Do your kids ever come up with their own pronunciation of words that are more interesting than the "right" pronunciation?

My eight year old grandaughter has suddenly become fixated on obtaining a picture of “A pond, with two swans, blue sky, sunshine and ‘roaming’ hills.” “Roaming hills” sounds more marvelous than “rolling hills” to me! So I’ll go with that for a while. (Working on finding said picture! :)

Same child at four, called squirrels “squirrids.” We stuck with that for a long time, until one day, about six months later later, one of us said it and she looked at us very oddly and corrected us. :) We still prefer ‘squirrids’ over ‘squirrels.’
