Or is this the best word ever?!

Sweetie-Fluff.
My DD pointing at the candy floss.

What's your best "wrong name" story?

Baldy eggs (boiled eggs) and hopopter(helicopter.)

"crying water" for tears - by my then 3 year old.

My daughter once called the back of her knee her "knee pit"

DD 5: Wing mirrors = car's ears
DS 8: Cat nip = cat nibble

Oh and DS assistants "eat-blind" instead of deaf 😌

*once said

My daughter used to call bras booby jackets-which does make sense

When we were little we'd call Jacket potatoes-Aloo tring ( aloo means potato in my mother tongue) and trying was the sound of the microwave when the potato was ready!

My 2 year old son calls all food cake!

“Foot leggings” for tights 😀

Swede and carrot mixed together was ' onidge' from my dgs aged 2. The same child used ' becase' which turned out to be a combination of incase and because.
We still use these words 20 years along.

My daughter got her preschool boosters and then proceeded to tell everyone she had sore erections (injections)
She also calls pop corn "cockporn" 🙈

Aerocopter for planes or helicopters

Webby boots for wellies

Biscuits are spickets. Babybel is cheese Bell. Courtesy of my 3 year old.

My eldest is called escalators 'excitalators'

Despite being 7 DD still calls trampolining bouncy-lining & it's way too cute to correct

My niece used to call her slide an "up-wheee"

DS2 - helicopters were “oo la las”, raisins were “nunnies”, slippers were “woof woos”, and cucumbers were “doodoodunduns”. We still use these words in our house. He’s 34 😏

Road lumps = speed bumps
Said as SF drove a tad faster than necessary down a lane and I was trying to warn him of the upcoming hazards!

Cereal is called 'somes' in my house. Stems from me asking my 3yo daughter if she wanted some when I was making my breakfast. Confused the life out of me when she asked for some somes.

Still one of the cutest things ever

Oh and her dressing gown is her 'warm'.
'Mummy, can I have my warm please?'

She kills me with cuteness every day.

When Laddo was about 2, bouncy castles were bouncy parcels and car transporters were car mansporters. This then led to van mansporters, which just rolls off the tongue so nicely!! Little Girl calls her mittens baby sharks because I sang the song to encourage her to wear them once. And any credit card sized card is a beep beep, because of the noise they make when you pay contactless - she's a real child of her time!!!

These have made my heart swell this morning! DH and I have enjoyed giggling. These little people are incredible!

DD was great at inventing words. A waitress was a "fooder", as in "That fooder is going to be very tired after all that walking about!"

My favourite is "huptoo" for elephants. From the Jungle Book march of the elephants "Hup 2,3,4 keep it up 2,3,4....."

DD, explaining to me how my car works (aged around 3.5): “and this pedal is the exhilarator”.

Glubs for gloves , icebeena for ribena.

Ully Bella for umbrella. It’s stuck and that’s what we call it now! That’s ds1 who’s 17 today!
Ds2 called cous cous ‘customer’ and we also still say that now!
Aren’t kids cute?!!
