Fizzy hand - DD the first time she had pins and needles

Bouncingbelle · 21/02/2019 23:32

DN "bunnyears" = bunches in her hair

Me - "grass hoover" = lawnmower

Sassenach85 · 21/02/2019 23:32

DD says Thumb toe for her big toe lol

2 favourites from friends' children:
Jumpoline (trampoline)
Countalator (calculator)

Can't argue with either of them really!

DS is great for inventing new words:

Comfy bench for sofa.
Table bib for table cloth.
Ping- ping for elastic band.
Eggy jump perfectly describes our egg cups which are formed from a spiral of wire.

Boobie cups = bra in this house :)

These are all so so adorable and heartbreakingly cute. @mnhq vote for classics please!!

My brother used to call car indicators "dit doos"because of the noise they make.

At school, we have "ish toast" ... toast which is just lightly toasted. It is toast-ish Smile

Adsss · 21/02/2019 23:43

Also fizzy bones for pins and needles

Mandapanda85 · 21/02/2019 23:47

Pins and needles in hands = mummy my hands are growing Grin I never want to forget that

TheFirstRuleOfFightClub · 21/02/2019 23:47

My daughter used to call me Ooh Ah, I think I make that noise every time I stand up.

TheFirstRuleOfFightClub · 21/02/2019 23:48

My other daughter has to let her food warm down before she can eat it.

Wakk · 21/02/2019 23:49

We have strangled eggs on toast here.

eastie1122 · 21/02/2019 23:49

Here we have "yammies" for pjs and when DS was little he once asked for "cock corn" (popcorn) Blush

ChimpyChops · 21/02/2019 23:50

My son when he was 3 asked me to move my boobie dressers off the bed so he could lay down.
Had just bought in some bras off the line 😂

DoJo · 21/02/2019 23:56

After my youngest was born by c-section, I sent my older son to let the health visitor in and he opened the door and called out 'Mummy, the baby-checker lady is here again for some more YoungestDoJo wees!'

Sunnysidegold · 21/02/2019 23:57

So many for bras! Boobie hats they are here.

Crock a rock a dile - crocodile
Waw waws- strawberries
Dusty upper - dustpan and brush

mumwon · 21/02/2019 23:58

eldestdd flutterbys (butterflies), marks & spensive, egg & flowers sandwich (egg & cress)

FurrySlipperBoots · 22/02/2019 00:03

Theses are too adorable!

When my brother was little he was scared of the fluff from between his toes that comes from new socks. He would cry 'There's bumbleebees in my bath!' when he saw the bits floating off.

I used to look after a toddler who called helicopters 'Heh-cuh-cuh-cuh-ters'

And 2 other munchkins I've cared for still ask for 'pasgetti' for tea, and fly on 'Air-pap-lanes'. Too cute!

My almost five year old son shouted that Donald Trump was a “warpig” only recently when he saw him on the television.
He has called him stupid before - mine and his father’s influences ahem - but this rendered us speechless with admiration as well as silent shaking laughter.

Omzlas · 22/02/2019 00:04

DH has always called big toes 'foot thumbs' because in his native language there is a word for them. There's also a word for the space between your toes

DD1 called vegetables 'vegables' when she first learned to talk

IDrinkAndISewThings · 22/02/2019 00:04

Loving these! My dd used to call her wellies her boops, and in her little voice it was just the best, so it's stuck for her and her little brother, wellie boots are boops, and always shall be!

Eatmycheese · 22/02/2019 00:05

And rugby is known as ruggleby by him and his younger sister.

Myusernameismud · 22/02/2019 00:11

'Hudsoms' boobs (think he meant bosom maybe?!)

'cabasheen egg' cadburys creme egg

'My foot has gone sparkly' he had pins and needles

'booby straps' bra 😂

'tiger strings' stretch marks on my belly

All DS, who always has been and always will be hilarious. Not a child who is afraid to be wrong, and we love him for it.

FrangipaniBlue · 22/02/2019 00:16

When DH was little his word for hedgehog was ponkyjog - they will now always be known as ponkyjogs or "ponkys" for short!!

DS used to call those naturals jelly snake sweets "yelly nakes" and again that's stuck.
