Amusing mishearings of children

[nevernotstruggling]

Dd1 thinks the device in a petrol car is called a Cat Litter Converter.

Indulge me with more please I'm tired of covid gloom!

UNexaggerated

My daughter also refuses to believe she is a human being because she did not live in a tin when I pointed out that was a baked bean she said then stated that she wasn't any type of bean and that she was a fruit. I asked her what kind a fruit to which we got this gem ...

she was a pear and her brother the son = Person 🤣

Flamingoes = Flimmymangoes
Mr Men books = Happy and you know it land

A Christmas offering from DD1:
"A Wayne in a manger
Be grateful in bed"

And at a parents' evening we found that all the other children had an exercise book on which they had written Original Writing; our DD's said "Origanal Writting"!!

We go and feed the Raisins (ravens) quite often. Which raises questions about what he thinks are inside the Sunripe boxes.

From my childhood, we moved from Yorkshire (short a’s) to Reading (long a’s) just before I started Reception and learned “Who put the colours in the Rainbow”.

I sang “It surely can’t be Charles” for months, assuming it meant Prince Charles because that was the only Charles I knew. “Chance” in my accent sounded nothing like “charnce” that everyone else was singing.

Another gem from DD2 when we were going out for the evening and she wondered who was going to babysit: "Who is lookaftering us tonight?"

I’ve just remembered another. Ds went through a stage of pointing at every large dog and asking “is that a rock climber dog mummy? I don’t like them!” I had no idea what he was on about, until one day I mentioned it to my mum in passing who informed me he’d been asking a lot of questions about the neighbours new dog, which was constantly barking. Ds pipes up “Yes that dog, it’s a rock climber dog!” We both looked at each other until my DM says I think he means a Rottweiler!

Taught DD5 how to say get a grip. However it was misheard as '"Get a grape".

She still calls breakfast "brekbrast".

Playing shops she gave something to her dad and I said he's bad customer. She heard "custard-man"

My son was 'flossing'.

But told me he was doing the Slosh.

I have failed in my parenting and not taught him the Slosh....

So was completely random.

My parents moved away to Devon and my 4 year old went to school and told his teacher that Nanny had gone to heaven.
Queue lots of sympathy at pick up and being told I really should have told them that my mother had passed so they could prepare for him to be upset.

Cockporn!!

Independent moomins!!!

Dd2 called cardigans 'autards' for years but I've never figured that one out.

Dd2 also thinks her bestie's proper first name is FrankJessica but we laughed at that one too much and she gets quite grumpy 😂.

When my best friends child was about 3 I told her I had pins and needles. She repeated that she also had 'needle nindles'. That's what its now knows as in both our houses.

My nephew signs the lyrics "be truth seekers" (hall of fame,the script) as beetroot sneakers and will NOT be corrected. The more you listen to it the more you agree he has a point.

My friend's dd thought the words to the Coldplay song Paradise were 'parrot dies'.

I love these! So cute.

Chris Judge has a book coming out where he illustrated what misheard things might look like - Eggcorns, Blue Barry, Bum Bum bees...

My DD loves a 'sang witch ' for her lunch !

DD2 asked why we were collecting money for Children in Neath (where her cousins live)

DS calls KFC Kenfucky fried chicken, it's too funny to correct him

My dd used to sing
baa baa black sheep have you any wool yes sir yes sir three bags full
One for the master and one for Dave and one for the little boy who lived down the pave
Thank you said the master
Thank you said Dave
Thank you said the little boy who lived down the pave
🙈

My nephew was confused because of pigs in blanket, he actually thought we had live pigs wrapped in blankets 😂

DS2 did a picture in Primary School of "Jesus healing the Leopards".

Just remembered another "happy and you know it meal" for happy meal when she was 2.

*DD2, that should say

DS used to say pish pingers for fish fingers and now another one he says is square word. I've not corrected him on that one. He's got a slight hearing problem and picks up words wrong quite a lot.
