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 😊

My little nephew can’t say Auntie My-name. I am now known as Artie is. Or just Artie. Even his parents, and my own (his grandparents), have started calling me Artie now.

My name is nothing like Artie is.

We have hairbrows instead of eyebrows (love this and was so sad the first time she said eyebrows!). Flagogo instead of flamingo. Asks for things by saying 'I has a... ' in a questioning tone, I has a biscuit mummy?

Soooo cute!

Another "straw-b-berries" here.
Po-ta-po-toes.
Avobacado.
Binmanas.
Sapaghetti.
Yep we still use them all!

When DD2 was tiny she called the place where we kept the washing machine, tumble dryer, dishwasher etc, the Too-littlely room because Utility was a bit tricky.

DS (5) says 'horstipal' instead of hospital, 'suckrack' instead of rucksack and 'snawich' instead of sandwich.

I'm attempting to correct the first two but me and DH now ask who wants a snawich for lunch Grin

'Coobumber' instead of cucumber was particularly cute but didn't last that long. As was referring to a rather large and bearded male friend as Grandma (he and actual grandma look nothing alike) Hmm

LordPickle · 01/05/2019 21:22

Buttaplies instead of butterflies 😍

harrietkatie · 01/05/2019 21:25

Yay-yo- yellow
Pop pop- porridge
Capatiller- caterpillar
Fumans- humans
Fuge- huge
Fig-e-yers- figures

He's now 7 and still slips back to these Smile

My dd is only 21 months but we have a couple,

Water=moremore she knows what water is just seems to refuse to say it.
Then related to that anything which holds water and is big, e.g.river is a bar (bath)

But she just tends to shorten words for example washing and anything to do with it including airer or washing machine is just 'wash' but we have begs instead of pegs which is cute.

Not a mispronunciation but I noticed today that DD calls animals by their actual names, except for baa-baa-sheep and horse-NEIGH (the neigh is always very enthusiastic!) Not sure why she feels the need to add sound effects for those animals!

Rarfy · 01/05/2019 21:50

Mydn used to always says chablet instead of tablet. So cute.

tokyosong · 01/05/2019 21:56

Duddle instead of cuddle, I don't ever want him to say it the right way!

Dandelion1993 · 01/05/2019 21:58

Pack pack - backpack

Giraffes - draughts

Dalek bread - garlic bread.

hungryfortheinvisible · 01/05/2019 21:59

DD2 calls unicorns "One-u-corns"

Peachesandcream14 · 01/05/2019 22:00

Blueberries are 'booberlees' here Grin

Vagessence · 01/05/2019 22:08

Rhiseroceros instead of rhinoceros.
Tive instead of tide.
"You're confusing!" Instead of you're confused.

Rhiseroceros is definitely my favourite. I also just had a brain fart and couldn't figure out why my phone wasn't playing ball with "rhinosaurus."

Vagessence · 01/05/2019 22:11

Oh and the washing machine used to be the weemean. Gosh I miss his toddler cuteness!

Dixywitch19 · 01/05/2019 22:11

DS is 5 and calls crisps crispebies
I think its because as a toddler he always said 'kisbies' instead so now it's a mixture of the proper word and his version. I love it 🤣

Dixywitch19 · 01/05/2019 22:16

More of a mix up but I love it when he says ice choc instead of choc ice. It's just adorable the way he changes things up by accident

justdog · 01/05/2019 22:28

'Beep beeps' for babies... every time we are in the park and she sees a pram, she runs over shouting 'beep beep' 😂

justdog · 01/05/2019 22:29

In her defence she is only 17 months...

redexpat · 01/05/2019 22:30

Mummy sticks = salami sticks
Futterby = butterfly
Queen of new york = statue of liberty

Overrunwithlego · 01/05/2019 22:32

“I’m only cumin afterall” to Rag n’ Bone man. Bless.

Jedd · 01/05/2019 22:33

The Cough. It's never "they have a cough". It's "they have the cough". Makes it sound so serious 😂

Motheroffeminists · 01/05/2019 22:34

Dd2 called crumpets "bum bits"
Dd1 called Philadelphia "Delphine" Nectarines we're nectar-bins.
Bras were Ar-bras

A sneeze is a "bless you" in our house. If it's raining the sky is wet.

Veg-a-bulls instead of vegetables

Primula is squirty cream

Wotsits were wockets and I thought he meant rockets and couldn't grasp how I could give him this for lunch Grin

Ds (4) can't say the letter s in some words. "Mummy, how do you spell no?"
"N. O"
"No! how do you spell NO?"
"Ohh, S N O W" 🙄 which now I think about it means he must know that no and no are spelt differently try even though he says them the same.
Nuggle instead of snuggle
Dooter instead of scooter

Ooofpaste for toothpaste and ooofbrush. Bloo-bloo for belly button.

An ex used to call a spatula a bacon bat, and my niece called lipstick slipdick.

I'm sure there's lots of others. So cute.

SinisterBumFacedCat · 01/05/2019 22:36

DS said once he wanted to go to the men’s toilets to use the “U-rhinos”
