'Moo Cows' and 'Moke'

Everyone has a small child they know of. It could be your own child, your younger siblings, cousins, your friends family, anyone. But regardless of the person we all have come into contact with a baby or toddler in our lives. That being said, many people have heard how they speak. Their vocabulary consists widely of words they made up or mispronounced. Though it is baby talk to most, I find it clever. Babies and toddlers often rely on the sound or color they can relate the object in question too. Us as grown people rely on the words someone else has set for our language, but children can make up their own words on a limb and are content with calling it as is. I, for example, have a younger sister. We are six years apart, just enough for me to remember when she was a baby. If she was a baby now, she would have called my little toy cow here a 'moocow' or sometimes the occasional 'moomoo'. She referred to them as 'moo cows' until she was around six or seven. I have been told when I was a baby, whenever I wanted a bottle of milk I would ask for 'moke'. Babies rely on what they already know to make up the words for things they don't.
