My DD (2) a few months ago, when her language was just emerging, would say 'tea-cup-bag' for a cup of tea, now it's evolved to 'cuppa-tea-bag' Grin

Many years ago our daughter came home from Kindergarten very upset. SHe had a letter she didn't want to give me, once I got it and read it it was about the Bring and Buy Sale. She was adament we shouldn't go, eventually I found out that she'd heard Bring A Bicycle, she thought you took your bike and brought something else home. She's the same one who insisted on singing all of Away in a Manger to Father Christmas, he couldn't shut her up, I've not finished, There's a lot more!

I have one of those huge lint rollers for removing dog hair from my bed. 18 month old DS has recently started picking it up, striking the walls and shouting "spider, spider, kill it, kill it" 😂🕷️

When my DS was younger (hes 6 now) he pointed at a flower and asked "what's that" so I explained it was a dandelion and that it started off yellow but when it was ready to seed it turned white and the wind, or little children, blew the seeds away. He looked at me, pointed at the flower and said "no, windylion, wind blows the seeds" I much prefer that name so its stuck.
He couldn't say ketchup when he first started talking so called it Dip Dip which we still call it now.
The other month he was trying to tell me about a new song he was doing in school, and I swear on all that is holy that he said "Birds Arent Alive" que him pissing himself laughing, me assuring him that they are and him trying his best, while laughing, to repeat what he said, that led to me thinking he then said "Burgers For Life" which was also incorrect. Finally worked out he meant "Birds Dont Just Fly"
Another one I'll add here to make you all giggle.
A friends little girl couldn't say chocolate. One day we are in the supermarket and she screams at the top of her lungs "mummy I want cock, why wont you let me have cock" I was dying with laughter and her mum went fluorescent red and was shouting "she means chocolate".

When DD was very young we were out at a hotel for Christmas lunch. All the kids had the chance to sit with Father Christmas and get a present. When it was her turn, Father Christmas asked, "What did you get for Christmas?" She stared at him, and then said, incredulously, "You should know - you brought it."

Eleanora · 18/12/2019 13:20

When DS was about 7, we were visiting relatives and I showed him where I used to cycle to school. He said ‘Was that on one of those penny farthing things?’

Winterdaysarehere · 18/12/2019 13:30

I remember years ago ccoking a meal for very fussy ils, very fussy and moany in general tbh.
Ds pre teen decided the time was the appropriate moment to announce the arrival of his first pubes.
Have you ever seen a pensioner choking on lasagne? They do turn a strange colour..

My DS2 has started adapting the "Go jetters" theme song lyrics. So I walked around Tesco today with him singing

"Go go, go go, go mama!" And
"Go go, go go, go Christmas!"

It's like he's the worlds official cheerleader!

SimonJT · 18/12/2019 16:25

A friend stayed over last night, he didn’t get up this morning when we did. Just before we left the school my son marched in the bedroom, pulled the duvet off and said “if you stink in bed any longer you’ll turn into a pig” that’s what I do to him when he refuses to get up. It did work, but as soon as we left he went back to bed!

DontGoIntoTheLongGrass · 18/12/2019 16:31

On way home last night from Morrisons with dd aged 4 she stated when she gets bigger she wants to give everyone in the world food. Cue my big head so proud she's so giving...then she stated "yes I want to be a McDonald's food giver" 😂

WithTwilightAsMyGuide · 18/12/2019 18:17

I have loads from my twin DDs. All very outing, if you know me! Under 6 for all of these:

DH: You were the wrong way ‘round in bed this morning
DT1: That was so the worm didn’t spit at me

DT1: I’m writing a letter to hell. All of hell. I’m doing hell writing. To hell. Love from DT1.
Then a few minutes later...
DT1: This letter is for hell. I mean France.

DT2: I’m going to do a massive wee. It will be up to here (gesturing to ceiling). It will be a Christmas wee and I will put sparkly balls on it.

DT2: (playing with doll) I can’t find anything to dry her hair
DT1: (picks up toy gun) found something to dry her hair! (Shoots doll in head 3 times) All done!

DT2: I can’t make my doll sit down! (Dolls leg falls off)
DT1: that’s one way to make her sit down!

