During my college years I was a Communications Major and a Linguistics Minor.For my “Minor” I took a class on Transformational Grammar that focused
on Noam Chomsky and how he transformed the theory of linguistics from
a structuralist approach (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structuralism) to a Transformative
Generative Approach to language.

This is a long way to say that in this class we discussed and analyzed
Bill Keane’s comic strips which (many) were based on actual
“children’s mistakes” with English Grammar and also what constituted
humor.

Children’s grammatical “mistakes” are actually them trying to make
logical sense out of the illogical English Language. (
http://www.familycircus.com/) and thus they apply rules universally.
Some of the best examples are – We Didn’t Do It! or I Had A
Frightmare! or Sing me a loveaby!
