"Fuckin lady" and other word mishaps

When Winnie was newer to the language, she got a few things wrong. When she sang, she sang loud, proud and sometimes the wrong lyrics (happens to the best of us).

Dinah won't you blow your horn, was sung as, "Dinah won't you blow your whoooore!"

She loved the groove of Jimmy Hendrix and would sing along to Foxy Lady like a rock star would, "oooooo, fuckin lady".

On the cute side were things like word scrambles caused by letter combos that were too hard for her. During her "cr" phase, names like Krista, came out "Cherkots" -- and ice cream was, "ki - you".

Both of my children still say "zewing" for, sewing. On one of her lists to Santa this year, Winnie even asked for a "zewing machine".
