"I only like it when it's been cutten."
That's really a somewhat unusual construction, been verb-en, and of course it doesn't even apply for the word cut, so I'm thrilled as punch that she came up with it on her own. A few months ago she spontaneously came up with the word thunk, which wasn't so thrilling since other people use that word.
It's strange, though. I thought the tendency was for kids to make words with less common forms into words with more common forms - not the other way around!
