Both of mine say 'nibbles' instead of 'nipples' and they are 7 and 9 yo. Too cute to correct

I've got a few more:

Today dd2 enjoyed some 'helicopter jam' (actually apricot).

Yesterday dd1 told me "I washed my face and it made my charlottes feel funny."
I asked her what she meant.
"YOU KNOW, Mummy, my charlottes!"
I finally worked out that she meant her eyelashes.

Another time dd2 touched my eyebrow and said "That's your rainbow, Mummy."
