Oynek and Hipponopomonuses

Children always learn some words a little wrong. At breakfast today Eli the endless eater asked for a second helping of 'your-gut', by which we knew that he wanted more peach yogurt. It reminded Daddy Mushroom that Kaj used to ask for 'oynek' to refer to the same. Then we were off and running, remembering the other funny pronunciations we've heard. Kaj preferred hipponopomonus, while Eli likes hoop-pomunus. Kaj is getting frickles on his nose. Eli worries about us, and tells us to be care-fee-ul. Someday he would like to ride in an our-plane or an hekolopter. Our dogs named Disney and Lyra by DM and I, have been re-named Dizzy and Leerla. And the best to date: Eli loves to eat phoney and slimy, even though his vegetarian mother strongly disapproves. (bologna and salami)

And now for something completely different...
