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!

My 4 year old thinks the singular for Weetabix is one Weetabick.

Tempusfudgeit · 08/10/2020 00:09

My three year old, when looking out at a misty morning, always says 'It's a froggy day, Mummy!'

DD’s nursery friends apparently include Mr Tilda, Heat, Ortique and Molly Pyjamas. I guessed Matilda straight away, but Heath had me puzzled for a while. Still no idea who the other two are.

I've asked my 4 year old to do me a favour many times. Now she asks me- "mummy, can you do me a flavour please?"

My two boys loved 'insect days' 🙄

nevernotstruggling · 08/10/2020 10:38

Weetabick!!! Love it.

Shit fluuey couple of days these have made me laugh out loud over and over. Kids quotes are the best.

Still wondering about molly pyjamas - molly Jemima?

Dd2 was shocking for friends names. We still refer to her nursery pal as LaLa. (Isla)

DS, aged about 8, singing along with great gusto to Queen's 'Don't stop me now': 'Like a racing car passing by, licking your daughter....'

TheBestSpoon · 08/10/2020 11:27

Loving these! DS is not quite two yet, so we've got the lots to come, I'm sure. Best one currently is he says "loofah" instead of Hoover, which is very cute.

ForeverBubblegum · 08/10/2020 11:43

DS heard "you'll be going to your new school in September" and spent the summer thinking that his school was called insect-ember, and he would be learning about bugs (or possibly eating them, as he does like to pretend to be a lizard)

I taught a boy in nursery who refused to wear his hat at playtime because he wouldn't get any 'fresh-hair' with a hat on!

I can't wait for DS to start talking properly so I get to hear more of these.

KoalaRabbit · 08/10/2020 12:09

When DS was about 3 we were at centreparcs and a goose came up to the window. DS shouted look Mummy it's a chicken- horse. Smile

He also told me to 'eat my food quickly otherwise it will get hot'

And when very little he used to say duddles-momma-duddles and hold his arms out for a cuddle.

He's just a teenager now and I heard him the other day saying to himself whilst dressed in a Pudsey onesie that he was a teenage w(r)ebel.

Upsing down

AlpineSnow · 08/10/2020 12:13

ForeverBubblegum does he enjoy Insect Days? (Inset)

Fizbosshoes · 08/10/2020 12:21

I've just remembered another one that when DD was at nursery she told us a boy in her group had gone to space for his holiday. (Spain)

HalfSquareTriangle · 08/10/2020 12:27

DD6 thinks film trailers are called "trylers" - because you get to try a bit of the film to see if you like it!

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 08/10/2020 12:32

At my DDs British school in Germany, my DD and her friends were very excited about their Reception class trip to Munster Zoo. Unfortunately, they didn't get to see any monsters.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 08/10/2020 12:34

DS used to call Christopher Eccleston 'Creakle the Accident '.

JukeBoxHero · 08/10/2020 12:37

DS thought Snoopy was 'Tuna Pea'. 25 years on he's never been Snoopy again.

sonsmum · 08/10/2020 12:40

My son loved listening to the Jame Bond theme songs CD and for a long time thought 'for your eyes only' was sang as 'for you're a yummy' !!

stclair · 08/10/2020 12:42

Telling his uncle about his visit to the Tower of London, my nephew was in awe of the Bee-Eaters.

When our neighbour had a baby, her 6yo son knocked on our door to tell us he had a new sister. My mum asked what her name was and he said, ‘dunno, I think it’s Ernie’. It was Erin Grin

Oh god DD is nearly 2 and every time she sees a clock she points and loudly shouts “COCK!” She also knows colours now so will shout “blue cock” for example Confused

DS did that for ages. Walking round Dunelm made a lot of people laugh

After my nan died my little sister kept asking to go to Kevin's house. We didn't know any Kevins. Eventually, we discovered she thought nannie had gone to live with Kevin.

Ds: "where are you going, mum?"
Me: "round the bend"
Ds: "I want to go round the bend too".

My ds had a windsurfing lesson and the first bit of the lesson was on a mock up on the beach.

My dd later told he Gran that he had spent half an hour on a stimulator.
