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?

Space invader bouncy thing - The "Vader", coined by DS

We have 'piggy button' (belly button) and 'piggy mouse' (mickey mouse.) I'm also very fond of 'nakey feet' (bare feet.)

Twinkles instead of freckles (heart melts)

My DS calls sleep in the eyes 'eye wax' 😆

We have a little knitty room not a utility room!

Soggy rolls instead of sausage rolls 😂

Jamarmas instead of pyjamas ans sunderbarns instead of sausage buns 😄😍♥️ miss that age ...

‘Magni-finding glass’ instead of magnifying

M&S pronounced ‘mands’.
Because M and S.

Not a toddler but my Dad when I took him out to have a coffee at a local cafe. He suffered from dementia and couldn't always remember the right words for things. He eventually asked for a fizzy coffee which I worked out was a cappuccino and it has now stuck as a lovely memory of the last time I took my Dad out. 🥰

Willyboobies is absolutely brilliant 🤩

Same here but with UPS, as seen on their delivery vans. We still point at them and say ups!

And my son is 21 now.

Fried eggs - space ship eggs
Broccoli - tree
Cranberry juice - Barbie juice
Penguin - ping ping
Yoghurt - dodo
Edward, friend of Thomas the Tank Engine - Row Row
Henry, “ “ “ “ “ “ - Sniff Sniff
Toby - Eon

Pros and cons are prawns and cones. I said it in a work meeting once!

Mashed potato is mashy dodo.

Mrs In Front lives in the house in front of grandma's house.

Ahh. It's eye bogies here 🙃

DD2 was a very early talker who loved the sound of her own voice but even now at 16, listening isn’t her thing.
Finger snails = finger nails
Soil Sauce = Soy Sauce
Cocky Cocker = Helicopter
Achey Cocks = Apricots 😁
These are simply my favourites but there are others in the family lexicon, much to her utter horror

Gary for gravy 🤣

My DS is only 20 months but the words he has for things are:
Killky = milky
Bisbees = Crisps
Roar Roar = Paw patrol
Rawberries = strawberries
Chokut = chocolate
Pup pup = when he wants his drink filling up

After this thread I'm wondering if any of these will still for x amount of years 😂🥰

When I was a child I called the hoover the "hoo driver" and its stuck with me thru adulthood

Our DD4 still says headford and gotfor for forehead and forget! Can't stop ourselves using it too! So cute

We have Bootsit - beetroot, hot and fetty-hot and sweaty, shtawbys - strawberries & a few very odd sayings, my favourite being “if the cat fits, wear it”.

We have strangled eggs

My kids are adults now but sausages are still known as snausage all round. Just waiting for the day a spouse/partner of one decides to puss on the chips🤣.

Snake and kidney pie
