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!

At the beach when DS1 was about 4 he was excitedly telling me he was going to collect craps (crabs)
I thought there was probably as much chance of finding a crap.

DD pronounces "sausage" as "shoshage"
She says "demember" instead of "remember" and once said "dismember"

She leaves the L out of "clock"

mine- and all their cousins, from 7-14- all say "verse"- as in "can I verse you at Pokemon?"

...it comes from versus

we let the big boys do it when they were little, because we thought it was cute- now haven't the heart to tell em that it's not a word. The longer it goes on the harder it gets

skwee-woo = squirrel.

We still use it, 12 years later.....

My DD used to say dic-a-na-peared instead of disappeared which has always made DH laugh.

DS up until recently called his sister Bear, which is odd as it doesn't even sound like her name. He also says booeys instead bogeys and boozies instead of boobies.

dd who's 6
nickle - nipple
conservation - conversation
muggled - muddled

I will be devastated when DD starts saying "very" properly - at the moment she says "vevy" :)

Erebus. Weewol! for squirrel. Took me AGES to figure that one out.

Buttfly and bumbee always mke me giggle.

Baa baa black sheep have you any more? One little body down a lane, yeah!

My DS 2.5 has a but of a problem with his f's and says ......

"look mummy slags, lurrrrve slags"

(for flags, he is flag mad unfortunately!)

My son's favourite food was sketty bolaise, but he was quite fond of fintatoes and runstibles as well. We used to go shopping at the stupid market.
For some unknown reason, when he had a big poo, he called it a crispy narna, and some family members still refer to it as that now!
My nephew once got fixated on a song he knew only as "Dunjeeee" and insisted that we played it for him. After ransacking the record collection and playing every single track we had, we finally found out he was referring to "Fodderstompf" from the Public Image album. When it came on, he started singing, "We only dunjeee to be laa" as the chorus. Strange child.

DS1 says "sneeze me" when he sneezes. V cute and I havent the heart to correct him

DS is 9. He says "haft-ed to" instead of "had to". He's completely articulate on everything else but this sounds so sweet I just let him get on with it.

Ds calls underpants - umberpants!

Oh yeah and DD also says demorea instead of diarrhoea!

DS 1 calls chihuahua's cheeky wow wow's. Now we all do, even dh.

My little girl, 2.5, says toilet group instead of toddler group. She says it correctly when reminded, until the next time.

PFB (and the rest if us now) says nice-cream for ice-cream :)

DD went up to my brother in law upon first meeting him and said 'I'm DD and I am two and tortoise' (two and three quarters) she is now 16 and we ALL say it. i.e at the moment I am 39 and a tortoise.
DD also always called a magazine, a mazageen.

DS (3) says 'but Mummy, I AM being have!' when we tell him to behave. He thinks we're telling him to be have . He also thinks it's Fime and Sam, not Fireman Sam. I'm not sure who he thinks Fime is though .

Oh oh, and a moustache is a spidosh. Love that one!

My DD1 was weirdly articulate and the only cute wrong word she ever said was "Bliter" or blister. I clung onto Bliter for far to long. DD2 says many cute things...Minty minty pider climbing up the spout is a nice one!

Plug = Lid
Boot = Porch
Cat flap = Kit Kat
Chubbie = Midgie

So my ds puts a plug on his cup, his shoes in the boot, eats a cat flap whilst being bitten by chubbies.

DD used to say 'hobstabal' for hospital. Felt quite sad when she worked it out.
DS says 'bananana' for (obviously!) banana and shoshage for sausage.
