Kids' Speech Problems

Goosey: So my nephew Jimmy doesn't say his Rs or Ls very well (common 3-year-old problem)
Goosey: But instead of replacing the Rs with a W sound, he replaces both with a Y sound
Goosey: Lollipop = yahyeepop
Goosey: Rocket ship = Yahkehship
Goosey: So I'm talking with my sister on the phone, and Jimmy tells her something, and she repeats him, her voice full of confusion, "What? That's. . . your butt?" Jimmy says it again, and sister says, "OH! Oh, yes, yes that is a robot!"
Randy: LOL
ThePhan: Seth did that.
ThePhan: This made the words "clueless" and "curious" sound exactly the same.
Goosey: LOL
ThePhan: One time he was telling me someone was clueless, and I kept saying, "He's.. curious?" "No! Cyueyess!" "...Curious?" "CYUEYESS! Yike, without a cyue!"
Randy: hahaha
ThePhan: Also, here is my other Seth-speech-issue story.
ThePhan: We were helping him practice words with L in them, and suddenly, he says, all panicky, "I have to practice 'yove (love)!'"
ThePhan: We asked him why. He looked at us like we were crazy and said, "For when I get my wife!"
Randy: hehe!
