Bug rarely stops talking and he uses vocabulary that surprises and delights us. By far, though, my favorite part is his funny pronunciations and self-invented words.
Lesson One: General Vocabulary
- Treet Fweeper - street sweeper, as in "Dat treet fweeper fweepin da treet."
- Push-dozer - bulldozer
- Doovin - doing, as in "What Daddy doovin?"
- Flahlahs - flowers, as it "Dat not dandelion, dat flahlah." Yes, he can argue with ANYTHING!
- Lunch store - restaurant
- 'Mingas - big pink birds
- Dork - the bird that allegedly brings babies (along the same lines, Mommy often does a double take when he announces I have two big sticks...)
- Rhinacha - rhinoceros
- Pingwing - arctic bird, black and white, waddles
- 'Raffe - think loooooong neck
- 'Nakes - snakes
