My parents have always had fun with spoonerisms. Especially my Dad. For example, when we're working on the deck and the block between the joists doesn't fit, he says "it foesn't dit." Or when he declares what we're having for Saturday breakfast, he says "blueffles and waberries."
When my husband was introduced into the family, it sometimes took him a minute to decipher the phrase. But since we've been around my parents more while working on the deck, he's gotten into the swing of things. Now while we're at home, he practices them. So while we're at my parents' it's a funny back-and-forth between my Dad and my husband. Welcome to the family!
