My cousin Tiffany is a good bit younger than I. As a very young child she learned the word Mildew, but was confused about its meaning. One time, while she still needed help with going to the potty, she said "I'm about to mildew in my pants!" On helping her to the potty I found that she was using "mildew" to mean "poopoo" or "doodoo".
