Literal-minded kids names for things -

[SoonMeansNever]

3yo DS and I were baking muffins on Sunday, he called flour 'pastry powder'

I don't imagine that one'll stick once he knows the real word, but DH calls quiche 'egg cake', and friends of ours all call raspberry jam 'pink jam' since the kids named it years ago.

Any more?

Oh and butterflies were butterpillers

Ear muffs were Ear Muffins

A 3 year old child told me yesterday that her Mum wasn't well as she had just "had her ears bricked up". Any ideas?

The backs of DS's knees are his leg pits.

My dn when learning the alphabet repeat v then her nan said w and she repeated double me . Her nan replied no not double me double you (w) 'yes nanny double me) had us in hysterics!

Ds1 calls a magnifying glass a "zoom in glass".

Shower head = water hammer.

Ds calls malt loaf "grape cake"

DD2 used to call her tap shows ballet knockers. She knew they we dancing shoes that made a noise

Misseuropa your DD2 needs some of these :)

My DD used to tell people she went to Brontosaurus school (Montessori)

A flamingo is a barbie bird in our house , and we are all busy double screening on our pie pads ...

DS aged 3 asked to watch 'the sand and grass and water'. Turns out he was a young golf fan!

Misseuropadiscodancer...fellow MSP fan?

DD calls having her temperature taken, ear beeps ( we have a digital thermometer)!

my eldest has his morning sleep disturbed by a "clock of wake-up"

A fresh cream chocolate eclair is a "chocolate hotdog"

Oh yes

Glad someone got the nc

June you have pie pads too!!
DD2 always asks for a 'go turn on the pie pad

I love the cute things littlies say!

We used to have 'ow-bries' for eyebrows and 'wider-speb' for spider web and 'the pointer' for the remote control

best of all was DS patiently watching DH replace the batteries in a toy engine and then wistfully saying "daddies are so good at screwing things up"

DD is 3 and calls umbrellas 'ungorillas' :o

Ds(3) has a toy axe. All too often the cry goes up, 'Mummy! Where's my break-door-smash?'

Also, whenever I say 'oh my gosh' he invariably replies 'oh your gosh!'

Can't fault his reasoning.

Hay bales = shapey things

Umbrella = underbrella

Chicken yogurts - chicken nuggets DNeph coined that last week. Wondered what sort of filth DSis was feeding him.
