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?

When DS1 was small , we had a conservatory added on to the house . Whilst it was being built , DH tried to teach DS the word conservatory . He was 3 for crying out loud . So they went into the kitchen , and DH said 'DS what's this ? ' 'house ' says DS . 'So what's this ? ' says DH pointing to the almost finished conservatory . 'Morehouse ' says DS . Morehouse it stayed .

Airing cupboard = hairy cupboard

oh and ear buds = ear bugs

DD, who is seven, still says that she is 'full handed' when she is carrying lots of things.

I just remembered another, DD's elbows are her 'armbows' :o

Jumperine = Trampoline

dd called dh's willy his poo door once. as it kind of covers where his poo comes out. .

Fireworks will always be known as 'bang stars' in this household.

Cracked up = Frozen film!

peeing thing.
ds1 misheard 'penis' at a young age and now all three of them call it that.
and why not?

My toddler son, (30+ years ago) saw a picture of suspenders in a catalogue and said, 'look, leg bras'.

our DD, 4, has called her trampoline a "bouncyline" since she was about 2.

DD (6) has an MP3 player. Or Song Box as she calls it. Which kind of works.

Until fairly recently DS1 said 'granilla' for gorilla.

My DS calls Minions Minge-ons.
Makes me laugh so much I always ask him to repeat it - childish I know!

Mayonnaise is white ketchup
Brown sauce is brown ketchup
Cauliflower is white broccoli
Normal crisps are circle crispies while hula hoops are ringos
Mutley (as in Dastardly & Mutely) is Laughy Doggy
That's all I can think of for now!

Just spotted this

The daily fail have stolen the thread ...

Ds when he was 3 called a waiter 'fork man'

DS1 'flushes the change' on the toilet. I guess I still say flush the chain even though we haven't had one for a very long time (an actual chain!), and he has heard chain as a different word that makes sense

I Was explaining to DS (ASD) about his sisters upcoming operation.
He asked me if the operation would be painful.
I explained that she wouldn't feel anything as they would put her to sleep.
Much wailing and failing ensued, he tearful explained he didn't want her to be put to sleep like his friend who had her dog put to sleep.

DD after the first time she'd done a poo on the potty, jumped up, peered in and said "ooh snake!" - she seemed a little alarmed, but quickly calmed down when we began the highly over the top celebrations for being a Big Girl....

DD insists girls are "girlsterous" and not "boisterous". Elbows are not elbows to DS, but "armbows". And things don't overflow, they underflood. Apparently.

Ahh CunnyFunt, have you stolen my child?

Err... no...