DT2: I can’t make my balloon float!
DT1: it won’t float. It hasn’t got comedian gas in it

Me: Shall we make Jurassic Park? (With play dough)
DT2: yeah!!
DT1: I’m gonna make a dead guy!

DH brought Little Anne home to prep for lesson at work. DT2 opens the bag and screams, “argh! There’s a dead human in there!”

DT1 also asked for a musical jewellery box, with a dancing ballerina in it. But instead of a ballerina, she wanted a dancing dinosaur. So my mum and uncle replaced a ballerina in one with a dinosaur for her Grin

WithTwilightAsMyGuide · 18/12/2019 18:20

Oh, and:

DT2: DT1, do hairdressing on me!
DT1: okay!
DT2: ouch!!
Me: DT1, hairdressers don’t just kick people Hmm

Lordfrontpaw · 18/12/2019 18:21

I’m not sure how funny this is - when DS was little (and not so very little) he looks at me and smiles - ‘mummy?’
‘Yes dear’
‘Were you always a girl...?’

Gee, thanks kid...

RedRec · 18/12/2019 18:38

Long time ago now but a family classic: had to deliver something to the vicarage, vicar answered the door. My daughter, aged three tugged on my hand and said "Mummy, what's God doing here? He lives in the church".

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 18/12/2019 18:44

DD was getting an award at school today. She's rather skinny, so we have to really tighten adjustable waistbands etc. Unfortunately her skirt today wasn't tightened enough... And the majority of the school was treated to the sight of her bare bottom for a few seconds as the pants and tights followed the gravity of the skirt... DH and I managed to contain our giggles...

WithTwilightAsMyGuide · 18/12/2019 20:55

Had another one getting DTs ready for bed tonight!

DT2: there’s a noodle in my hair!
DT1: eat it!
Me: Noooo! Don’t eat it, it’s been in your hair!
DT1: tries to eat it
I tell DT2 to take it to the bin in the kitchen
DT2 (from downstairs): it’s in the bin!
DT1: Mmmmm! Bin noodle!

My three year old put on a ballet performance for me and DH the other night, she named it “Take the Ball.” She then got annoyed with her daddy and told him boys weren’t allowed to watch and made him stand at the end of the room. Grin

When she was two and a half and I was in the middle of breastfeeding her in conjunction with eating toast, she proudly told me we were sharing the toast as I was eating it and then it was going through my boobies into her!

This week she has started saying “Oh, MOTHER!” When I say something she doesn’t like. Along with “Cool huh.” I’ve got no idea where she’s got this from!

She also keeps calling me “Mummy Kangaroo”, bouncing up to me and then asking me lots of questions about kangaroos. This has literally lasted all day. Apart from about an hour, where she kept referring to me as “the Visitor.” Confused

Last week I had to be Ryder from Paw Patrol. For an entire afternoon.

My youngest grandchild a few weeks ago said to my husband ' grandad, in the olden days, did you have to go up chimneys? '
I had to bite a cushion to stop myself laughing out loud.
We've just turned 50 😂

Osirus · 19/12/2019 00:59

One day last week I asked my three year old how she was feeling and she replied “fine.” Then she said “I am feeling something actually.” I asked her what she was feeling, and her reply “a bit emotional.”

She was a bit up and down that day, so she was right!

Mypathtriedtokillme · 19/12/2019 03:59

My 2 year old and 5 year old had an argument today about what Santa is called.
5 year old says Santa while her sister refuses to believe his name is anything but the “Ho Ho Man”.

30daysoflight · 19/12/2019 04:45

Many years ago my dsis was teaching my niece 4 about not talking to strangers.
My dsis then asked her what she would do if a stranger gave her a sweet. Her reply was 'spit it out '.
We all burst out laughing, back to the drawing board on that lesson

nativityhumbug · 19/12/2019 04:48

My ds is enjoying going out on night walks to see Christmas lights. He squeals with excitement, "it's bitch plack outside Mama" 😂

saturdaynightgin · 20/12/2019 18:35

DD (just turned 4) announced that she’s going to be a sticky dancer like the one on Nanna’s tv.. she meant strictly 🙈

She says cimumma instead of cinema, turch instead of church and balonge instead of blacmange Xmas Grin
