Mispronunciations

There are some things that your kids do that you think you will remember forever. And some you do. However, I'm finding myself searching my mind these days for that one memory I'm dying to bring to the forefront, just slightly out of reach. So, I wanted to jot down a few things down before they too become lost in the great abyss behind my eyebrows.
