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 little brother used to say helly-hopter for helicopter and thanks to him we all still say bref-kist for breakfast.

He is turning 27 quite soon...

Hehe, these are hilarious! :o DD1 (4) calls receipts riff-tiffercates which I love. She also does an impression of the woman in Rio when she says vitamins (American pronunciation) but instead she says spider-mints :o

When she was 2 she used to say blenna for umbrella and still calls breakfast brefix! When DSD was nearly 3 and asked what she wanted for lunch, she would reply slices and mittermatoes! Apparently slices weren't ham or cheese so we never worked out what she actually meant.

DS (5) still wakes us up with "Come on, you have to get up, it's light time!"

DS at 6 still says "I was upposed to" for supposed to

I still say Glubs (gloves)

My DS3 (3) says, "I spy, little my eye..." Now we all say it this way as it's so cute.

DD used to confuse crumpets and armpits

we still sometimes have armpits for tea

DS2 calls cashew nuts atchoo nuts which is so cute we have all adopted it.

He also says "Please may can I have x?" when asking for something.

He's 7 now so I suppose we should put him right!

Oh my word, I have tears rolling down my face, can't stop laughing at this thread.

Our favorite is DD's (3.9). Favourite film at Xmas was Barbie in the Nutcracker (as in the ballet).

DD insists on calling it 'the Knockpacker'.

'Willyfingers' are used by DS to terrorise his baby sister, plus any visitor he takes a dislike to. He stalked our Structural Engineer around the house, shouting "I got WILLYFINGERS" ...no wonder the poor bloke cocked up the calculations for the loft extension

we eat mavilla icecream with our roast laaarrrmb lunch!

Ahh love these! DD2 says she has a "tummy egg" instead of tummy ache.

DS used to say hatdoctor for helicopter. He called his penis my pesin . A few years later we were in Pisa having a hard time getting a hotel and DH and I got a bit hysterical talking about the Pisans who were so unhelpful.
We stil say dinder for dinner, courtesy of DD,

Shoomice - took me about four weeks to work out what DD3 (2½) meant and it's now stuck as the name for mushroom risotto. Remote is called the mote since my DD1 named it that about 17 years ago.

The boot of a car is still (40 years later) called the Berryback after I named it that when I was 1.

A muslin cloth has been known as a 'di' since my DSis walked around for two hours howling for her 'di'. None of us knew wtf she was on about until she found it, stamped her feet hard on the spot saying 'This. Is. A. Di' when she was about two. She's now 29 and we still call a muslin a di with my children and nephews and nieces.

Raderator for radiator is my favourite of DS1's, he's four so I should correct him more really...

Tillyscoutmum - titty is an old Scottish word for sister, so he is not wrong. Your son is very erudite!

Mimmie - Minnie (mouse, not vulva)
Big gob - Iggle Piggle
Goggie - her cousin Lucas

She's 21 months and am dreading it when she stops coming out with classics like (said in a vaugley surprised but not worried voice) "Oh no, a bear!"

I still say 'meenies' instead of mayonnaise as that's what my (much younger) sisters called it. Also hopsital. It seems like that is a hard word for wee ones to get their heads round.

Ds is just at that stage and I'm going to write them down just because I don't want to forget them.

The duvet is the "tuck you in"
When on about bibs, hats, etc it is always a bib-on a hat-on as though thats the noun.

Last winter when we came home from nursery he used to keep going on about "bhuna" odd we thought as he was never around when we ate curry, turns out it was the moon!

He was obseesed by the moon, he still calls my breast pads moons - I suppose they do look like them and its easier than explaining breast pads to him!

We hired ds1 a kilt for a family wedding when he was 2. We told him we were going to the shop to try the kilt on. From ten on he always called it a kilton.

Really must correct him nex ttime I hear him singing baa baa black shit

DC1 used to say "fridge" instead of "bridge" - we all still say "fridge" which annoys DC1 who is nearly 5 now!

Checkouts are still "Payfers" in our house - as in "We need to go and pay-fer it"

Lawnmama - lawnmower
I'm going to dit on the dofa - I'm going to sit on the sofa
Dopysole - doversole

misunderheard instead of misunderstood is now used in our house thanks to DS2, it makes much more sense.

Dotodile (crocodile) and undadas (sunglasses) were the favourites in my family. Also wol (owl), wop (wasp), skeel (squirrel).
