    When I ask Evan & Jude if they like their meal, if they love it (which is about a 45% chance these days), they smack their lips and say DEE-Licorice! So now when I go to say delicious, I find myself starting to say DEE-Licorice instead.

    :crazy:

    Feel free to share your own stories. :D

    Hmmm...let's see. I find myself constantly calling Elmo "Bebbo," saying "dankoo" instead of thank you, and, the latest, calling bologna and cheese "bulubbycheese."

    That's cute!

    My boys call jet airplanes "chickabooms". It started after we went to an airshow a couple of years ago. They kept calling the airplanes chickabooms because of the noise they made when they flew over. Anyway, one of my boys loves airplanes and has a ton, so all jet airplanes are chickabooms. I have become so used to it that I will use the word and totally forget that people have no idea what I'm talking about! I'm pretty sure my boys think it's a real word at this point. Oh well!!

    That is so funny! Slaton calls a helicopter a "hopter" so we are now stuck saying that, too.
