Dd2 calls our computer a blue cooter, bless her! And cream for cuts etc. is 'ice cream'.

My dd always used to say mazagine for magazine and lomster for lobster. And to this day, she is now 11, she sometimes still calls a sieve and fizz!

Our dogs are Moobarb & Bampy (Rhubarb & Scampy) Bapples for apples, boogie boobies instead of boogie beebies, there are several others too, but thats all I can think of now.

ds(3) lays down on our bed before his bedtime for "biscussions"(discussions) when we talk about the day we have had and what we are up to the next day.
His dad gets him up on a Sunday while I have a much deserved sleep in. As a treat daddy gives cocopops or "popocops"
The last is one that I remember doing as a child right up till I was about 8 or 9, the "hostipal" one so cute
