I remember when my younger siblings were little, they always came up with the funniest and cutest ways to say things wrong. For example, my little sister, Mirinda, thought that the 5 appendages at the end of her hands were "thingers" (pronounced like fingers). It really fit! These days, I'm thrilled because Kallie has recently reached this phase of life.
Yesterday, she was "reading" Whitney's Winnie-the-Pooh counting book, naming the item pictured and the amount. She came to one page of dandylions gone to seed and said, "Nine dandyfluffs!" What a great name for those little blowable flowers! It's now in my personal dictionary for words to use in the future.

Dandyfluffs... awesome!
Nobody in my family growing up was ever so creative, though "oat-me-meal" (oatmeal) and "underbrelalala" (umbrella) are some of my favorites from my siblings growing up.
Way to go Kalle! Dandyfluffs is an AWESOME word! We use to do this too but we would come up with completely new names...and to this day they stick. Like ponytail holders (the kind with hard circles on the end that wrap around themselves) were called "tinkerbells" It took me until well into high school to realize that is not the real name. LOL!
This makes me think that I need to write down all the funny things my kids call things so that I can write a dictionary for them when they get older!
Dandyfluffs is adorable!
That's so cute. Tyler had a language all his own! I love that these little kids just pick words that mean what they want them to!
