Pennywig. (Penguin)
Squillow (squirrel)

My favourite mish-mash, though, was when a very tiny dd said, ‘Nekth week, nekth time ago….’

She meant yesterday - or tomorrow - so long ago now I can’t remember.

One of our daughters when young was bought a plush toy. It was so cute. A hippopotamus. She couldn’t say it.
‘Hit a pom a tus’ was her best effort for a long time. That was 40 years ago and it still makes me smile when I think back.

Isn't it endearing when grandchildren get words mixed up or mispronounce things? Our granddaughter (8, the other day) is bright, funny, clever, etc., but can't say "Chimpanzee". She calls it Chinzambee grin. We laughed (even though it was her birthday) but she didn't seem to mind.
