Do Italian kids pronounce spaghetti like bisgetti or buhsgetti the way Americans do?

It's the same word on paper, but pronounced different. Italians tend to speak the vowels longer, with a slightly different sound (the "a" in American sounds like an "uh", in Italian like a long "ah"). They also speak out both t's separately.

So how do Italian kids tend to misprounce the word as they're developing speech?
