Kaid Vocabulary
My son, like most children, makes up his own words.
Basically, kids don't have a big vocabulary, and their world view is understandably tiny. That said, I think that this kind of creative invention is an amazing thing.
He's getting older (almost 7), and sadly these invented words are becoming more and more scarce.
That said, I wanted to document some of them here for you. (And me.)
Mondi [mon-dee] - "Momma" and "Dada" at the same time.Dowsh [dow-shh] - Truck.
Schoolnagers [skool-nay-jers] - Teenagers that attend a school.
Wuzaiga [wuh-zay-guh] - Godzilla, my son's favorite movie monster.
The old 90's [thee-old-nin-dees] - Anything from the entire history of the world that predates 2004 or so. World War I, WHAM, Ghengis Khan, the A-Team and King Tut are all equally from the "old 90's.
Stunk [stuhngk] - Skunk, the mammal often stinks.
Bishburr [bish-ber] - Stormtrooper, from Star Wars.
Rocktaur [rok-tar] - A musical instrument used to play rock-n-roll music; guitar.
A few of these words were incorporated into our first book of monster haiku, Caught Creatures.
