Endearing things DCs say wrongly that you don't correct

[AndSheRose]

As in when they are tiny and learning to speak obv, not revising for Oxbridge entrance exam...

Mine are 'Larf!' for the note that follows 'Sew' in the song Doe a Dear, 'turk-noise' for turquoise, oh and she likes to eat a nice 'cereal bath' every so often. She has recently adapted 'Grandad' to 'Dadgrandad' having noticed I address him as 'Dad'. My Speech Therapist sister used to encourage her very early habit of saying 'moo' when she saw a dog because she found it hilarious, but I drew the line there...

Bit of indulgence for the weekend and I am sick so could use the distraction!

My dd (3) still calls gloves glubs, penguins are wing-wings (love that!). She ALWAYS misses 1 when counting..and substitutes eleventeen for eleven.
She's outgrown gilk for milk and bobodee for bumblebee...was sad to see (hear?) those ones go.

Nearly exploded with held in laughter one night...I was on story duty...on the trip upstairs my OH shouted "night night mucker!", dd angelically replied "night night @!*#er!!, see you tomorrow!!". Hehe..still gets me, so proud!

My DS says "tiss" for Kiss and "tuddle" for cuddle. When he is annoyed with me he says " that's it Mummy no more tisses or tuddles for you" I love it I'll miss it when he can finally sound his k's!

My youngest has just self-corrected her word for helicopter from cockycocker to hairycockter. Not sure which is funnier.
She also gave me a birds & bees lesson.... "When M was in your tummy, and L and I (she's a twin) were made of glass....... We were waiting in your legs"

my niece, having only ever read the word in a book, calls female sheep (ewes) "eeewees"

I've remembered he also used to put 'doo' at the beginning of everything.

"Doocause I want a doonana"

These are brilliant. We share some of these with others, which I would never have guessed.

Dd (5yo) says "Farmer" Christmas, which I've seen a few times on here.

Also "upposed" for "supposed"

And "un-cuter" for "computer"

My 2yo DD says joe gurts for yoghurts and despite being able to pronounce both the words love and you when put together we get fuffee :O (which I will be so sad to lose)
Slippers are flippers
Grandma is manma
Nappy is a mappy
There are loads at the moment, makes me laugh. Will hate when she can say everything correctly!!

DS was down by the swimming pool & shouts "Mummy, Daddy's left his testicles down here"!!! What he actually meant was Daddy had left his pool "test kit" down by the pool.

Dd used to call rice crispies pee pees and her cousin Christopher she called Pisser. Still use the same words today.

DS (2.5) has grown up with a large marine aquarium, and so when he looks at the night sky he shouts "starfish". Too many trips to London Zoo have also now caused him to say "jellyfish" when looking at the foodstuff.

I'm contemplating "twinkle twinkle little starfish, how I wonder what you arefish" when he starts nursery in 2 weeks....

DD1 looked out the patio doors at the six inches of snow in the garden, where a little bird had been hopping along leaving 'froottrimps'.

DD2 had 'Nuggles' instead of knuckles, and her favourite colour was Burble.

Now 30 and 29 respectively.

My dd told me all about these skinny pigs she'd seen. Turns out they were guinea pigs.
She used to say lellow for yellow, pussbag for bagpuss and bullpit for pit bull.
And once we were in the shop and she looked down at the frozen food section and said (really loudly) disgusted "oooo yuck birds eyes".

I loved DS calling his umbrella an umbebella and was gutted when he started saying it correctly. I'm deliberately teaching DD to call it an umbebella!!

dS just started school and I was informed that he had attended 'dissembly' with all the the other children.

TheSherbetTurbot sounds about right!

could not correct DS1 when he had a new School Unicorn for the start of Reception!

DS says that I have "whirly hair" for curly hair.

oh, and now is in Year 1 and if I say have you got your school unicorn ready? he gives me a withering look as if to say 'don't be so stupid mother'

DS (now 12) used to call his Grandpa's moustache a "bishmash"... oh, and pronounced "sausages" "shoshages" a la Mutley. Super sweet!

my DD calling her uncle 'aunty guy"
we actively encourage that

DD has been wearing plip-plops all summer. I feel really sad that by the time she wears them again next year she'll know what they're really called.

Oh and hoss-boss buns

My 3 year old occasionally looks at me sympathetically and says 'Would you like a piece of quiet Mummy?'

DS1 (3) says ovelives for olives and Oviler for Oliver.

Also baliance for ambulance (took me ages to work that one out!) and effalunt for elephant.

The last line of Row Your Boat is "alpha but a dream" and it's "baa baa black sheep, have you had any wool", which is a much more logical construction!

When DS1 was about 2 years old we drove past a helicopter and so far as I recall it was his first attempt at this brilliant new word - lollydipdop - it stuck for ages and was soooo cute. He tries it now to charm us, but it doesn't quite ring the same from at strapping ten year old.... :o
