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 😊

Ds says incest instead of obsessed 😳

My now 18 year old DS used to say Farmer Christmas, until he stopped believing. Very funny!

My almost 3 year old calls her grandad “wanwad” 😂

My baby sister used to say bisketti for spaghetti. Also the TV had a mokentroll, bananas were babanas, and ill people went to the hoss-tabull.

My 4 year old says Breafkast and insists it is right.

He also calls McDonalds Old McDonalds....which I love!

Am-blee-ance is the cutest.
Though "shark" and "sharp" were used interchangeably as the same word for quite a while - which works surprisingly well at keeping the sane meaning.

my youngest used to say telegibbon instead of television, it was very cute!

Moominfan · 03/05/2019 21:29

Calls elephants rabbits... close enough

Normandy144 · 03/05/2019 21:37

Dd1 had many cute ones.
Duckerole =crocodile
Bikeroll = bicycle
Flusheyes = eyelashes

She is almost 6 and still occasionally says 'mummy, i hap to' instead of 'had to'!

Dd2 has less but i love her saying 'valinna' for vanilla.

Hattifnatt88 · 03/05/2019 21:40

"Updown side" (upside down)

"Libbely lobbely" (wibbly wobbly)

Tinyteatime · 03/05/2019 21:46

Dd is 3. There aren’t so many mistakes in her language now but she calls French baguette ‘long bread’ after hearing me refer to ‘shortbread’ (the biscuits), and assumed I just meant normal bread that’s not long.

We ask her in the car ‘do you want your songs on?’ And she now thinks her songs CDs are called ‘songson’ So she says ‘can I have my songson on mummy?’

BendydickCuminsnatch · 03/05/2019 21:48

‘I spy with my little life’ 😍😍💔
‘Underella’ (umbrella)
And a load of stuff that is right and so green up and delightful coming out of such a tiny mouth 🤗

My little one says extroy instead of destroy she's 6 Grin

BollocksToBrexit · 03/05/2019 22:05

DS is 5 and thinks the 'h' in human is pronounce 'f'. So we're all fuman beings. I've told him how to say it correctly but he won't have it that he's wrong.

WTFdidwedo · 03/05/2019 22:08

Glue is goops for my 2 year old.

Trinpy · 03/05/2019 22:08

My 3 year old calls pinecones 'coconuts' and sandwiches 'snamidges'.

My 5 year old is always asking if he can ride on a 'bedecker bus'.

jinglet · 03/05/2019 22:12

My sister as a 3 year old used to say Chocolate penis instead of chocolate peanuts. She had a lisp.

Boobahs · 03/05/2019 22:17

My DS1 (3 next week) says "pine cones" for traffic cones and "pinkconks" for peacocks 😂

Tootyfilou · 03/05/2019 22:19

Beer lips for wine gums
coffin garden for cemetery

GriseldaChop · 03/05/2019 22:27

DS has a few good ones over the past year or two, love it when he says them!
Bungle bees
Crack a dackle - crocodile
Onety one - 11
Cockpilot - after we'd been on holiday he started pretending to be the pilot in the plane 'ladies and gentlemen this is the cockpilot, please fasten your seatbelts'! I think we've got a mix of cockpit and pilot forming a much better word! Grin

GriseldaChop · 03/05/2019 22:29

Oh, I forgot he sometimes says 'that's why' instead of because. 'I can't play outside, that's why it's raining'. I've tried to get him to say because but it seems to have become habit!

SusieSusieSoo · 03/05/2019 22:30

Ds now 6 - hyneenas in lion king (he read the proper word - hyena the other day & was a bit confused...)

Also when he was really little git gits for biscuits

And dnephew called my ds Allypanda (2 year old's version of Alexander!)

Still get away with Allypanda occasionally - never git gits tho far too babyish..

TheShoeLady · 03/05/2019 22:32

Mine are all teenagers now but we still use some of their special words!

It’s Pankooed = it’s broken
Scubbled up = messed up
Boke = also broken! (DS1 obvs broke a lot of stuff when he was little!)
Fmish Fmingers (whilst making a breathy nasal sound!) = fish fingers
Fmace = face
We still call buttons ‘buntons’ and biscuits biccits

DP has a very special way of asking for biscuits which was his childhood ‘word’ which is a bit like blowing a raspberry then coughing up phlegm. Grin

My DCs all learned sign language too, so I still do some of the signs for them for drinks, biscuits etc

DD had a cute lisp so we still say
“I have a Thneaky Thuspicion...” (she had good vocab as a 5 year old!)

DS2 couldn’t say his Rs (think Jonathan Ross) and he had a hilarious debate with DD when they were 3/5 about how you say Doritos and Weetos! So obviously they are now referred to as Dowitos.
