Kind of like when I would have to drag her older sister out of the store as she sobbingly demanded "carrots". Other parents give me strange looks, wondering why I'd deny my child such a healthy snack. Little do they know that she really means cheetos. And "bagels"? Really she means donuts.
More fun phrases:
"lo lo" = lotion
"tub bath" = bubble bath
"snacks" = fruit snacks
"booga" = my brother/their uncle
"nigh nigh" = I want to go to bed
"berries" was butterfly's reference to all produce, including veggies
"nana" = banana
"cop cop" = butterfly's popcorn, ladybug says it whispered but with perfect pronunciation
"Moocow"
"yehaw" = horse
"sharp" = all knives or scissors
"buckle" = seatbelt
"cullcull" = popsicle
When something is declared to be "tasty good"
"hop hop" = bunny
"peek oo!" = peek a boo
"no, at work" = response for anytime someone isn't home (daddy, grandma, 3 year old cousin, etc.)
"oh, shute!" = her declaration of something to be cute, usually someone's pet or when she's getting dressed
"wait, wait" = declared very dramatically with both hands held up with palms out
"be right back" = declared with one finger held up on each hand and hands punctuating each word
"keem" = ice cream
"paw wo" = Apollo, and all other cats
I started to add this but you need the whole story. Butterfly insists on saying her own prayers. They go like this "heaven father, thank you day, thank you bessings, je Christ, THE END!" And if you try to prompt her "please bless the food" or "to sleep well", she will immediately and angrily chastise you "no! I say prayers myself!" And then include your suggestion.
But very favorite word in the whole world, for both of them, is (and I suspect always will be) "daddy".
