When Evangeline was 2 she carried around a large green M&M made out of tin. She would rub it under each of her little armpits, and called this giant green candy shaped container a "dodoba". We soon figured this was her word for deodorant.
She stopped carrying it around after a half year or so, but still picked it up from time to time and rubbed it under her little "pits", after doing so she would ask you to smell them.
By the time she was almost four she knew the word deodorant, and could point the deodorant out in the bathroom, but she was still calling the chipped, dented green tin M&M her dodoba, and still rubbing it like deodorant under her arms.
Most recently -
Evangeline (seriously): Nana, do your pits stink?
Nana: No!
Evangeline: Do you have deodorant on?
Nana: Yes!
Evangeline: Okay. Can I lay in you pits?
Nana (pulling Evangeline in for a snuggle): I guess so.
Evangeline: My dad's pits are stink!
(Nana bursts into laughter.)
