Hello from a longtime lurker. I have been enjoying this
thread immensely. Seems like every post reminds me of
a funny story about my own kids which I'd forgotten.
This one in particular--I'm laughing out loud remembering
one of my favorite word-moments from when my oldest,
now 8 yrs, was 2. She had leukemia (all better now, hooray)
and we had many long stints in the hospital. Her word for
hospital was "hoffa." Once I was buckling her into her
carseat and said, "All right, off we go to the hoffa,"
and she looked at me with fierce indignation and said,
"NO, Mommy, ME say hoffa. YOU say--" and here she
paused, working her mouth to try to get the word out
right--"hoffa-BULL!"

by our 2 yr old neighbor, as in: "Hi, Saucy! I come play!")
