Cute Topic, I always had a problem with pronouncing words when I was little, I don't know whether it was just the lack of teeth or what.
I used to always say that my mom was gonna get a 'Miss Lady's Benz' (Mercedez Benz).
I used to think the Scrubbing Bubbles actually came out of the bottle when you spray the tub/shower.
I would NOT eat 'dirty rice' or 'old rotten potatoes' (Au Gratin).
My mother and I went out one day when we were visiting back in NY, and before we went back she told me not to be telling all her business. So when we got back and my great-grandmother asked me what I did today... I said, "My momma told me not to be telling ya'll all her business!"
I am sure I can consult with with my mother and find out all kinds of stories I never knew. OH, I know one...
I used to watch my mom arch her eyebrows in the mirrow, so I decided I wanted mine arched too. So I got my step-father's razor (mind you, it's a FULL SIZED BEARD SHAVING RAZOR), and decided to 'arch' mine. Needless to say I only had one eyebrow left, (I actually thought it looked good, I was going for the other one and my mom caught me!) Pictures were the next day and my mom wanted to teach me a lesson. So she made a BIG deal out of it, and got me all self-concious about it, and sent me to school to take pictures like that, LOL! I think that was borderline abuse!!! (thinking**I think I burned all the evidence**)
