misheard lyrics

Sophia has a number of words we have come to understand from context and repetition, but are probably going to confuse some of you. Also, some of them are quite funny. Here is a brief list of some of her more non-obvious words. Some of them you should be able to guess, some probably not.

  • 1. nama
  • 2. leek
  • 3. boobie
  • 4. leap
  • 5. hadie
  • 6. pooter
  • 7. baka
  • 8. moon
  • 9. luthor


Everyone knows that there are times in a song where the singer is saying one thing (or trying to) and you hear something else. The one that makes me laugh the hardest is from Elton John's "Tiny Dancer", when he is clearly singing "Hold me closer, Tony Danza."

Some of these misheard words of Sophia's are are ambiguous as well - the same word means different things in different contexts.

Did you guess what those words mean?

Here are the answers


  • 1. pajama, or grandma
  • 2. leg (leek sometimes sounds like lick, too)
  • 3. blueberry (most berries are blueberries these days)
  • 4. sleep. Used when she's tired (with "nap-a"), or in combination with putting her finger in front of her lips and saying "sssss", when someone is sleeping or when putting her toys on their side. also when seeing pictures of sleeping things.
  • 5. Haley, the dog
  • 6. computer
  • 7. bottle
  • 8. spoon, or moon actually...
  • 9. soother, or Lex Luthor. We watch a lot of smallville here. not really.
