Overheard: The give-ded

Me: I see you have one of Daddy's business cards there. Did he give that to you?

Audrey: No, I just give-ded it to myself.

This is how she constructs the past tense: not I fell but I fall-ded. Not I ate but I ate-ed. Not-- and I'm sorry to say this one still comes up fair amount-- I peed over there, but I peed-ed.
