Pictures Queue
My Momused to pronounce certain words strangely, just for shits and giggles. Things like 'Hoard Overs' for 'Hors d'oeuvres'. Another was 'Picturesque' pronounced 'Pictures Queue'.
When I was ten or so, we learned 'picturesque' in English class. The teacher asked how to pronounce the word and called on my wildly waving hand.
'Pictures queue!' I proudly announced.
'That's not quite right, Parkie.' said the teacher.
So I began to argue with her. It ended with me in tears screaming at the teacher that she was wrong and a call home from the school about my behaviour.
I still say Pictures Queue every chance I get, and am leading my daufghter down the same dark path.

So your story is 'my mother was an idiot and so am I'?

Everyone knows it's pronounced
picture-skew, not pictures-queue.
Picture-skway may also be acceptable.

Kids today. Tch.
