What's the cutest thing your DC says that's wrong?

My DS can't get his head round the word she, he always says her. For example when my DD is crying, DS always says 'her is angry' or 'does her need a clean nappy?' So sweet!

I'd love to hear yours 😊

She doesn't do it anymore but strawberries used to be straw-b-berries to DD Grin

My 5yo insists on using 'Lello' instead of 'yellow'.
He knows it's incorrect, but prefers his own version, and will not be swayed.

This is pretty much how my next 13 years are going to go.

She calls blueberries "bloobs". And of course we've now started doing it too so they'll probably be bloobs forever!

My son can't say baubles . As in what you put on a Christmas tree . He says baw-blee-balls 😂

My daughter can't pronounce the letter m properly so monkeys are bunkeys 😂

Basanga for lasagne. He is eight.

Merote for remote, he's almost six and if her reads it in a book you can see he is confused by the correct spelling Smile

SoundofSilence · 01/05/2019 13:17

The television has a remoke. He's sure of it. He corrects us when we say remote.

Thankfully it's a few years since he's asked for a porn beef sandwich for lunch.

When my daughter was four, she used to always use the word, "wallabelly" and even composed a tune to the word.
We had no idea what it meant until the day she told me her front tooth was "wallabelly" and I realized she meant "wobbly".
The girl is 18 now and everyone in the house still use the word.

My 3 year old had chicken pops last month

redhotchill · 01/05/2019 13:39

Aw mine had chicken spots. And the scabs were scaps

thenightsky · 01/05/2019 13:42

When DD was little and getting dressed she always said 'Tucky Ring mummy, tucky ring'.

It meant - tuck it in (your top into your trousers). Grin

We still use tucky ring for tuck it in.

HoHoHolyCow · 01/05/2019 13:42

DC2 is 6. If he is talking about multiplying two numbers together he says 'times tables' instead of just 'times'.
So: Mummy, is two times tables three, six?
It's so cute I don't correct him!

Mylittlepony374 · 01/05/2019 13:43

Popcorn = Cockporn

All very funny until she asked for it loudly in the supermarket.

puppymouse · 01/05/2019 13:46

DD 5 can't say "v" and it's particularly noticeable when she tries to say "very."

She can be quite serious and concerned about certain things and she has a completely straight face and says "It's DERRY DERRY bad how they do that." It's so cute 😊

Roomba · 01/05/2019 13:54

Aw, these are so cute. DS1 used to say 'Ho-tail' instead of 'hotel' when he was little - relevant as we had to live in hotels for a few months at that point. So there was the 'old hotail', the 'new hotail' and the 'lellow hotail' (Premier Inn, I assume because the sign has yellow lettering!). We still refer to these hotels by those names, ten years later. So, for instance, I'd say 'walk past the old hotail, turn right and it's on the left near the new hotail' Grin DS finds this embarrassing now but can't stop himself still referring to them as such.

DS2 used to break bad news with 'orchad-ly' (unfortunately) - 'Orchardly I dropped food on the carpet Mummy'

So many with my son. He needed speech therapy but I almost selfishly didn’t want it as it was so so cute!

A few non speech therapy ones I can remember -
Hoot for hood. He’d say “mum it’s raining, out your hoot up!”

Fuzzy juice for fizzy juice.

My daughter is great at talking. She’s only two but talks amazingly. I can’t think of any she says incorrectly except the man bin for binman lol.

AFOLNerd · 01/05/2019 14:02

Had lots over the years with 4 kids but my favorite is from the youngest. He calls the lawn mower a lawn hoover! I’m never going to correct him.

purpleboy · 01/05/2019 14:03

Roomba ours says exactly the same! 'Ho tail'
Don't know how she came to call it that! 😂

MsMustDoBetter · 01/05/2019 14:05

My daughter gets "tummy acorns" after she's had a happy meal at "Hot Donald's".

snowflakeeel · 01/05/2019 14:09

my 2 year old DS says 'mine' meaning 'me' or 'i'll' I love it! If he wants to do something he says 'mine do it'.

SauvingnonBlanketyBlanc · 01/05/2019 14:11

Bisketti for spaghetti

Zoobedoo · 01/05/2019 14:11

Dandelion clocks are 'lion cocks' Grin
