All kids have them, and some families continue to use them...those words that aren't quite right but add to the vocabulary of the family. Over the years I've heard 'busghetti', 'mazageen' and 'ell-yo' (the last one is a color).
With J it's 'tomonnow' - she has always used that word for the day that follows today...the distinctive 'n' sound in the middle. I keep waiting for it to disappear and start hearing tomorrow but so far it's holding on. I'll miss it.
With S it's 'ash-leyes', those are one of the ways to identify a female anything. Minnie Mouse has ash-leyes and Mickey Mouse does not. Here is one of S's art projects. I love it because it has fabric in it. It's a girl snowman - "which you can tell is a girl because of its ash-leyes."

We have those, too. Emma's are pupcakes (you know the mini cakes with frosting) and chopstick (the stuff you put on chopped lips).
Unfortunately Brandon's grown out of his, and I don't remember any really. Though I do remember asking him (when he was maybe 6 or 7) to name something that rhymed with thing and he says with complete confidence "BING". Um, ok, could you use that in a sentence for me? You know, Mommy, like you have to eat all your green bings if you're going to have dessert...
The eyelash thing sounds so familiar. E says the same thing! On all of her drawings, girls have these large eyelashes and the boys have none. It's nice to know that there are others that think like she does. It must be a 4 year old thing!
