        we should just rename stuff to accommodate how kids hear them as they're always superior. Friends kid thinks its "World Train Center"

        Love this. Many similar confusions in my own childhood. I used to think a misdemeanour was 'Mr. Meaner' until a few years back #naive

        I fondly recall my daughter's mispronunciations of caterpillar and butterfly. And the "hamster" for holding pending laundry items.
