A Note on My Eve

If I recall right, God gave the privilege of naming things to Adam and he promptly named his significant other, Eve. Of course, at that point Eve kind of took over because Adam probably did it all wrong and called things names that made little sense or didn't quite "fit" the measure of their creation. You know, typical girl stuff.

Well, my two-year-old is at that naming stage and, to be honest, she is a creative little soul. Here are some of her more creative inventions.

Actual Name--Two-year-old Invented Name

Broccoli--Trees
Frosted Mini Wheats--Hay
Hamburger--Chicken
Steak--Chicken
Pork--Chicken
Chicken--Chicken
Anniversary--Birthdaynersery
Her Ceramic Cat--Elephant Name (we are a little concerned about this one)
Waffles--Awfuls
With--If (As in, "I want to go if you, Grandpa."
Baby Brother--Bud
Vernon Worthen Park--Mervyn Mervyn Park
McDonalds--Donalds
Judd's General Store--The penny-candy store
Kasey Kartwheel Doll--Area (pronounced ah-REE-ah)
Computer--Pewter
Our Neighbor Ray--Grandpa Ray

When she was really little she called all giraffes, "zebras" and she called Grandpa Jones, "Bumpa". Heck, I'd still call him that if his real given name didn't irritate him so much.

My grandson calls his grandpa, "peepa". I don't know where he got that name but that's the name that stuck.

Some of the names that my kids chose were:
Hairpin turn (on the roads in the mountains) were called Hairclip turns.
The Tabernacle - Daberdacle
The Ship Channel - The Chip Channel
Just to name a few.

The Brother in Law speaks. Citizens of WilkeWorld, we here at the home base have been waiting for this moment for quite awhile as The Brother in Law has been lurking, but never commenting. We are truly honored, but he makes his appearance accusing my lovely child of talking like a trucker. Go figure.

Hey brother...this blog is rated PG. If you say that word you get a PG-13 rating.

The worst, however, was church. Who's stupid idea was it to take a book with a frog in it to church.

My nephew used to have real problems saying Kentucky fried chicken - work it out!

Love this post! My favorite is that she calls frosted mini wheats, "hay". They are HAY! Ok, maybe they aren't, but they taste just like hay with sugar on top. I'm impressed that a two year old even knows what hay is.

Apparently, I called fish, "shit", as a child . . . many people might agree that it is. I no longer do. I like fish :)

I like this notion of chicken being the universal word for meat. It sort of simplifies things.

I'd go with Bumpa, every time. Speaking as someone who had a Great Uncle called 'Dumdum' until I was 25 here :).

Isn't that cute? My 4 year old calls parmesean cheese 'mac & cheese'. We were at dinner once, and she wanted mac & cheese, so we ordered it for her. And then she cried when it came to the table. HUH? Oh, you wanted parmesean cheese? Yep. And she eats it in a bowl, with a spoon too.

We are also trying to work through yesterday, today and tomorrow... she can't keep them straight.

Good stuff, easy to understand what she's saying. I love kids. Some of my best friends are kids.

I think she's renamed frosted flakes fairly wisely.
Michele sent me and I enjoyed this post and then trying to remember what mine said at two. However, that was a long time ago.

Apa Khabar!

I like how I am now "Jane". If I needed another web identity, I know what I'll use!

One of my friends here in college has the permanent nickname "Judge" because his little sister couldn't say Justin, and call him "Juh-juh" instead.

Even cooler, is this one girl I met the other day whose name is Cindrella because her mom was unconcious when she was born and her dad was away. Her 4-year old sister named her. They mostly call her "Cindy".

I didn't know she knew what hay was either. But when I tried to feed her Frosted Mini Wheats (because it was the only cereal left in the cupboard). She said, "This is hay. I don't eat hay. Hay is for horses."

It's great that you've written all these down. My little one is only six and I'm already forgetting some of the cute names he had for things. BTW, she is right on the money with HAY.

Michele sent me tonight.
