I'm not sure if there's some kind of science behind it or what, but there's absolutely nothing cuter than the way toddlers mispronounce words. The years when my kids were just learning to talk will always rank among the most adorable times of my life. In fact, their mangled attempts at speech were so unbearably charming, I couldn't even bring myself to correct them most of the time! You know what I'm talking about, of course — every little kid shares at least a few of the same word-tweaking tendencies: "Sketti" for spaghetti, "baff room" for bathroom, etc. But the variations on this theme are endless — and endlessly hilarious! Just check out the answers we got when we asked real moms to share their favorite, funny toddler sayings (are any of your kid's trademark mispronunciations on the list?):
