Will it scar him for life if I let him find out for himself that he it is, in fact, 'bread sticks' he loves, not "big d*cks'?!

My 2 year old has been declaring that some things are dick dusting for a few days now. And that at Halloween there is a bitch Grin

Love these 😂 My DD used to say Easter cunt instead of Easter Egg hunt 😅

My eldest son, when he was about 3, told me he liked my cock. I made him repeat it three times, before he got frustrated and pointed to my watch.

TheKrakening3 · 04/03/2019 22:07

My son would say cock instead of clock. His favourite song was My Grandfather’s Clock. The substitution works brilliantly.

Amicompletelyinsane · 04/03/2019 22:07

My little boy used to be obsessed with clocks. There was a big clock in the doctors reception behind the receptionist. He used to point at the receptionist and shout " cock" v loudly 🙈

DD2 when aged 2 said cock shit for chocolate and kiss arse for Christmas. It was Christmas, so there was a lot of kiss arse cock shit in the shops. Still it did distract from her asking for a drink by shouting cunt. She's also slightly deaf so all delivered at full volume ConfusedBlush

Dd use to say-

Ko-ohlala for koala and Filamingo for flamingo. It was so cute. It’s now just standards parlance in our house.

I love the mispronunciations, so cute.

Dr says flum instead of thumb and now we all do, she also struggled for ages knowing when to stop on Rhinoceros, it was rhinoceros-eros-eros.

Trufflethewuffle · 04/03/2019 22:09

When DS1 was little he used to call socks, shoes etc yocks and yous.

We realised we needed to be more careful what we were saying when he knocked over a stack of toy building bricks and exclaimed "oh yit!"

My favourite when my son was three was Pissmas. Never corrected it. Was very upset this year when smhe said it properly

Moanger · 04/03/2019 22:11

Kristoff on Frozen is now known as Pissed off in our house. 🙂

Worldshohohokayestmum · 04/03/2019 22:12

Sheep are currently shit-shits according to DS. Shit-shits go Baaa 😂

TOADally · 04/03/2019 22:13

DD loved meatballs and pasta, but meatballs would come out as 'mipples'. Easily misheard in a restaurant or café.

thebabessavedme · 04/03/2019 22:14

my dgs plays going to 'hostable' in an 'ableance' I dont think we shall ever say hospital again.

Moominmammaatsea · 04/03/2019 22:15

Cucumber will forever more be known as ‘cumbaba’ in our house, thanks to DD2. Her spoonerisms also include ‘acci-didn’t’ for accident, which is most apt for her and other Wreck-it-Ralph-type toddlers, I think. We’ve all adopted it for any type of sorry-not-sorry activity in our home now.

DD1, now 11, had problems pronouncing her r sound properly when she was 2 so used to delight in kicking through the ‘cunty’ autumn leaves. Especially outside Grandma’s house...very loudly.

AnyFarrahFowler · 04/03/2019 22:17

DS called chickens “digors” age 2. He’s now 3 and says chicken - and looks at me strange if I call them digors. It wasn’t me who made it up!!

JohnnyHatesJazz · 04/03/2019 22:18

We go to 'Wisburys' Sainsburys in our house. My DD is early 20's but we still say it.

salsamad · 04/03/2019 22:18

Our DS used to say Pissgetti for Spaghetti - still sometimes ask him if he fancies that for tea if he's home from Uni Grin .

JaretsGirlfren · 04/03/2019 22:19

When my DD was younger she thought rollercoasters were called ‘heights’ as she’d heard someone say they were afraid of heights in relation to a rollercoaster.

My all time favourite was her word for handkerchief... ‘pankerchink’! I used to try and steer the conversation so she’d say it more Blush Grin

ReleaseTheBats · 04/03/2019 22:20

"Marks and 'spensive" is wonderful 😬

novasglowx · 04/03/2019 22:21

Aww I miss the days of "Coocookacum!" (cucumber), "Unpooter" (computer), "pjaffe" (giraffe) and "updairs, downdairs" (upstairs, downstairs). Almost makes me feel broody Grin

BusySnipingOnCallOfDuty · 04/03/2019 22:22

Both mine had speech delay (one still does).

Puddit/Purdit = pirate
Tellin = tail
Pannin = panda

I lost where I wrote the rest down.

With my nearly eight year old, she will come out with something which with her delay, plus the tv on, plus my missing a hearing aid, will sound extremely dodgy.

There's a few words which have literally escaped me right now which we say the wrong way on purpose but I can't remember what, because they're in the moment words.

Supergrassyknoll · 04/03/2019 22:23

As far as I am concerned a crocodile will forever be a cadaroar, though my newly 3 year olds blanky may need to evolve from being his fucky 😂

novasglowx · 04/03/2019 22:23

DD also had "kinky fingers" after having a bath Grin

novasglowx · 04/03/2019 22:24

Rapunzel was "Apunsdums"
