Not quite fully understandable

[puggymom]

So I understand my three year old, for the most part but some things she says makes me do a double take until I get what she is saying.
Like a while ago at Target announcing, very loudly, she wanted to get her pop-pop the card with the b*tch on it (b*tch meaning fish).

So earlier this morning I was browsing online for tap shoes for my daughter. Just now she sits down next to me and says she wants a tattoo. I say no way little miss to which she starts whining how I said I was going to get her a tattoo for her dance class. Light bulb moment....oh you mean you need TAP SHOES.

She's 3. Thing 1 is one of the most well spoken children I've ever seen and when he was that age he was adament that he wanted the "Star Whores" cereal, you know with Yoda on the box. He was not impressed with my laughter at the idea.

My 3 year old daughter is very fluent... She speaks just as well as my 5 year old son...

My 3 year old son has this New York accent that is soooo hilarious. He seriously cracks me up on a daily basis - I have NO clue where he'd pick up such a strong accent.

Kids are so funny...

My oldest use to LOVE Thomas the Train - He was trying to say 'PERCY' one day a couple years ago - and it sounded like pu**y. My husband turned around and said "What did you just say?!". Took me a few minutes to understand...

We had one of those moments about 6 months ago with girlie....she was saying Brucie (the name of her mom's ex) but it really sounded like the P word!

She speaks very well, but she does have a few funny words. Dessert sounds like "yurt." She'll say "can I have my yurt?"

My son has his own word for "fire truck".









Yeah, it IS kind of funny when one passes by, and he keeps saying that loudly.

My sister used to say that.

My son is 3 and he is really hard to understand unless you are with him all the time. Of course he always says the words you don't want him to say with no problem. But when I asked the pediatrician about it she suggested speech therapy. Which we started the process for. He also had hearing loss when he was a baby from all of the ear infections. But we fixed that with tubes. But if your concerned ask your pediatrican to do a quick evaluation.

My 3yo son can say table as plain as day. When he sees a Fire Truck, he yells Tire Fruck! Tire Fruck!

One day at daycare one of the teachers approached me when I picked him up and told me he had said the "F" word over and over. I looked confused for a moment and stated that's impossible. I use a lot of words I shouldn't, but the "F" word is not one I use in the company of my children. It then dawned on me. "Are you sure he wasn't say TRUCK?" ... she then looked confused and then said "Well, yeah ... maybe he did *laughter*" ....

His cutest one now is hill. He pronounces it like hay - ill. Very cute.

sometimes that can work to your advantage.

Like when I accidentally said F*$% with the girl in the car. her response was mommy what's a f*$%. to which I replied, no no, mommy said truck. see, there's one over there.

Reminds me! My oldest son ( 6yo ) still says plause for pause.

 

[pixiegirl]

Thing one couldn't say "huge" to save his life correctly. It was always "que-ge". He was good with other H words but the HU combo caught him up. We practiced saying several H words in a row and throwing "huge" in at various points.

That was a hairy huge hippo.

That hippo was hairy and huge.

That was a huge hairy hippo.


Within a couple weeks he had it.

Speech Therapy...

Sorry I meant for this to be a "kids say some funny stuff" thread. I understand 99% of what she says just occasionally I have to do a double take like 'what did you just say' and it ends up being completely innocent

L's and R's get my little one...he seems to replace both of them with W's.

Boy has some weird words...."pannycake" instead of pancake, kasplorer instead of Explorer, suprade instead of parade, and soury instead of sour. We've reminded him so many times about EX-plorer, that now he emphasizes the EX part.

My son used to say "polliwop" for lollipop....very cute.

 

[StrawberryGal]

Jeez! I'm deaf and you will have to ask my family about my speech problems. They have TONS of stories.

Too young.

Not too young for speech therapy at three. My youngest had speech therapy before she turned three and there are plenty of two year olds who are in therapy. A three year old who is only intelligible to his parents and siblings should be evaluated.
