Sadly, I think this will be the last year I’ll have a Best Words list as my littlest is growing and his speech is getting better every day. In the meantime, however, here are the Best Words of 2010 — my favorite mispronunciations, misinterpretations, and just plain amusing figures of speech, courtesy of my two-year-old.
Yego — No, we didn’t get the kid a really crappy collectible car; this is what he calls those building bricks from Denmark. Come to think of it though, they’d probably make a better, safer car than the Yugo was.
Pehrrow — When it’s bedtime, the kid has to go searching through the house to find his Pehrrow — because it’s hardly ever on his bed and heaven knows he can’t lay his dainty head directly on the mattress.
Desitint — I think the kid is addicted to this stuff — he thinks it tickles when I put it on him when he has a bit of diaper rash and wants it every time he gets his diaper changed.
Diss Bunk — You know how, after you give someone a high-five, you make a fist and sort of punch the other person’s fist? That’s called a Diss Bunk.
Toosert — Sometimes, after dinner, if it’s not a school night, the kids might luck out and have a little ice cream for Toosert. Or, whenever they visit Nana, there’s always a little Toosert to be had.
Beppis Time — He gets very excited in the morning when it’s Beppis Time. I’ll call the kids down to eat and he’ll come running down the stairs yelling “Beppis Tiiiiiiiiiiiime!”
YuhYoo — At night, when he’s lying down, he’ll tell me “I Yuhyoo!” so of course I respond “I Yuhyoo too!”. Naturally, I love him too.
So there you go. Feel free to expand your own vocabulary with these classics. I know I have. And what words have your kids come up with? Have any stuck?
