"P," as in "Ham."

Toddlers have weird lisps.  A 2-year-old is nearly impossible to understand sometimes, and it's not that the words are too long or complicated.  They just exchange random consonants for others.  Take Ollie, for example.  I mean, take my kid Ollie as an example, using his name Ollie as an example. 

"Do you want me to carry that?" I'll ask.

"No, Ah-yee do it."

For those of you who speak Spanish, it's kind of like having the whitest hispanic kid there ever was.  "L"s turn to "Y"s.

"I love you, Oliver."

"Yuv Yooo!"

Oliver loves his daycare provider, Pam.  Absolutely adores her.  But Ah-yee chose to say her husband, Scott's, name long before he said hers.  In fact, Oliver named each family member in their houshold along with each child in daycare before he said Pam's name.  Well, he doesn't actually say Pam.  He calls her Ham. 

"Ollie, did you play with Pam today?"

"Yeah! A-Ham!"

So we tried an experiment, to see if this rule of P-H exchange applied elsewhere.

"Ollie, say 'pumpkin."

"Pum-kin."

"Say, 'puppy.'"

"PUPPY!!  WUFFFF!"

"Okay, good.  Say, 'P'."

"Peeee!"

"Say Pam!"

"Ham!"

(You can sure say that again.)
