In my bachelor days, circumstances put me in the position of hosting a couple of unrelated (to me or to each other) boys int mealtime. I had no “fun food” so I made up ramen noodles (no broth), spaghetti sauce, and shredded mozzarella, calling it “extra wiggly spaghetti with pizza cheese.” One of the mothers called me up begging to know what her son was asking her for…
My name is similar enough to a type of bread that to one little guy I was known as “Mr. Bagel”.
Another baby cousin, now 21, went for a few months at age 7 randomly saying “pert-turkey”. A few years later his little brother, about the same age, would randomly say chickenishly “bawk-bawk bawk” in a particular cadence and inflection; he’s now 13. Both remember doing it; neither remembers why.
Enough for now :)
