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?

Jump-a-line = Trampoline
Search Tree = Conservatory
Manmans = KFC

Blubalah are blueberries

We have the Dot Store here (Target) and macaroni pizza which is my all time favourite (pepperoni of couse)

Clup for crisps, DS (now 21 yo).

Hostable for hospital, as above.

Drive through takeaway is "shouting through the windows dinner"

The conservatory is the curvatory
Swear words are square words
Yoghurt is roghurt
The television is the gaga (we have no idea why DS called it that but it's stuck!)

Jumpolines and huggles here

Oh and a home jacket (house coat)

We have a "futility" room
Rice cakes are "puffies"

Morrisons will always be Mossisons thanks to DC1.

And anyone showing cleavage on TV in our house or our parents' is met with a chorus of "Line!" after DC2 once declared that Victoria Coren Mitchell had "too much line" on an episode of Only Connect.

We have chuckles for raisins, ds1 seemed to think raisins were chocolate chips. . He loves mince pies but even now at 18 still alls them chuckle pies 😍

Jim- pansys ( chimpanzees)
Flammigoes ( flamingoes)

That Sexing thing - sex (about 7-8 when learning about said subject and where babies come from etc, youngest wakes up day after and asks us if we are going to do that sexing thing to have another baby)!

I'm sure there are many more. A lot of mispronunciations are very common in pre school children but some are definitely unique amongst families.

Blueberries are known as boobies since my daughter demanded this at breakfast when she was about 14 months and my immediate reaction was "I mean you're about 13 months too late to decide you want that..." until she pointed determinedly at the fridge.
