Mummy look at those slags....

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 🙈

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

As an early yrs teacher I regularly saw 'couldn't ' spelt phonetically 'cu' 'n' 't' !

Yes!! I posted on this earlier!! DC learning words pronounced couldn’t
“Kuh” “Uh” “Nn” “Tuh” - CUNT!
with such a big proud smile 🤣🤣🤣
I’d thought this entirely original, glad a common mistake!!

Feckingfeck · 07/05/2022 21:51

Hahahaha!

I bet that makes marking fun!

The proud smile makes it even better!!

A colleague once taught a primary science lesson involving weights and forces. They used pairs of tights with different amounts of sand in them. A child wrote a lovely description of how Mrs. Smith’s tights were the longest and dangled down really low, and they were swinging the most. His attempt to spell ‘tights’ as ‘tits’ provoked much hilarity in the staff room!

…and in the most monumental blunder NOT by a child, I just posted the above on the wrong thread about a really sensitive topic 😱

Robinni · 07/05/2022 22:12

@JudgementalRaccoon this has really made me giggle. Bless Mrs Smith’s dangly tits and your blunders! 🙈😂

On a separate note... if you like racoons you make like a certain lemur thread?

my daughter says ‘ice cream’ and it sounds a lot like ‘ass cream’, which amuses me every time.

twice today she has dropped something and said ‘fucks sake’. Unfortunately this is not a mispronunciation and I will need to watch my language more carefully in future!! 😳

😂

A friend was called into school as when the teacher dropped something her DD announced to the whole class "oh fucking hell"

DS also learnt the word dick head at school... he didn't know what it meant so thought it was a good thing. He said "mummy i love you dick head" 🤦‍♀️😂

Ooh, I’m intrigued now! Which thread is this?

(disclaimer, I’m ambivalent about raccoons really! There was a thread a while back about someone checking to make sure their parents were recycling or something, and another poster commented along the lines of ‘going through their bins like some sort of judgemental raccoon’ which tickled me!)

Hottest day of 2021 and I'm stressed with weekly shop in asda and yes.... #sweatycrotch..... Whilst at a busy self checkout DD hugs my leg in my sweaty linen trousers and shouts to me "mummy have you wet yourself?" 😩😩😩😩

BabyBin · 07/05/2022 22:46

I rarely wear makeup, decided to use foundation once, while in the middle of a shop. DS turns and says "mummy, why are you all yellow like a simpson?"

Haven't used it since 😳😳😳😳

SuzyQ12 · 07/05/2022 22:59

Reading Stickman was highly amusing when my ds pronounced St as d

SuzyQ12 · 07/05/2022 23:05

Also, after learning colours in Spanish at school was calling them out (loudly) on the way home, and yelled orange (naranja) while running past a pair of elderly ladies, which sounded very much like 'na-wanker!'

WibblyWobblyLane · 07/05/2022 23:09

I once said "what an idiot!" When someone pulled out on me at a junction. Now dd goes around asking "mum,is that man an idiot?" To anyone. When they are in earshot 😬

Friend’s toddler pronounced blueberries as boobies. “I really like boobies, mummy can I have some more boobies?”

DS3 pronounces it like wee wees.

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!” 😳

Hahaha @Ducksgoquackk

This reminded me of a talk show in the U.S.

The hosts encouraged people to send in their worst Christmas gift experiences.
One woman sent in a photo of a gift her well-meaning MIL had given her:

It was a long, white T-shirt with a big, red “HO” printed on the front.

This was my son. He loved the song “My Grandfather’s Clock” and would belt it out. The song takes on a different meaning if clock is no longer clock.

You obviously haven't heard the 'Kevin bly Wilson' version then - bit like when I was taken to one of his shows as a surprise, not having a clue who he was and he started singing 'My grandfather's was an iddy biddy pr but his bs hug down to the ground' - I didn't know where to look, every song was like that 😱

My 2.5 year old loves playing with his trains. One of the pieces is called Cranky Crane but it sounds like F*cking crane. DH and I laugh every time!

Common spelling mistakes in infant school:
Fork -> fuck
Pennies -> penis

I love unfortunate child misspellings 🥰 I used to teach year 1 and 2 and every year, without fail, at least one child would write Prince as 'piss' and it made me smile every time 😁

They always pick up the one thing you wish they really hadn't heard don't they, yet are somehow unable to hear when you say it's time to tidy up or get ready for bed 🤦🏼‍♀️ my DS heard me mutter 'bloody hell' under my breath and now shouts 'oh bloody owl!' if he drops something.

In a public toilet with daughter. She bellows 'mummy! Why are you putting a pencil in your womens bits?!' It was a tampon
