Finn, like most kids his age, has some very fun pronunciations and phrases. Ezra did, too, but I failed to write them down and now I can’t remember most of them. So, I’m not making that mistake again. Here are some of my favorites:
coo me = excuse me (usually shouted from the back seat of the car while Bruce and I are talking)
nakim = napkin
douf = mouth (as in, “Can I put bankie in my douf?”)
Joe O Os = Joe’s Os (i.e., Trader Joe’s version of Cheerios)
ban-a-a = banana
beasure tape = measuring tape (from his toy tool box)
cass = class (“Mommy, you work in my cass?”)
cool = school (“I go to cool today???”)
bilk = milk
cooch me in = scooch me in (usually shouted at meal time)
e-meal or a-meal = oatmeal
that guy = anyone (male or female) who isn’t Bruce, Ezra, or me
no, one minute = yes (in response to the question, “Finn, are you poopy?”)
