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 😊

Mummy please can I have some cock porn? (Popcorn) 😄

Burgalars for burgers
Pristmas for Christmas
Tookened instead of taken
I ask-add instead of I asked
It tasters nice instead of it tastes nice
For real life - instead of for real or in real life
Eg “I saw a really big tractor for real life”
Tefellone instead of telephone
Vamilla instead of vanilla
Mitamin poll instead of vitamin pill

Oh these are cute!

Current favourites from my two are:

Rememberies - memories (DD,6)

Squibbles - squirrels, bibbit - biscuit and muddles - muddy puddles (another Peppa fan!) - all from DS,2

'Chump' for jumper 'chunch' for lunch and 'chups' for shops. He's channeling his inner Sean Connery 😂

Alorralorralaughs88 · 01/05/2019 22:53

My two favourites were always veg-abulls and DD could never pronounce blackcurrant juice so always used to ask for "black orange juice".

Boobies for blueberries.
Cupumber for cucumber.

Funniest one though was when dd decided that she had created a new word. Wank. She said that it was when I was brushing her hair and got a tangle, I would wank her hair. I said I think you mean yank... no mummy, wanking is bigger than yanking. Confused
Luckily she seems to have forgotten it as it was used a lot, such as in the supermarket whilst holding her hand, she would say "mummy don't wank me" if I was trying to get her to hurry along.

Chicken yoghurts - chicken nuggets to DD3

My son used to say fuman instead of human, he’s ten now and I really miss it!

whitechocolatefingers · 01/05/2019 23:15

Ridickyous instead of ridiculous just melts me. And gigantus instead of gigantic he's 4 and I can't bring myself to correct him

MumUnderTheMoon · 01/05/2019 23:19

May-no-naise instead of mayonnaise
She also hates "bumbag" insists it's a "bellybag".

elaine26 · 01/05/2019 23:27

Mine used to say "yes I'm are" instead of "yes I am"

user1492346620 · 01/05/2019 23:35

My DD is called Isla and I would always say
'Isla I love you' and she started copying the whole phrase, but instead saying 'ah ah ayoo'
Now if I ask her to say I love you mummy she says
Ah ah ayoo mummy
Melts my heart every time
Elephants are also ebidents
Rabbits are hoppies

MyGastIsFlabbered · 02/05/2019 06:36

DS2, now 6 used to call statues snatchoos. He also used to say can't as can-an and don't as do-ant. Ready salted crisps were 'already salted' and he'd ask to go to 'Old MacDonalds'. I miss these things now he doesn't say them anymore.

SecondHandTicking · 02/05/2019 11:33

That's ridiculously cute MyGast, and very cultured!

twosecs · 02/05/2019 12:53

They're older now but I used to make jam tarts on purpose to hear dd1 ask for a damn tart Grin.

VoteJadot · 02/05/2019 13:45

DS thinks the verb is "helpme" so he'll say "wait mummy I'll helpme you with that".

VoteJadot · 02/05/2019 13:47

Also, my French husnband pronouncing "oink oink" as "wank wank". not gonna corrc that one, either Grin

SleightOfMind · 02/05/2019 13:50

Snabbidge for sandwich.
Bisketty for spaghetti
Pine pins instead of pine needles
And (my fave) The panna cotta warriors Grin

CookieSwirlC · 02/05/2019 14:13

Dd1 called squirrels ‘scurries’ and they are still that now she’s 6!

Dd2 has ‘pillow’ for caterpillar
‘Nee Naws’ for any emergency vehicle
‘Bing Bong’ for the noise a tannoy makes in shops ‘what’s that noise? Oh mummy just the bing bong’
