Puzzle Description:

Heard a child try to order some ice cream. He asked for chocolate mouse-y roller.

Chocolate Mousse Royale from Baskin Robbins ice cream store.
We still refer to this ice cream flavor in that way.

I wish I had written down my son's mispronunciations. He had a lot. Now I only remember alu-ni-mun and maz-a-gine.

Reminds me of the little YouTube-viral girl named Delta, who surely can pronounce "ice cream" by now!

Norma's comment reminded me of mine: Nakpin and breafkast.

My son pronounced 'music' as 'moogut'. I would put on some my classical music and he'd holler "No! Daddy moogut!"

Oh, I just realized I have a whole ton of puzzle ideas. My wife is Lithuanian, and makes up brilliant butcherings of English terms. I'm going to try to crank out a few.
