DS2 is 3, he can't pronounce "f" it comes out as an "s"

When walking today to collect DS1 from school we walked past some bunting (flags) and a group of ladies were stood underneath....

"Mummy, look at those slags"

Mortified.

Amongst his other finest moments are running alongside a man in a mobility scooter miming driving and shouting "beep, beep"

AIBU to think my child was born to embarrass me 😂

What words do children you know say that sound like something else?

What have your DC done that have embarrassed you?

Make me laugh to forget my own embarrassment 🙈

Ooooh yes. there is a big clock near DD's nursery.

She loves it, but can't pronounce Ls.

mum2jakie · 04/05/2022 21:34

Lol! My oldest used to struggle to pronounce the 'st' sound and also had a fascination with sticks ... Yes, he would race around shouting 'look at my big dick, mummy!' Oops....

i have a two year old and all I’m going to say is digger doesn’t sound like digger. It IS 1000000000000% digger they are saying but god it makes my toes curl.

sborber · 04/05/2022 21:37

Yep, my DS proudly shouted 'CAR' at a lovely gentleman in a mobility scooter one time. We've also had the cock for clock one.

veronicagoldberg · 04/05/2022 21:38

My DD likes to shout out "ASSHOLE" to remind me of our recent trip to a castle.

Workinghardeveryday · 04/05/2022 21:40

My ds used to pronounce forks as fucks.

everytime we ate out - ‘mummy, I want a fuck. Fuck mummy’ 😬

2anddone · 04/05/2022 21:41

@Feckingfeck I read your thread title and had a flashback to my ds (now 16) he used to say slags instead of flags all the time! He used to tell everyone he was going to have lots and lots of slags at his party 🤣....dd on the other hand used to drop her fork and shout 'uh oh fuck'Blush
Thanks for the memory trigger Flowers

My ds used to mispronounce can’t on a regular basis. That was fun. He’s 22 now and finds it amusing.

Bonjovispjs · 04/05/2022 21:43

I work as a nanny and when sat on a bus with the toddler I looked after, he pointed at a park where we often went to to feed the ducks and announced at the top of his voice "fucks, fucks, fucks" I was very happy when he learnt to say ducks properly😆

duvetdayforeveryone · 04/05/2022 21:43

DS1, 3yo, used to pronounce beach as "bitch" 😬

"Bitch... take me to the bitch!" 😳

WhatsHoppening · 04/05/2022 21:45

Pulled up next to a wheelchair user when DD was about 2.5 and she turned to the man and asked very loudly ‘why are you in a pram like me?’. The man was very friendly and gave a nice response but when it started going on it’s own when the lights changed she actually screamed ‘YOUR PRAM IS MAGIC’. Dying dying dead.

ShitHair · 04/05/2022 21:46

When my son pronounces "can't" it sounds like "cunt" so he will say "no you cunt!" 😅

sheepandcaravan · 04/05/2022 21:47

Dd sings loudly in the park

Seesaw bugger it all

Beees · 04/05/2022 21:47

Toddler DS can pronounce the word duck perfectly but on numerous occasions, always in the presence of many strangers, duck has become fuck, fucks mummy fucks or even better mama likes fucks. I'm convinced the tiny rugrat does it on purpose to cause maximum embarrassment. Blush

Ducksgoquackk · 04/05/2022 21:48

My daughter calls Santa Ho Ho. Walking back from the shop last Christmas and she proudly points at a lady in a Christmas jumper and shouts “Look Mummy, it’s a Ho Ho!” 😳

BeardieWeirdie · 04/05/2022 21:50

My daughter struggles with saying 100 in Welsh, but enjoys reciting so her numbers until she gets to a very loud, triumphant “100!”
The only problem is that it ought to be pronounced “cant”. I’m sure you can work out where I’m getting with this.

She also told nursery staff “I don’t like daddy touching me”. Explaining that she means she hates holding hands and would much rather run into the road was excruciating.

Madmaxxy · 04/05/2022 21:50

A little girl at the park today was shouting 'mummy I need a piss!' ....took me a few moments to realise she was on a swing and meant 'push' 😂

smith19784 · 04/05/2022 21:50

I love "your pram is magic" so cute!

I'm dd used to pronounce blanket as wanket.

Hallibob · 04/05/2022 21:51

My 3 year old is also a fan of "big dicks" (sticks) when we go to the park 😳

And recently he's taken to pronouncing monster as wanker "daddy, big wanker coming!" 🙈

Lets hope there isn't a monster with a stick 😂

Toddler DS had a love of waving flags around (maybe it was World Cup time). One day we walked round the supermarket while he declared, "I want my fags Mummy, I need my fags"

McT123 · 04/05/2022 21:55

My niece had parents who were very keen not to use euphemisms for body parts - no willies or tuppences for them. This resulted in a visit from the local vicar ending with my niece asking, "have you got a penis under that dress?"

pinkstripeycat · 04/05/2022 21:55

Not mispronunciation but embarrassing for his DM; my DH, as a child, pointed to a man with one leg and shouted at the top of his voice (whilst on the bus) “Mummy! Where’s his other leg?”

My nephew, aged 2.5yrs (now 23yrs) pointed to a heavily made up lady and shouted “Look there’s a clown mummy!”

Mine did that too, he told a group of giggling teenage hikers once that "my Daddy has a big dick!" (DH was carrying a large stick they'd found together). I was absolutely mortified, DH just smirked and said "that's right, son" 😳
