Have you adopted words created by your DC when they were learning to talk?

[BellaBearisWideAwake]

I now say 'scaf-building' instead of scaffolding, courtesy of DS1, because it just made sense.

Do you have any words like these?

And does it get you some weird looks?

Yoghurts are giddigogs
We have moreberries and cream.

It's mine pen, mine biscuit etc

Blibla - blister
losber - lobster

And we've actually been told off by supermarket staff by saying "let's see what's on the mouldy stall" - meaning the nearly out of date area of the chilled section

I used to say "nes" as a child (combination of no and yes when I didn't know the answer). I still say it now to wind my parents up.

Blueberries are still boo-bellies.

And DS invented his own word - "stifficult" for when something is too stiff to open. We're adopted that one, it's very useful!

Fob wipes - Wet Wipes
Codiet - Cataloge
Chahufta - Chauffer (sp?)

The chauffer one is dd2 who is 11 but still can't get her head around the word lol.

It's Mines!

I give yous pen for you!

and my favourite : Pum!
it doesn't mean anything, but it is immensely satisfying to say.

DD (now 21) has our household referring to radiators as radiheaters, makes sense when your 3 i suppose!

mouldy stall has made me chuckle, I might use that when we go shopping later on!

Moppam (bottom)

Michaelwave

cockywool (cottonwool)

My dad used to be a physicist and had a lab in a large outbuilding in the garden, when I was small I used to call it his 'boy up a tree' (laboratory) - so it's always been known as that in the family.

Radiheaters-very logical!

I'm stealing some of these.

I'm sure I'm not the only person who's said "pum!" to herself while reading this. And you're right...

We still use a 'snat nav' when out and about driving!

Snissors & snozzers (scissors and sausages)

Dad still uses these and I'm 32!!

autumn dd used to say mine all the time too. 'This is mine house!'

just remembered that ds used to call his bottle his beer-beer. dd1 called hers bob, and that has stuck. whenever i make dd2 a bottle i ask her if she is ready for her bob.

Sneep for sleep
Wifflebix for weetabix (funny how many Weetabix ones there are)
A snozy for a runny nose
to Snoze - to wipe a runny nose

My DS called screwdrivers Goose-straffers for a while, and I kept using it because it was so cute.

"by my own" - all by myself
ghosters - ghosts
sauseridges - sausages
enerminum - haven't a clue what he meant but he said it to Daddy as a question ..."is that enerminum Daddy?"
husmus - houmous

Aminals are a feature of a trip to a zoo,
Grandpa is for some reason called pwampa, despite granny being pronounced in the normal fashion.
Papa has a Julias shop (jewellers)
And my favourite, granny is a tired teacher. (retired)

My DD thought that The Jungle Book song 'Bare Necessities' was called Burn the Sausages.

We call Smoothie Moody and duvet is duday.

love it, have been meaning to write these down in ds2's baby book.
masagines - magazines
gardin - garden
bumbibee - bumblebee
oninge - orange
everything is 'mine' like other posters
for some reason he says 'eh' in front of pretty much everything, now we've started it too.
happy birthday hip hip hoorays are 'pip pip hooray'

the other day they listened to 'this little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine...' few hrs later ds1 was leaping around shouting 'shat on you!'

Bash browns (hash browns)

Fourth head (forehead)

At the moment we have hippinhoppinous for hippopotamus, jimamas for pyjamas, and noclears for binoculars from my 2-year-old. My five-year-old still insists on calling spaghetti buscetti and used to call the microwave the milkowave because that's where we warmed her milk.

DSD used to call pickled onions 'prickled nunions'.

That's become family parlance.

DD1 called horses "detos", that's also been adopted, to much hilarity at the local stables.

misappeared- disappeared
ahblesshoood- atishoo
moogic- music
fanchoo- thank you
dotdot-chocolate
