Once while reading the Xmas story to my dd, he insisted I call Mary & Joseph “auntie Mary & her friend josie”. He thought I said Mary & josie and due to actually having an aunty Mary said it was rude to not say aunty - all that Christmas & the next one I had to read the story as “auntie Mary and her friend josie” It did actually make it more entertaining.

He also asks for Fish Philip for his school dinner on a Friday rather than fish fillet, it always makes me smile so I don’t bother to correct him!

My DS kept telling people his cousins were going to eat pizza

DD loves to sing Beyoncé's hit "I'm a single letter". To the rest of us it's "All the single ladies" ConfusedGrin

SewingWaspish · 07/10/2020 19:58

And 'coming ready for a lot' instead of 'coming ready or not'.

ladykuga · 07/10/2020 20:00

DD also loves James Browns "Sax machine". I refuse point blank to correct her. Grin

I will resist making jokes about car parks and Philippa Langley.

(Are you Philippa Langley?)

Does the Queen live in Fuckingham Palace, Mummy?

Mine used to sing Robin Hood Robin Hood riding with his gran instead of riding through the glen.

My 17 year old dd asked me the other day what those things are that you have with roast dinner. When I said I needed more to go on, she said 'Oh I know they're Yorkshire terriers' Hmm I feel that Yorkshire puddings will forever have a new name in our house now.

LostInTheColonies · 07/10/2020 20:07

DD used to look for things in every crook and nanny.

Still (now 11) talks about glue-tac and things being oddvious. I should probably correct her Grin

Verybookish · 07/10/2020 20:08

My ds calls chocolate choc-lick.

I used to be a special needs assistant, my dd thought it was Special Knees assistant 😂😂

My 6 year old sings a line in Boom shake the room as ‘how do we know? Because the crabs went woah!’

Orangedaisy · 07/10/2020 20:17

My DD’s childminder apparently serves up Leopard pie.

MonkeyPuddle · 07/10/2020 20:18

I asked my 3 year old if he was telling porky pies, he looked at me funny and told me that, no, he wasn’t a porcupine.
