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 .

Not mispronunciations, but just my daughter's way of putting things:

sunshine bike = deckchair

backdoorneighbourhood = the girls who lived over the back fence

My DS calls jam tarts,......jam hearts bless him!!

bubblegumsupermum · 02/10/2009 19:10

Oh just remembered another DS on holiday asked for a blue fluffy puppy,......he meant a blue slush puppy

flopalong · 02/10/2009 19:15

DS1 was 5 at the time, he was laughing while he drew a picture. I was breast feeding at the time so asked him to show me, he brought it over... "Mum I've drawn you...hehehhe...naked"
hmmm I say, at least you gave me knickers,
"No mum thats your leg eyebrows, took me a while to figure out what he meant lol.
Also my DD2 is always asking for a piss (kiss) very loudly.
DS 2 tells me when his food is "gall bod" (all gone)

DD has a few

Vermilla = Vanilla

Her boden beach dress is the 'Beast dress' (which we think is a far better name)

And the best one, that has passed into family parlance, is instead of asking 'who did xxx?', she says 'whobody did xxx?' Whobody is fab

Ds (2.10) told me today that 'Macca Pacca blows his strumpet when it's time to wash everyone's faces'.

He doesn't look the type, but I suppse it's more interesting than stones !

pointsmakeprizes · 02/10/2009 20:19

DS (who's 2.3) blows his nose with 'piss-you' paper and says 'mummy too dissicult' when he needs help. Iggle Piggle is 'Eeeegle Peeegle'. Best of all he says 'I lush mummy' when he's trying to tell me he loves me.

fizzdog · 02/10/2009 20:39

DD(4.5) still insists on

Hotelity room = utility room
Fourth head = forehead

Also comes out with lots of spoonerisms most of which I can't remember e.g. jack flap

when she was smaller, 'amma one' for another one or if really frustrated just 'amma amma' shouted at top of her voice

zebramummy · 02/10/2009 21:24

joseph and the multicoloured raincoat!!!

AllyOodle · 02/10/2009 21:35

We all use my DD's (4) phrase and ask for a Baby Annabel Cheese instead of a "mini Babybel cheese".

I love these

dairymoo · 02/10/2009 21:46

Both my DTs say 'asshole' for castle, and it took and embarassingly long time for DH and I to work out what they were trying to say.

"Mummy, mummy, look, bouncy asshole" finally gave it away...

bea · 02/10/2009 21:53

when dd2 wants to go without any shoes and socks... she asks can she run around in her 'spare feet'

mummyeme · 02/10/2009 21:57

Dd calls father christmas, farmer christmas too. Her friend also talks about Baby Cheeses for baby Jesus. The Nativity should be interesting
Dd also changes words around, so McDonalds is Old Mac Donalds! I love the way she calls things and dread the day her friend corrects her.

theslightlypeckishcaterpillar · 02/10/2009 22:01

DD1 - milk was mumpf
binoculars - oculass

I used to call a catalogue a catabook

outnumberedbymyboys · 02/10/2009 22:03

DS1

-'balu balu' for wheelbarrow - was gutted when he got this right.

  • 'old Macdonalds'(as in the farmer who also runs the well known fast food joint...). Reckon we must have been watching too much Jamie O in our house!

-again 'marks and spensive' -just too true!

My Gran

-'strimmer -frame'- the picture this conjures up!

bratley · 02/10/2009 22:41

Buzz Lightyear is Buzz I-Like-You

Doc Hudson from Cars is Doctor Car
Lightning MqQueen is Like-a-Queen

Boogie Beebies is Boobies, with Booby Pete!

DVDs are DVDVDs

Daddy works in the Harmy

Mummy works at the Hostacle and 'looks at boobies'! (that'll be Daddy explaining my job then )

Grand Old Duke of York is Grandads-Shoes-and-socks!

Our Fat controller is Fat Ch-cola

DS decided to pour his water on the floor one day, I asked him what happened and he shrugged and told me 'my's juice just felled on a floor Mummy'

So many more but I'll have to wait til he starts rambling tomorrow, can't think now...

LunarSea · 02/10/2009 22:48

ds1 talking to his friend about Dr Who.... friend "I'm a cyberman", ds1 "I'm a garlic"

chewitt · 02/10/2009 22:51

Hot day in the car - me: "It's ok I'll put the air conditioning on"
DS: "Mummy put air chicken on"

SquirrelTrap · 02/10/2009 22:56

Ds2 (4 at the time) declared that his taste buddies were better than ours because his food didn't need seasoning.

Cadmum · 02/10/2009 23:18

We had eyebrowns and eyeslashes for a spell. Another one that I was sad to hear self-corrected.

TheLadyEvenstar · 02/10/2009 23:35

ds2 has had me giggling tonight i asked dp for some monkey nuts and ds2 went around for next hour shouting MANKY nuts....

paranoiabigdestroyer · 02/10/2009 23:51

Budding Paxo DS1 aged 9 likes to discuss the affairs of Westminister with us.

We have also had garlic rather than dalek and Farmer Christmas.

KTP · 03/10/2009 08:42

After hurting his scrotum at nursery aged 3 (very PC nursery) DS1 started referring to this general area as is 'toastcrumbs'.

This became the preferred word at home, and has even been shortened to 'toasties', as in "ooo, he kicked me in the toasties". All his mates at school refer to them as that! They're now 9. Is this enough usage to contact the Oxford English Dictionary?

PatROTinyfeet · 03/10/2009 09:05

When my DS was under 3 he could not pronounce his letter L's at all. He also called all timepieces clocks. One day we were travelling on a train and were sitting opposite a man wearing an extraordinarily large watch. DS said in a very loud voice and pointing ''Look at that man's big cock''
