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 🙈

DS1 and I called in on DH at work one day during school holidays (he is a Head and had some meetings). DS1 was about 4. School caretaker was a very strange man. Strange looking. Strange mannerisms but canny.
DS1 - very uncomfortable with caretakers mannerisms and fascinated by his appearance 'Mummy is that man from another world?'

When he was about 2-3 he said 'dic-dic' for biscuit. 'Dick Dick!' 'Mummy Dick Dick over there' 'I want Dick Dick'.

He was obsessed with doing a poo and would ask PIL about poos 'I done a big poo today- did you do a big poo granny?'
'Did you do a 'normous poo grandad- I did'.

My youngest dd's favourite meal was always spaghetti bollocknaise.

HisHX · 04/05/2022 22:17

Proud announcement - “Grandad taught me how to wank”. Thankfully followed with a WINK.

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.

This made me laugh so much 😂 Absolutely adorable

PinkButtercups · 04/05/2022 22:17

My nephew was 2 at the time he's 9 now lol.
I had a parcel coming by DPD and I had an email saying 'parcel will arrive today by Steve' so I said parcel Steve will drop my parcel here today.
'ASSHOLE STEVE' Blush. He definitely meant parcel.

When I was young I used to say fuck room instead of front room Hmm.

Oh god @Notanotherwindow that is toe-curlingly brilliant.

Last week at a toddler group with DS (22mo) everyone was introducing themselves and when it was his turn, in response to ‘what’s your name?’ he paused, grinned and said ‘Ku Klux Klan’ 😱
Clear as anything. The subsequent silence seemed to go on for at least 10 minutes.

OP’s original running along miming driving at the mobility scooter user is also fantastic. Beep beep!

My brother was asked what he was called in similar circumstances and at a similar age. He just shouted “mind your own bloody business” at the man who’d asked!

Youngest couldn’t say l and used to call watches clocks… without the L. She had looked at DPs watch every 30 seconds all day until he told her to give him a rest from it, she didn’t mention it for an hour or so. Sat in a busy doctors waiting room and she said “Daddy when can I see your cock again”

Flavourflava · 04/05/2022 22:19

We're really struggling with sit.

"Shit, mummy. Shit there. Mummy, shit!"

Everywhere, all the time.

Also "bloody hell, Daddy" but that is entirely my fault. I said it ONE TIME when she could barely speak getting her pram out of the ridiculous place he'd put it. Then I laughed ONE TIME when she said it weeks later when I put her in the pram. It cannot be undone now. The damage is done.

In a changing room at the local pool, just my son, me and a naked lady in the process of getting dressed. The lady was slightly plump but only slightly. My son, points in her direction and shouts, “Mummy, look a fat pig” I’m mortified, have no words and no idea what to say or why he would say that, not a phrase he would have been exposed to. To add to the awfulness he repeats it a number of times, probably because I am doing my best to ignore him. The releif I felt when I spotted a pig keyring hanging on a peg.

I’m crying at this 🤣🤣🤣

randomchap · 04/05/2022 22:20

My DS was obsessed with clocks when he was about 2 and would loudly point them out whenever he saw them.

Unfortunately he couldn't pronounce the L

What is your AIBU OP?

I wondered if it was "AIBU that all these children are hilariously racist and fatphobic?" but maybe not...

My ex used to like playing Tom Jones music in his car. 2 year old son learned some of the words. When in supermarket he started asinging at top of his voice sex bomb, sex bomb you my sex bomb. I could have died.

Dd sings loudly in the park

Seesaw bugger it all

Much better than the original, I think!

OgdensGoneNutFlake · 04/05/2022 22:21

Bought DS (4) a toy lizard wearing pyjamas, which he calls ba-jarmas.
He told the lady in the bakery he had a new lizard with a ba-gina.

Cherryana · 04/05/2022 22:21

When ds was tiny tiny (2 ish) he dropped his ice cream and said ‘oh fuck’.

(We rarely/never swear in our family)

PeekabooAtheZoo · 04/05/2022 22:21

Reading Rabbit's Nap, there's a bit where the story says "whack, crack, what's that?" and he always repeats the line, but he pronounces it "crap, crap, wossat?"
Queue a lecture from MIL when he said it in front of her. Apparently children of the 70s and 80s never, ever mispronounced words.

When I was small, I was on the Underground and asked my mum, "Why are they called Black people when they have brown faces?" While staring at a Black woman next to us. Apparently she agreed with me.

Booboobagins · 04/05/2022 22:23

A male friend visited a work colleague. They finished their meeting and he was on his way out His colleagues DD (aboyt 6 or 7) said, 'Did you know my mums got hairs down there they are brown and curly and there are lots of them?' My friend said he said 'Oh right' to the child, 'Bye' to everyone else and ran out the door.

The next day his colleague repeated the story in the office....

DemBonesDemBones · 04/05/2022 22:23

My #3 pronounced S as F for a really long time. One day on the school run he sped past his Dad and brother on his scooter happily shouting 'see you later, fuckers!' 😆

Bollocknaise lasted a few years 😂 as did the less rude but cute glubs (gloves)

Could have written this about my just turned 3 year old. Everytime we go mcdonalds the woman that cleans the tables presents him with a slag.

He also like to say "nana's dick" (stick) as in walking stick 🙈

couchparsnip · 04/05/2022 22:25

DD used to do the cock for clock one. She added another level of embarrassment by describing a watch as a 'tiny cock'. So she would point to wrists - which are generally at crotch level and say 'tiny cock'. I died, especially when she did it to women!
