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?

And this is one that has pervaded from my own childhood - I thought the song 'Eton Rifles ' was called Eat Trifles. My sons are fans of The Jam now and this is what they call that song.🤣
Oh another song one from me - I also thought 'You're the one that I want ' from Grease was 'you're the wobbly dog' - so this is also how that gets referred to 🤣
