When DS was younger and the sun was getting in his eyes, he would dramatically fling his arm over eyes declaring indignantly "the sun is looking at me!"

We still say it now he's a strapping teenager.

My daughter is married to a Frenchman. Their 3 year old is bilingual - but not so fluent in English. I discovered that the French for a seal (animal) is phoque- pronounced fock- when I took DGS to the zoo where he pointed at one and shouted - Nanny fuck. My daughter had to put me straight.

DS2 has always been a bit precious and today retched licking an envelope

I said to DS1, have you got the sun in your eyes? He heard 'have you got sunny eyes? Now the whole family complain when they have 'sunny eyes'

When dd was younger about 4, we were in Asda, and she couldn't reach the yoghurts she wanted so she said to her dad -
'excuse me dad, would you be a dear and just pass me them yoghurts?'
She sounded like an old lady 😂😂

My 2yo seems to come out with some hilarious stuff! A few of my fav are:
1/ she can’t say fox it comes out sounding very much like foc (f*ck). So can get some funny looks when she’s start asking where the foc is gone etc.
2/ on FaceTime to my mum yesterday. As she sqinted, my LG pointed to my mums wrinkles on her forehead and said ouchie nana 😂
3/ She has begun telling EVERYONE that she needs a wee wee or wants to go potty 😆

When she was 2 we took dd1 on holiday to Centre Parcs. Got in our villa, looked out the back door and dd piped up “Look mummy, look at all those...scurries!”

Squirrels will forever be scurries in our house. I’m not even sure if 2.5yo dd2 knows what they’re supposed to be called!

I posted a thread a while back about my 13 year old who thought she had a 'bummed up nose' and wouldn't believe me when I told her it was 'bunged up'

My four year old at our wedding reception in September shouted out of the blue, 'Boris Johnson is an idiot' Not sure where she's got that from.....HmmBlush

WellVersedInEtiquette · 13/12/2019 20:04

Four year old was telling his dad all about the 'camel service' they did at school. Definitely not a carol service. He also sings 'deck the halls with poison berries'

DS1 (now 17) was 2 years old and nearing potty training time. He still had no clue when he needed to go but didn't like the feel of it in his nappy when he'd actually been, particularly if he'd had a poo. So he starting removing his poos and depositing them in bizarre places such as inside the driver's compartment of his toy train. And one day, I'd just come back from the supermarket and there directly in front of our door was a small DS poo, where he'd posted it out through the letterbox!

OMG my DC is only 15 months but I literally can't wait for the funnies! Some of these are hilarious. Bless their little cotton socks!!

DaveGrohlsMrs · 13/12/2019 20:16

My just 3 year old daughter calls giraffes “Jaffs”. Chicken nuggets are “huggers” and when she saw a tall man the other day she said “he’s tall mama! I not tall, I just the right size!” My eldest daughter (5) calls our local shopping centre Silvybum (Silverburn). I’m still cracking up over “bum beard” Grin

DaveGrohlsMrs · 13/12/2019 20:17

Yuggets not huggers!!!

I was in M&S trying on some bras (largish size!) and DD, then aged about 6 or 7, was getting bored. To distract her I foolishly asked what she thought of the one I was trying on.

In a clear, distinct, voice she said 'it's too small Mummy, your booby is falling out of the sides'.

I heard someone in the next cubicle choking as they tried not to laugh, and waited until I heard them leave before I went out

Grin

She was right, though...

My 3yo described one of the 'lady's' at nursery. "She has a shirt, a funny face, a big nose and funny walkings"

Sheilasfeels · 13/12/2019 20:19

My nearly 3yo dd is obsessed with jokes, hearing them and making them up. Her best one so far: why did the three mummies cross the road? Because VROOOOOOOOOM

itgetshardereveryday · 13/12/2019 20:21

He also says "tease may I?" For everything he wants to do and says "you are most welcome" when I say thank you for something Grin

My two year old son had my shoes on. He tried to convince me they were his.

My little boy , when younger called you tube ‘the looney tube’

Namechangerextraordinaire1 · 13/12/2019 20:25

@MrsTommyShelby my dd used to say "yes my majesty" to me at a similar age, how funny!

My favourite mispronunciations when she was small were henguins for penguins and squeals for squirrels. And grandad was jandad. Cute.

She is always making me laugh. She saw one of those cosy coupe cars in a smyths booklet when I was looking at presents for her birthday on a Saturday lunchtime one year. "I like this" she told me. "Oh, would you like it for your birthday?" I asked. "No, not for my birthday mummy, for my Saturday"

As usual whenever you try and remember things I can only draw a blank on other funny stories. Kods are actually hilarious

SandwhichGenerationGal · 13/12/2019 20:25

Took DD to work with me when she was about 4/5. She asked one of my colleagues if she was rich. Colleague said no so DD suggested she sell some of her gold teeth 🙄

Also aged 3/4 we were on a train. Random woman started chatting and asked her if she was a good girl. DD said no, I’m very naughty and my mummy smacks and kicks me! (I have never, ever laid a finger on her).
When I asked her why she had said that she replied ‘oh I was only joking’ 😳

WellVersedInEtiquette · 13/12/2019 20:26

The pink bear from toy story was a favourite of my middle daughter. He was called 'Lotso Huggin' Bear'
She couldn't say it right and called him 'Lotso Fuggin' Bear'! In her version the bear sounded obscene!

My nephew, aged about six, said he had felt a bit unwell at school, and his teacher had told him to sit down because he looked “as white as a sheep”. Well, he had seen sheep in the fields, and he’d always had stripy sheets on his bed!
