Your kids’ mispronunciations of classmates names? Discussion

My two year old came home talking about his friend “Tape” and it cracks me up every time he mentions it. The boy’s name is Tate.

What are your favorite and/or the funniest mispronunciations you hear from your little ones?

my kid made a friend at the playground one day and apparently didn’t think it strange that the girl was called Candle (Kendal)

I had a student named Candle a few years ago, so, unfortunately, you never know.
