to not correct my toddler's hilarious mispronunciations?

[Celledora]

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'?!

This is lovely. DS didn't have many but the one I loved the most was helicopter. The early version was "hopatop". Cute. But then as he grew bigger he noticed there were more syllables. For many months it was "hopatopter". I was so sad when he figured it out. I'd happily have left it uncorrected!

DD (nearly 8) wrote this today.

She really wanted to help with the COOKING

Ds used to love shouting about the 'fucksias' in the local garden centre. He's an adult now. We all call fuchsias fucksias in our family.

Carbanana for carbonara and soupcase for suitcase. All a long time ago but firmly in the family vocabulary 😂

The other day my DS referred to his Aunt, whose name is Kitty, as “Aunty Cunty”. He’s 2, it wasn’t deliberate, poor thing was very confused at his parents laughing so hard.

Was reminded of one my two year old does today. Not mispronouncing a word as such.

When she is pissed off at us and we ask her if she wants to do something. Like get dressed.

She will snap at us "No thank you very much"

Not quite the same but my 6 yo DD is adamant that her big toes are her "thumb toes".

My son was 3. He called the washing machine the wash bean. It remains the wash bean.

Ahh I love these. DS hasn’t started talking yet but is nearly there - can’t wait until we get some mispronunciations!

Bugger for Grandma.
Aww, come on. We all know he got that from Grandpa!

My DD used to tell visitors to shit....she meant sit....still makes me smile.

Patterlillar for caterpillar. Soo cute, I was very sad when ds2 started saying it correctly.
Ds1 told everyone I was in hopsital when I had ds2. But not to worry, I hadn't needed to go in an ambliance.
When ds1 was two he spotted a toy of his favourite film character in a shop. I remember him shouting "Doofus! Doofus!" and not having a clue that he actually meant Toothless the Dragon.

"daddy used the hooor" instead of a hoover. hangcoaters is still regularly used, and white was s*e for a very long time. Firework poo (diarrhea in the toilet bowl) was another that still gets a mention occasionally.

I always regret correcting my ds that the "tuckyouin" was called a duvet, he never used it again after I said it

Remembered another one - my DS used to say sideupdown instead of upside down ❤️

My other ds called flamingos flappingoes which I thought was good

And window chips for waffles!

I’ve so enjoyed reading these!

Several people have already similar:
“Mummy want big cock”
(Translates as “mummy, I want to look at the big clock, poor lady in Oxfam looked like she was going to have a heart attack!)

“Mummy want hard fuck”
(She wanted a proper metal fork for dinner instead of one of her usual soft plastic ones....very very hard to keep a straight face for that one)

“Granny likes a cum in bum”
(That one was very hard to explain to my friend. My MIL gave my DH a cummerbund from his dad, but I was laughing too hard to explain, especially as DD was delighted by my response and kept repeating it)

Many other less hilarious ones. I try to be a mature adult now I’m a mum, but it’s so hard sometimes

Amazing! Also I had ‘rat bries’ for raspberries today ☺️

‘Hoor’ In this house has always been horse. OH finds particularly funny, the period when DS insisted that ‘mummy is a hoor’ when trying (frequently) to get a piggyback 🤦🏻‍♀️

These are hilarious!!! We used to get 'pish- pingers.' He says it properly now but it was such a laugh when we were out for dinner!

My 4.5 year old says that ladies have pyramids every month

Black bellies are 2yo dd's current favourite fruit.

Ds used to say eyebulbs instead of eyeballs which I thought was incredibly cute.

My favourite was skelly coat for telescope.

“Dum stut” for stand up, “dorf” for dwarf.
My favourite arose because she was into Peter Rabbit and terrified of Mr MacGregor. At the same time, her nursery teacher was Mrs McKay, so she added “Mac” to every name. Our elderly neighbour, Mrs Pratt who she used to visit to cadge broken biscuits, was Mrs McPratt etc.

My DS2 at 28 months is full of these at the mo. I write them down as I did with DS1 because I know I'll forget them and love to look back on them. Currently the favourites are "fuk you" for thank you and "teetop" for teapot even though he can say tea and pot fine on their own. A few of both DSs mispronunciations and made up words are, and will continue to be, used forever!
Cumbumber, camiformula (California), poocher (computer), wheatens (raisins) etc etc
