Gosh, all of these old-fashioned and retro conversations we've been having... I've been enjoying them all immensely!
Anyhow, thought it would be fun to start a new thread conversation related to funny names our kids called things.
I don't have many, but "baba" stood for bottle, and "bappers" were diapers in our house for a long time when my oldest son was learning to talk, and according to the same dear son, rubber pants (when his baby brother was in diapers) were called, "pop-a-pants"!
"Panking" was spanking, and ice cream (from the Dairy Queen), was "ice cweem". "We all scream for ice cweem" I'd sing out loud, when we went for a treat.
Now, don't ask me how he came up with any of those names (or why), but he did! LOL!
I often think the "pop-a-pants" name was born as a result of me using those old-fashioned large pins to put on diapers in our house... so mommy was popping the diapers and pants when changing them.
