 1st year if high school we were required to quote scripture in the school assembly. All us 1st years took turns and it was mine during easter. I got lumbered with the a verse that began "On the fird day on the fird hour jesus said to his disciples........" i've hated christianity ever since.
