Citizen Dissident Snicket

Wildly popular morbid children's literature for regime change! The final volume of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, The Slippery Slope, contains the following dialogue (page 107) between the infant Sunny Baudelaire and the villainous Count Olaf:

"I'm getting quite tired of your ridiculous speach impediment," Count Olaf said.
"Brummel," Sunny said, which meant "In my opinion, you desperately need a bath, and your clothing is a shambles."
"Be quiet this instant," Olaf ordered.
"Busheney," Sunny said, which meant something along the lines of, "You're an evil man with no concern whatsoever for other people."

(Emphasis added, probably unnecessarily.)
That "Ch" sound is hard to get out when you're teething, it seems.

(Many thanks to dear Heather Bee for this discovery---and for everything else, yes.)
