DS1 used to say pushion instead of cushion and my favourite of DS2’s was amimals. DH was always correcting them as he was worried they’d never learn the right words and go off to uni saying pushion etc. Obviously that didn’t happen Grin

My 3 yr old son says woof instead of wolf, so the bug bad woof etc. Makes me melt.

CeaselessWatcher · 13/07/2021 22:45

DS2 used to say nipples for dimples. I remember on a bus him bellowing “Do I have nipples mummy? Can you see my nipples? On my face?”.

Also I had a bemusing conversation with the same child who told me he wanted “party snails” and I had promised him “party snails” like his friend Isobel - he meant “party nails”, Isobel’s were red and sparkly.

Oh, and DS1 thought there was such a thing as a stoma cake - because of The Hungry Caterpillar having one after all the other things he ate.

My son used to say cockporn for popcorn.
