I had a friend who's son did this as well, he was especially fond of trucks and would yell out every time he saw one "TRUCK" except he said F for T .
My favorite is DS15 called elephants "elf-fan-ents" .
They would say "exposed to" instead of "supposed to"--you are exposed to eat your vegetables...
My baby brother had lots of cars & "frucks" when he was little. He also pronounced the G sound as a B. So glass & grass were blass & brass. Now my older brother just turned 50 & he still "descrews" with a screwdriver. And he pronounces couch as counch.
A little girl I cared for always pleaded at bedtime- "pweeze, pweeze, pweeze, me no wanna go fweep".
My brother, as a toddler, called his pillow his "plur".
He called orange juice "Oh-jeye".
At my Girl Scout candle lighting ceremony, my toddler brother saw the candles solemnly being lit and broke the silence by shouting out a warning for all to hear, "Hot, burnie up" (Translation: "It's hot and will burn you up".) He got a good laugh for that!
A little boy at a school where I worked had a teacher named Miss Piercy. He had a bit of a speech impediment and often would yell out to her, "Miss Pissy!
Miss Pissy!"
When my niece was just starting to talk, she was at a restaurant with her family. She had a dish of vanilla ice cream that had red hots ( tiny cinnamon candy hearts) on top. She had never had the candy before. As she tasted the ice cream (and the heat from the red hots) she crinkled up her face, started to cry and yelled "Ka-ka, mommy, ka-ka!" loudly enough to get a laugh from most everybody in the restaurant.
Finally, I used to care for a little boy in his home. He would often take me to the kitchen cupboard and point to the top shelf. In an awed and mysterious voice, while pointing, he would wide-eyed and breathlessly say "Shing-geye-eesh". He would stand there for a long time and was insistent that I know what that was. On several occasions, I took everything out of the top cupboard and he continued to point at the empty shelf and repeat the same thing. As he gained more words, he would repeat the same ritual but it evolved to "Slung-gosh". His family had no clue what it was. By the time his family moved away about a year later, I still hadn't discovered what he was talking about but he had me convinced it was very important!

Haha, my DH had something similar. When he was a kid there was something he called the "be-bowsh". His parents never did figure out what it was, but they like to tell the story about it.
When my oldest was little her first word was powdy (powder) and she would go around saying "aw dat's Purdy(pretty)"
When my 4 year old daughter isn't feeling well, she says she has a stummyache.
I knew a little girl whos father worked at UPS and when she was a toddler and you asked her where her daddy worked, she'd reply "at U P U Ass" She got teased for that one for years.
It isn't really a pronounciation thing, but when my son was about 4 he was talking about his "snorkels"...???... It took me a moment to figure out that he was referring to his nostrils.
That is funny!
Both of my kids refer to the hose attachment on the vacuum as the "snorker" because it "snorks" up things....
when my son was little, all trees were "broccoli". when i would drive he'd ask me to look at "all of the broccoli"
when I was a teen my 4 year old cousin came to visit and while I was hanging out in my room she found her way over to my make-up and asked if she could borrow some "lik-stip dahhhling"
and a good friend of mine when her son was about 4, if we went out eat and we would try and give him carrots or broccoli...he would tell us that he didn't like tay-toes" apparently that means vegetables .
Whenever we drove past, my daughter (then age 2 to 3) would light up and exclaim, "Feces!!"
Reminds me of a story about moi. My mom came home from the hospital after delivering my baby sister. I was two and had stayed over with an older neighbor, Mrs. Bays. When my mom asked me how things went, I told her with a pouty expression, "Bays got mad at me because I drew a 'pish' on her wall."
