Here are some of our favorite Connor mispronunciations:
1. Croach: roach. Ex.: Mommy, there's a BIG GIANT croach in your office.
2. Brinoculars [bree-NOK-u-lers]: binoculars. Ex.: I have brinoculars just like Diego has brinoculars.
3. Noodas [NOO-das] or Goonals [GOO-nas]: noodles. Ex.: I want the goonals with the stripes (ziti) and the red sauce. (When he says this, he puts three fingers by his face and draws stripes in the air.)
4. Got-for: forgot. Ex.: I got-for get my puppy.
5. Gehaust pipe [ge-SAUST pipe]: exhaust pipe. Ex.: Mommy, your car is slooooow. It only has one gehaust pipe. Daddy's car is super-fast. It has two gehaust pipes.
Ha ha! I love the gehaust pipe! The things that daddies teach their little ones... My little cousin was about 4, and he was sitting in his carseat while his mom was filling up the gas tank. I was in the front seat, watching him, when he looked at a rusty old junker parked next to us. He looked at it, looked at me, with a totally somber expression, looked back at it and said "what a piece of shit". Wonder where he got that from???? :)
