The only one I can think of right now is my son at age 3 said he got hit in his aims. I didn’t have a clue what he was talking about until he pointed and said my aims. my aims mama. I said oh. why are you calling your private area your aims? He promptly replied because I aim it. kids are crazy.
A few years ago, while my kids were getting dressed after swim lessons, the one that was dressed first said “I’m the winner”… and I said,”no – you’re the weiner!” So now every week after swim lessons, they are all trying to be the “weiner”…. and once they fully realized what a weiner was, they would add in “Oh, no! Maybe Daddy wants Hot Dogs for supper!”
My little DD4 is presently in the habit of leaving out the FIRST syllable of many words. Today’s conversation went like this:
DD4 – Mama, is it time for me to use the “puter” (computer) yet?! (she gets 15 minutes on starfall.com each day)
Me – no, sweetie, keep working on your colouring for now…
DD4, but Mama, I have to do my “cool” work! (school work)
Me – yes, darling, but I would like you to finish your colouring before we begin something else…
DD4 – ok Mama, but if my brothers are still on “puter” can I at least do my “plode the code” ?
Me – well, yes, that would be fine, if you would like to do that next.
DD4 – oh, thanks, Mama, I’m so ” ‘cited” , ’cause I love my “splode the code”…
This goes on ALL day…. she’s now in her “jamma’s” (pajamas) and off for a good night’s rest before we go “kii’ing” tomorrow (skiing!!!)
Hope everyone is smiling over all the stories posted today; I’ve loved hearing all of yours, too! (and she really does love doing Explode the Code) ….”ANYTHING to be like “my brudders” “
@Angelina – my baby brother, who is now 30, called me sister when he learned to talk and it stuck. To this day, I’m sis or sister. In my teens I thought it weird, but now, I love it. 🙂
I thought of another one that my older brother used – “wind ship-a-shipers” for “windshield wipers”.
For a short while DD used to say “You’re wacko” instead of “Your welcome”
Calculator was calaculator
Elevators were alligators
My oldest liked to race to the shopping cars hollering “Don’t beat me, Momma!!” Just what you want your child yelling in public. I tried to get her to say all sorts of things like “don’t win me”, etc. But it never worked.
My youngest had a hard time with tr and replaced it with an f. Unfortunatley she liked trucks and would talk about them all the time. She also had a hard time with fl and would just use f . . .”Mommy, look at that fag!!”
When my youngest was 2 we were at the grocery store and had this conversation:
DD “Daddy’s a girl.”
Me “No, Daddy is a boy.”
DD “No. Daddy is a girl.
Me “You are a girl, Sissy is a girl, Mommy is a girl. But Daddy is a boy.”
DD “Daddy used to be a boy, but now he is a girl.”
These are all so cute! One of my sons calls my daughter Lolly (her name is Lottey) and it just melts our hearts! My daughter calls Tim Hortons Timportants!
Christie, my dd4 was asking the same thing until very recently! it took some patience, but now she is content – as she has learned that only a girl can be a mommy…. Oh the joys of some of these teaching moments…
Oh, and my brother called me “babia” until he was four, then figured out his transition and I became Angie.
My youngest (now 7) still calls the cereal MiniWheats “WinnieMeats”. He usually has no trouble pronouncing words correctly, but that one always gets him, lol.
My daughter has always loved shoes and when she was very little called flip-flops “plee-plops.” The first time I knew that she was singing a real song, she was playing with fridge magnets singing “Say-su me, ya I know” (Jesus loves me). Ds6 used to request “loafmeat” for supper (meatloaf) but ds3 likes “tippy” better (pizza). We are all looking forward to the things dd1 will say. What a great thread! It has made me laugh!
A different funny story: Last week I noticed a big red bump on ds6’s forehead. When I asked him what happened he told me that he and little brother bumped heads when they were jumping on the bathroom scales to see if they weighed 100 pounds!
