Funny things your toddler has said

I thought it would be fun to share those little gems here.
Mine recently rubbed my pregnant belly and said, "Baby!" Then, without missing a beat touched my boob and exclaimed, "Booby!" 😵‍💫
And: while I was using the toilet came over to me, patted my leg and said, "Good job!" 👏

Got any to share? 😊

While nursing baby Toddler says, You got a baby on your boob, mummy!

Another convo overheard as recently was talking on phone with BFF saying I had baby on the boob and was a slave to the boob. I'm bracing myself for toddler's next observation. 🤦‍♀️

We are going on a holiday soon staying in a cottage so I am preparing my daughter (2.3) by talking about staying in a different house for holiday. For some reason she has decided to call it 'clean house'- I'm not sure what this says about our house! 😂

Interested in this thread?

My very small DB was given a bowl of soup by DM . . . he stirred it and asked what type of soup it was. DM told him it was minestrone. He stirred it again, looked very closely at all the small pieces of vegetables and tiny pieces of pasta and asked "Which are the mini strones?"

This was cheeky but as it came from our 2.4 month old, it was funny to hear something that you'd expect out of an older child's mouth!
His dad always calls us on his way home from work. I have him on speaker so we can hear him as I cook dinner. He's talking about his day at work. DS - "Stop, dad, it's not interesting!" 😆 He's 2 going on 10! He's not often cheeky but we have been getting a "ugh, muuuum!" and "FGS"😬

Driving on to a ferry...

DC clapping and cheering: "Car in the water! Car in the water!"

DC saw a dolphin in the sea and made sure everyone on the (pretty small and not particularly sturdy) boat we were on saw it too. By pointing and announcing...

"SHARK!"

She’s not really a toddler anymore but my 3.5 year old DD was asked to say good night to daddy on holiday recently, while he was doing the washing up, to which she sauntered past, slapped him on the bottom and said ‘night night big guy’. Words which I have never uttered in my life, I hasten to add 😳

Scirocco · 23/05/2024 13:15

That's gold!

OMG where did she get that from? 😂😂😂😂

Genuinely no idea. Possible nursery, through older siblings? She went through a phase where kids were ‘little guys’ and adults ‘big guys’ so perhaps resurrected that, but the bum slap was a new one to us all.

It was a family holiday so she made a few people chuckle with it, and obviously there’s nothing a small child likes more than to repeat something that makes others laugh so DH found himself having to avoid a very determined tiny person trying to slap his bum most evenings for a couple of weeks after.

When my now adult son was small he said “I wish I was the mum with a skirt and earrings”

Waking up to these new ones today has really made me laugh! Thanks for sharing everyone! ☺️

Scirocco, that one is both funny and alarming at the same time!

The latest is, "Mummy, I'll buy it for you."
Me: I need to buy a milk frother.
Havoc: Mummy, I'll buy it for you. 💕

And then tells me the price. Everything is $14. 😂

When DS was a toddler he saw a sausage dog in the street and said "Look mummy, a hot dog!".
When DD was a toddler a kindly old lady came up to talk to her in the park. DD looked at me and said "Mummy, is that a witch?".

My 3 year old: Mummy, when will I be 20?
Me: In 17 years.
3 yr old: Maybe then I'll be old enough to stay by myself when you go to the shops.

I'm actually surprised she picked 20 - she seems generally to treat 14 as the magic age.

Our local park has classic storybook characters (Peter Rabbit, Captain Hook, Squirrel Nutkin etc.) made out of woven willow dotted around. One of them is Long John Silver, with his one leg. We go there regularly so my 2 year old knows all of their names and where to find them all. It's like a little treasure hunt for her.

Of course she saw a left leg above knee amputee in a wheelchair recently for the first time and immediately and loudly announced "LOOK MUMMY ITS LONG JOHN SILVER!!" 🫣 Fortunately he was a very good sport about it and had a good laugh

I froze in horror and then made a flustered apology whilst the nice man laughed 😳

@pbdr That's definitely one for the books! Glad the fellow was good-natured. 😂💕

Toddler is currently obsessed with identifying cars. Mitsubishi, though, gets pronounced, Meesubeeshee. 🥰

Any why is my toddler saying Mummy with a Brummie accent? 🤷‍♀️ Mummaaayy, mummaayy...
We're Canadian, living in Canada. 😂😂😂
