fun things kids say

[Brian MacWhinney]

Bruno and Info-CHILDES,

   I suppose we could make this into a GoogleDoc and open it to public editing.  But I wonder whether it might not just be enough to update the current list on an occasional basis.  People could send you examples as they occurred to them and then once in awhile you could send me updates.  I’ll added George’s example myself just now.

The problem, for Teddy at least, was that Joey demanded that his name be pronounced correctly: Teddy had not yet mastered s-plus-stop clusters, and Joey did not accept "Cott". Teddy's solution: "/s::::/ Joey Cott". Perhaps equally interesting was Joey's acceptance of Teddy's efforts!
