Toddler Translator Required

[SuckingDownDarjeeling]

Anybody bored and would like to help me translate the word 'mim'? 22mo DS says it, normally in the morning pointing at the shelves but says no to everything I point to until I give up. He also says it during the day occasionally. I'm starting to think it's not an item, but an expression for a feeling?

He has a twin sister who is not bothered by 'mim' in the slightest and just gets on with her business while he struggles to make me understand.

Help?!

My daughter had imaginary friends when she was about 18 months - 2 yrs old. We started off with 'Engi' (tried to work out what she wanted but no " 'Engi' play, no like peas". Then along came 'Ubi' and finally, 'Jonson'. Have no idea where they were conjured up .. but she used one of the friends (or all of them at one point) to tell me when she didn't like something or didn't want to do something in particular!!!! Smart's like … it wasn't her fault it was Engi, Ubi, or Jonson's request.

The other one LJ used regularly was "skullerky". It was when we went in the car. So "Engi wants to go on the bus", Reply: "We are going in the car". 'Skullerky' apparently represented that she didn't like the smell of the car when it had been locked up, especially in the heat, and it was the smell of the upholstery she didn't like. It was "skullerky"!! .

My eldest used to say "dink of doof and a fit fit". (Drink of juice and a biscuit!) She couldn't say goose, that used to be "boof". When we went to the park she'd run round yelling boof, boof!

When DS was 2 he said his name was Genghis!

No idea what he was actually trying to say but it gave us all a good laugh

No update on 'mim', but now a 'da-be-da' is a dummy according to DD

"Mim" to DS(22mo) is bra and/or boobs. Usually when he grabs a handful and twists... he wasn't bf and he does do it it to DH as well I only worked it out when he was "helping" me hang out the washing and shouting "MIM!!!" at me whilst brandishing my bra.

DD used to say it as well, but in her case it was more of an annoyed sound. ("Don't do that, DD." "...Mim!!!")

ludaloo had us puzzled for ages, turned out it was cock-a-doodle-doo, the table cloth on the kitchen table had farm animals on it and she was talking about the chickens and cockerels on it

@CoodleMoodle I'd best double wrap my mims then to keep DS away 😂. That's so cute!

Stotch in this house means toast apparently 🤔
