My children come up with some really wacky interpretations of words.  Most kids do, I would imagine.  From the "bilub-ilub" way to say banana when my son first started speaking, to the weird meanings he assigns to words now, I am learning more about what I didn't know when it comes to words than I ever did before.

The two latest weird definitions never cease to make me smile.  Somehow, my son has decided that "trust" is "trade", so he is constantly trying to get people to trust him.  "Look, Mom, I trusted Sissy for this toy!"  No matter how many times I try to correct him, he obstinately refuses to change his ways.  I have given up on trying to correct him and now just enjoy it for all its wackiness.

The second word, and probably the most entertaining, is "junk".  It took me a while to figure out what he was saying, but to him, "junk" is simply "a lot".  "Mom, there's a whole junk of snow out there!"  I could not figure out why everything was so trashy to him.  I'd try to reason with him, telling him that something was not junk, but he kept insisting.  After figuring it out, we all got quite a laugh, and now all of us have adapted that word for our own meaning.

For the past three years, since he first began talking, he has called his water "lars".  One thing is for sure about learning to talk - he has given us much entertainment and taught us a whole junk about how little ones see and hear the world through us.  I call his funny words "Loganisms".  What are some "-isms" your kids have?
