I'm stuck at home struck with the flu trying my very best to care for 3 DC under 4. To say I'm struggling is an understatement. My 2 year old just cheered me up though. I'm in pj bottoms and a zip up hoody (no bra- relevant) and have just breastfed baby. As I went to zip my hoody back up 2 year old asks, shocked, "where your boobie lid?!" Please cheer me up with some funny things your kids have said when they haven't known the name of or mispronounced something. Oh another one, prawn crackers are known as knackers in our house as that is what now 4 yo called them when she was little!

19 month old DS has started saying "bang-bang" if he bashes a part of himself and it hurts. He cut his knee falling over and there was a little blood. He called it "bang-bang juice".

Last one from me, hope you're feeling better:

"You know my brain in my head? What's it for?"
"It tells your body to do things"
"Can it talk?"
"Sort of."
"Is there a brain in my bum that tells me to do farts?"

Thanks everyone. And thanks for the well wishes! I am feeling much better today (still pretty awful but not on death's door!), I'm sure these stories have helped. Some have made me really laugh out loud and subsequently have a coughing fit

Just remembered now 4 yo used to call santa something that sounded very like "Farter kisses"

2yo came home from nursery before Christmas telling me she’d learned all about the little baby Jason, who was a very nice baby but “you mustn’t touch him cos he might retch.”

Still absolutely no clue how she figured that last bit, but she was deadly serious.

DD upon reading her first puberty book:

Periods?

Is that when you have to wear...
Wear...
Wear...
PANT PLASTERS??????

Dd couldn’t say the sound sm. Smarties are still farties in our family.
One day ds4 said to me “Nanny’s coming today”. I asked him how he knew. “You’re hoovering”.

YouStoleTheBowlFromTheRoom · 16/03/2018 22:45

upaladder We have the same thing: smarties = Farties.

Problem arose when she told her dad “you’ve been very naughty; I’m going to fack your bum.”

My 4 year old.

Not toe nails but "T Nails"

My ds is insistent that he is not referred to as a baby. He's 2.5.

"I no baby, I toddler!"

"I big boy, I two!"

He furrows his eye brows and pouts and does an incredibly cute cross face. We call him Mr. Angry Eyebrows.

He also trumps and says "Dd do it!" even when poor dd is at school!

Whenever he sees younger children or animals he says "he so cuuuuttte!" in the most adorable way. Smile

2 year old I looked after had a picture of a snowy mountain in the living room on the wall. One day, totally out of the blue, he pointed at it and went “my name if you there, you be DEAD.” Really menacingly. I couldn’t hold myself together laughing.

Also funny when we did flash cards and he would ask me the word, when I got it right id get “yes, good job good girl.”

Yesterday I started moving when a crossing turned to flashing amber . My 2 year old said ‘mummy orange means stop and green means go ... Gordon Bennett ‘ . Made me laugh so much .

DS2 used to say, "I've got too many hands" if he was carrying too much.
