What a lovely word...

[aka pixi]

My 2 year old neice was chatting to me the other day and called a snowman a mak-mak, i was intrigued as to where she had got the word from until my sister told me that mak-mak is the word she calls a duck (obviously meaning quack quack). Bless her heart, I suppose a round fat white snowman with an orange carrot nose sort of does look like a giant duck. I dont think I will ever call a snowman a snowman again :)

I used to mind a little boy in my summer hols when I was a student. He called helicopters "gigops" and cucumber was "agolo" (we think it was because his nan once said it gave her indigestion agony).

My niece used to call courgettes "court-ridges".

When my nephew was a wee boy, he couldn't prounounce Lasagne properly - he called it Masambria!That was over 18 years ago and the whole family call it that to this day! He was the same when saying Spaghetti, he called it Biscobay. What a poppet! x

When we were really young my little sis couldn't quite get hold of my name(Chris or Christopher), so instead she used to call me 'kiki'.

Hi pixi - one of my little darlings decided to make two mak-maks - making it very obvious that one was male & one female! Good job they were in the back garden - oh forgot to mention he was 18 at the time lol!!

My Daughter who is now nearly eight used to call a radiator a radiotater which kept my wife and I highly amused. My son who is 4.5yr and has just started in the early years dept calls his head teacher Barginty but her name is Mrs Maginty. We appologized to her but she said she has been called worse.
