Oh I know it's been done before but I wanted to share these ones from ds (3)...

I like boobies (blueberries).

Can we go and collect some fellas? (feathers).

Please share your own .

The Lot Less Monster (Loch Ness Monster) - from my 6 and 9 Year olds !

Jamieandhismagictorch · 01/10/2009 17:48

Lakota My DS used to say "Noodles and Woozles" instead of pins and needles (I think we'd just been reading Winnie the Pooh - Heffalumps and Woozles)

dd calls her brothers testicles 'tentacles'

Vivia · 01/10/2009 17:55

My brother as a child referred to the guy from Thomas the Tank Engine as the Fucking Troller.

TLE

When DS1 was a toddler he used to get his pronouns mixed up. Hence one day he announced very loudly in a posh shop "Mummy, you've done a poo"

TheLadyEvenstar · 01/10/2009 18:36

Jamie it is funny but not when you have a shop full of people raising their eyebrows at you lol.

worse thing he has started doing is saying wee wee....well thats not too bad in itself but he was sitting here a few months ago and grabbed his willy looked at me and said "wdat" (whats that) so I said "its your willy" i got a "WHY" in reply and i then said "because thats where you do a wee wee".....NOW whenever he is undressed he grabs his willy and shouts "wee wee". and poor dp and ds1 have him shouting at them too when they are in the shower.....how on earth am i going to stop him shouting wee wee??? because it is embarrassing!!!

thebody · 01/10/2009 18:49

once on a crowded and very quiet train I was talking about how fur kept animals warm in the winter, felt really smug as I was having such an educated conversation with my children,( how wonderful was I as a mother) and he said' Mummy you know all that fur round your bottom, is that to keep you warm' very loudly and very clearly.. red face and laughter from fellow passengers..

TheLadyEvenstar · 01/10/2009 19:06

thebody lol

mummee09v · 01/10/2009 19:13

why it wad a "fucking" elephant i will never know!!!!

(need to tone my language down i think....

5inthebed · 01/10/2009 19:46

DS1 refers to naked people as "knickered"

DS2 says "crocerdaniels" instead of crocodiles and "McDaniels" instead of McDonalds. He is also called Daniel

EsmeWeatherwax · 01/10/2009 19:46

My dd1 has quite clear diction, but we get T-ghetti, which is spaghetti, and sostages for sausages.

We were at the seaside the other week and I was eating fish and chips with a pickled onion, she asked whats that, and I said a pickled onion...so she turns round and announces at the top of her voice, "Daddy, mummy is a little bit pickled!"

If only....

PurpleEglu · 01/10/2009 19:56

Have remembered another one of ours.

We have Jumpolene for trampoline.

whethergirl · 01/10/2009 20:25

My ds aged 4 has never called the remote control by it's proper name. First he used to call it the Fat Controller, and now he calls it the Full Control for some reason.

LauraGas · 01/10/2009 20:29

Am at home at mo having suffered a stroke over the summer. No lack of movement but speech went to pot for a while. Some classics from me include:

Elephant instead of element (on washing machine)

"I've had a scrote" instead of "I've had a stroke"

and after the initial scan showed I had no tumour delightedly said to the consulatant "so I don't have a tuna then".

Nanga · 01/10/2009 20:31

my son always asks for a quick snack to 'get him going' (keep him going)

Jamieandhismagictorch · 01/10/2009 20:33

Laura . Sorry to hear that. All the best with your recovery ....

< snort at "tuna" >

littlemisslozza · 01/10/2009 20:54

DS1 aged 2.1 says 'At-choo Mummy' for 'thank you Mummy' So sweet!

monkeypinkmonkey · 01/10/2009 21:03

'calm your temperatures' for calm your passions
and 'no way horsey' for no way jose!

fedupindarlo · 01/10/2009 21:05
