Things that are now forever named after something your kid said

[Echobelly]

In our household, I make a rice dish sometimes that is named after my son's reaction to it when he was about 3. Knowing he liked rice and sweetcorn, I presented him with this dish that includes both, only for his little face to crumple and him to give an anguished cry of 'MUMMY, WHY DID YOU DO THAT TO IT?!'

So of course, it has ever since been known as 'Mummy why did you do that to it?!' (I've even crossed out the name in the recipe book and written it there). DS is now 11 and actually likes MWDYDTTI these days, although he still leaves the green peppers.

Is there anything that your household now refers to by something memorable one of the kids has said?

Our dishwasher is always known as the “doshwisher”, deodorant is “radio on it”, helicopters are “hoppiters”, chocolate is toccy, and rice krispies are “keefies”.
The phrase “I do it my own” is also still uttered jokingly to (now adult) DD in memory of her favourite independent shout aged 2!

Drodrunt-deodorant dd is 15 now

The island of wight rather than Ilse ds is now 22

DSs friend went to chicken on holiday
dairylea is cheese butter
Nutella is chocolate butter
and we get pecklish in our house
I also think you will find it’s pronounced umbumberella

"Brexit time" for breakfast after DC1 who at 2 would yell "I want Brexit" every morning.
Too much current affairs on the radio.

Broccoli = Trees. X

Jelly Wobbler - helicopter
umbrolly - umbrella
flutterby - butterfly (much more appropriate)

Nuk for milk
Schweppers for Schweppes
Nerah for my dogs name (my friends dd couldn't say her name properly but we love her way of saying it)

We have ear beeps for the thermometer and today I actually used 'blendy' instead of blurry when talking to my optometrist today, that was toddler dd's descriptor, she's now 10!

A toddler sit on push along car is called a beep beep.
an emergency vehicle a nee naw
and broccoli trees.
Said toddlers now in their late twenties.

Cake is Geck (nephew used to pronounce it like that).

Automatic sliding doors are "The Business" - my son used to talk about going in The Business, open The Business, shut The Business when he was little and eventually we worked out this was what he was referring to.

Toenails are footnails.

Potatoes are Matatoes.

Father Christmas ' visit is known as What-Doin-Down-Dere. We accidentally woke our son up during delivery one Christmas Eve and that is what he said. He didn't remember though! He is 17 now and also uses that expression.

Oh and boiled eggs are "bald eggs" which is something husband used to say as a child and still does, now the kids say it too.

Our toddler also calls breakfast Brexit - much to our despair!

and we also have jumpolines 😊

Scotch eggs - eggy meatballs
ravioli - roly oli

It's a washer shameen in our house 😂

My son used to say plip plops instead of flip flops and so the name has always stuck

We have raterdaters instead of radiators.
Seagulls are ar*eh0les
Cucumber is bumber
Sandwich is a snarewich

Banana milkshake is forever 'la-la-la-la moo' one of DS's first recognisable words.
Upstairs = up-sky-the-stairs
Animals = aminules
Bra = boobieknickers
Testicles = willy cheeks

We also have flat eggs for fried eggs in this house 😂

Bolognaise is 'ball in hays' here after DD once wrote that it was her favourite dinner

Our Utility room is bizarrely the lectricity room

There are Igwigs not earwigs.

Fizzy feet/hands etc instead of pins and needles.

Caterpillars are now catalippers
spaghetti bolognese is snakes and beef
nipples are neeboys (??)

I read (here maybe?) about a kid who called cauliflower ‘ghost broccoli’ which I thought was brilliant.

Also, what you did say? For what did you say

Wirrul = squirrel
Cat ham = sliced ham. It comes from when DS was little and his grandma used to give her cat slivers of thinly sliced ham!
