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

[fblake]

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 😊

DP’s DD used to pronounce her Fs as Ss

So floor was sloor and flag was slag!

Ok I totally misunderstood the title to this thread Must read full OP

DD in a supermarket “ooh gerbils!! Daddy likes gerbils”.

Pointing at the blueberries.

These are all so cute!

I'm so sad my DD doesn't say these anymore! 😭

Effelet (elephant)
Poobelear (polar bear)

And she'd get mixed up with "on my own" / "by myself" so for a long time said "by my own". It was terribly cute. "It's ok mummy, I get down by my own!" I ended up slipping into saying it too

Both mine were confused about the words for clothes.
DS decided that since you get dressed, all clothes were called a "dress".
DD thought that the singular of clothes must be "Clo" - "I will wear this Clo. And then this clo"

Magic earmuffs: headphones

For some reason DS believes that leaflets are called "mattresses" and we go along with it because it's funny

Croissants is now always crossos. My 6 year old thanks people ‘from’ things. “Thank you from getting me a drink”

Lllellow for yellow - long L sound. Breathtaking cute, looking up, pointing with very big eyes

DD1, now 11, used to say that someone did something 'by mean' as opposed to by mistake, i.e. they meant to do it. DD2 picked it up too but they don't say it any more .

Ooh I just remembered another one.
When DD was 3 she had some new shoes. The shoes caused her a blister.
I said 'oh it looks like shoes have been rubbing'
I put a plaster on and thought nothing of it!
A few days later DD said to me 'my rubben has gone now'
I had no idea what she meant until she explained.
She is now 11, she knows what blisters are but she still calls them rubbens!

As my Dd gets older I am slowly losing all her little child like ways as she makes room for her teenage ways. However, so far the word 'rubben' is still there, just a little reminder for me that she will always be my baby girl!

DD4 has lost most of hers but still says "moos-tik" for music. Too cute!

I cried laughing at cock-a-dock-a-doodle for cock-a-doodle-doo 😂
He's had several … my favourites were
Onaj = orange
Tel-a-fish-on = television
Copper = helicopter

DS is now 13 but as a toddler used to say ... adey-rater ) radiator)

It was so cute I never corrected him on this or other mis-pronunciations. They learn soon enough anyways

Ds1: -
Bunnets instead of buttons.
Lellow instead of yellow.
One evening he told us it was "darking" outside.
Mummy went to hopsital when I had ds2.

Ds2 was slow to get the idea of talking. His best was patterlillar for caterpillar. I was very sad when he started saying it correctly.

My DD says "Fewman" instead of "Human. She's 12 lol

We had a bunch when we were kids and some are still in family use:

Zigger zaggers = lightning

Ice cream house = greenhouse
Wellers = wellies
Heffalumps = thank AA Milne!

But my favourite is a mispronunciation of my name that has stuck and is my name within the family. It is how I sign cards and introduce myself on the phone. And it has also stuck to the point that I am known as Auntie Mispro by the next generation and random unrelated children!

I am 48, my brothers are 46 and 42 respectively!

Another one from DD just now: whobody wants this orange?

Bickit for biscuit
Pink juice for summer fruit squash
Remote means I don't want to watch this change the channel
Disaur for dinosaurs

He's actually really good at most of the words he can say.

When DD was learning to read, and first started putting longer words together, she was reading an advert on the back of a bus, and then asked if we could buy some Vitamittens...

5 years later, I'm not sure any of the kids know that the word is actually vitamins...

Love this thread, it’s so sweet!
My 2 year old son has a few!
Brogee - Broccoli
Caaaag - Carrots
Ooober - Hoover
Baby car - means a wheelchair 😂

My dcs are teens now but some if the ones I remember that have slipped into our family vocabulary -

Dalek bread = Garlic Bread.

Meat Buffers = Beef Eaters (when visiting the Tower of London)

Baddies = Raspberries

A warmy warmy = hot water bottle.

Still makes me smile now

Ds 1 still says Fourth-head instead of forehead, will not be swayed on at nearly 7. Frogs was pronounced f*ks, we had loads in our garden one year with him shouting “look mummy, jumping f*ks”.

Ds2 is only just starting to say more things, Didoor is dinosaur.

Bish Bingers - fish fingers
Goke my beet -stroke my feet
Cumburger - cucumber
Dine-OH-saurrrr - dinosaur
Gwuck - truck

Ohhh myyy goodnesssss

I flipping love the bones of him
