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?

My dd 2 told dh when he got home from work that "her tummy was sad" (she had overheard me saying she had a bit of an upset stomach)

she once asked me if I would paint her finger lashes (finger nails!)

Pretty much all I use my iphone for is to take pictures of the kids (and MN obvs).

Because of all the snaps of him, DS used to call it my iJack (his name).

Egg shells = egg wraps
Pea pods = pea wraps
Father Christmas = Ho Ho

We quite like a 'roast breakfast' in our house!

My dd told us she had done a 'porridge cough' when she was sick. And a watering can was a 'flower washer'

Little straight meat (mince) - DH aged 4

My DS when he saw a man with dwarfism said "look mummy, there's a little daddy!"

"Can we paint my feet nails today?"

Booby-carrier (bra!)

Instead of having sleep in your eye. It's called Eye Dream. Makes sense to me

DD1 called goosepimples/bumps "naked spots" when she was a toddler.

Of course, 13 years later we still call them that.

DD1 says people with hearing impairment are 'ear blind'

i'm loving these!

My older sister used to call her hood her 'lid' but then she also called yoghurts curries. She's never been normal. ;)

My brothers used to call the radiator the heaty-heaty.

And we all still refer to hanging up the phone as "making the phone go duh-duh", since that's the sound it makes when you hang it up.

Oh and DD2 says 'fluff' instead of 'stroke' as in 'mummy, I really want to fluff that doggy' which is kind of what she does as she rubs the fur the wrong way

DD2 (4) calls bras 'boobie patches'. First heard that last week in a shop when she asked did I need any.

I love these!

DS used to call nectarines 'new apples'.

They all call my bras 'boobies' which makes for great conversations when out and about - 'mummy, are you going to buy new boobies today?'

Microwave = hotter thing

My youngest, until very recently, thought ice cream van chimes signalled the arrival of The Ice Cream Band. I assume she misheard people saying the ice cream van whenever they heard it. It took us months to convince her otherwise :)

this day forwards and this day backwards for tomorrow and yesterday.

Green milk - semi skimmed milk
Blue milk - whole milk
Baby milk - 1 pint

We do a lot of milk in this house.

There's a terrible giraffe... "Theres a terrible draft!"
Scratch my dinosaur bone "I have an itchy esophagus"
Scratch my doggy bone "itchy collar bone"
Pass me the hello "pass me the phone"
A shoulder warmer "gillet"

I could go on for hours......

DD asked if I was going to put my new flowers in a jarse. (vase/jar). Seems logical.

We also use underbrella.
