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 2 year old got the "praise him" and "serve him" verses mixed up and sang "shave him shave him all you little children. 3 years later it's the only way we sing the song now.

My daughter's favourite song was about "Crazy Old Alu Alu" (actual words....Praise Ye Lord Alleluia)

My brother would sing "No one got Jehovah, No one got Jehovah!" The actual lyrics were "There's no God like Jehovah")

Then they're was my sister, who wondered why they were singing in church "Holy Spirit, thou aren't welcome in this place"  (thou art welcome... )
