View Full Version : Funny things our kids say
My nearly three year old is totally besotted with trucks. He recently watched the offloading of the trucks off the ferry and at the same time learnt what a truck was called (ie: not a 'big car')
However, he can't pronounce 'tr' - it comes our 'fr'. Now he is constantly pointing out the window of the car, buses, whatever, yelling, "Look Mummy, Fruck!". Occasionally, he drops the 'r'!
I do hope everyone around us doesn't think we've taught him THAT word and realises what he's trying to say!
Has anyone else found their little ones mispronouncing words and creating quite naughty words in return?

my stepson has some beauties that he comes out with...
his best one is tickeling... this comes out as Killing....
nothing worse than sitting in a park when a 4 yr old says at the top of his lungs "i killing you!"

I must admit I am oh so proud that my son says "truck" very well. The worse that happens is he says "tuck".
It is the word "frog" that comes out a little wayward. He pronunces it "frok" and well I guess we all know what that sounds like!!
He also tends to use the word "not" instead of "no". I guess that is the cool way of doing things, not.
Can't blame them for trying!!!:D
DD1 used to mispronounce "fantastic" sooo cutely. It ALWAYS came out as "fancaskit". She was using it so often we used it on her 3rd birthday invitations. Its a little bit sad that she's learnt how to say it properly now (but "yellow" is still "lellow" :D ).
Cheers
DD1 often says "sh" instead of "s" in her words, which is cute when it is "shnake" but not so cute when she is telling her mother to "sit"......
When my daughter was younger she would leave out the L in clock. A little embaressing at times.
The funniest thing (in hindsite) to come out of my dd's mouth was when she was facinated with the vacuum cleaner at home.
However, it's a big word for a 2 yo to say & one day we were in Harvey Norman testing out a potential purchase & out came a very excited "vukka kweena!"
As two people who've never used the "F" word in their lives, imagine one very mortified mummy & daddy gob smacked in front of a sales assistant!
DD used to call a crocodile a cockaloo and an elephant an evelant.
My ds used to call the lawn mower the 'lawn mama'
DD1 used to call Batman , Matman
My niece used to call the bbq 'a bag of poo'. She would be saying I want of bag of poo nowwwwww :D
I love this thread, they say the funniest things.
Wow all this to enjoy and look forward too...My nephew also has problems with the tr sounds and alot of his words sound like f*%k....what can u do though, but smile and help them learn the correct pronounciation....

My problem isn't my nearly 4 yr old not saying words correctly it is the things he says. He needed to go to the loo at the shop the other day and we were leaving target so he could. He very cheerfully and loudly announced to the lady on the door that we will be back soon cos he's just going to do a huuuuggggeee poo. I don't think everyone wanted to know. Also I have been teaching him that although we call his boy parts a doodle it is really called a penis and only boys have them so while out shopping another day he pointed at an old man and loudly (as usual) announced to him that he is a boy so he has a penis. Old people don't really think this is good so I found out. Yet another day we were out and hubby was in the loo and we were waiting for him. The same son heard someone coming and as the man walked past he turned to me and said "is that my daddy" now that didn't sound to good. Luckily I don't embarrass easily and I not to concerned about what other people are thinking.

Very funny!
This is a great Thread.
My 4 year old came up with a great one the other day
He came into our room in the morning and was giving hugs and kisses as usual and his Dad asked him for another extra hug.
He said "NO MORE DAD YOU'LL SQUEEZE THE LOVE OUT OF ME".......
he also used to call chocolate cake - cockley cake
Keep them coming ....
Whenever we are out and about, and when my almost 4 year old son needs to go to the toilet, he will announce in a loud clear voice that he needs to do "BIIIG WEEEEE!" or a "BIIIG POOO!". That gets us lots of attention in the shops! :rolleyes:

He wanted a pet penguin!
:D

Caroline your post made me laugh, and all the others have made me smile too :) Cooper also runs up to men and says hi daddy! if we are waiting for his dad at his work or something, luckily most of them have always had a chuckle about it,he says so many embarressing, funny things though, he calls planes, helicopters, birds etc bums (true) I dont know why but i suspect the older kids have said something like 'see that up there? thats a bum' and now you cant get him to say anything else, he gets so excited to 'mummy bum, bum!' really loudly. he also leaves the l out of clock, replaces the s in sock with a c and leaves the roach off cockroach, it makes it worse that any sort of bug is apparently a cockroach, this leads to all sorts of ackward moments and hasty explanations! for some reason he also calls garbage trucks apples, although the other day my mum said to him 'look cooper there goes an apple' and he said'no nanna, Rice, bye bye rice'
um yeah sure Cooper, whatever! he is the funniest kid, he cracks me up! :)
The other day my daughter was having a fit cause I wouldn't let her have coco pops for lunch, however she was calling them coco cocks! my friend and I were in stiches. Can you imagin a three year old crying cause she couldn't have them! Maybe that one can come out at the 21st!
My 2 1/2 daughter's concept of male and female parts is that daddy has a wallet and mummy has a purse. I think this is so cute.
Also we went out for tea the other night and at this club they have a room where kids are looked after by staff members. The staff commented on how wonderful she was at speaking and at that moment she came up to my partner and said, daddy, that boy is being a d***head. Oh how you just wanted to crawl under a rock. My partner said, well, she did use it in context.... :o
My 3 year old daughter turned a bad phrase uttered by her daddy into something less naughty but undeniably horrifying. Instead of the usual "whoops-a-daisy" when she dropped something one day she said "oh - duck's sake"! Atleast it was "duck"! I was mortified and luckily I have not heard it since..........
my mum told me that when my sister was little if you asked her what sound a rooster made she would say 'f@#k a doodle doo!' ,at the top of her voice of course.
melzy, your post made me laugh, like he said, she did use it context.... :)
Cooper atm puts hisnd shrugs his shoulders and says 'too hard ' if anything is asked of him, its so funny because you might just say to him 'coops pick up your toy car' and you'll get the shrugged shoulders and the hands in the air and he sighs and sounds so sad about it as well, you cant get mad at him :)

This is a hoot!
My 2 and a half year old son says loads of embarrassing things. At the age where he is now so very aware you can't get away with much.
I went shopping with him last week ... had a wee bit of gas and thought I could relieve the pressure. I mean we were the only ones in the aisle. He laughed at me and then announced in a very loud voice (whatever happened to inside voices?) that 'Mummy farted, Mummy stinks'.
Additionally, whilst negotiating with him over watching a DVD he held his hand up in front of my face and said quite clearly "Talk to the hand Mummy, talk to the hand".

Hi
The other night Mikayla burped and came to me and said piggy flew out of my mouth. It was so funny. And when we are at the shops she has a thing about people not wearing shoes.. On the top of her lungs she yells Mummy he has no shoes on and points. its so embrassing. But you gotta love her.

As Spencer isn't yet talking and embarrasing his parents, I'd like to offer something my brother did as a toddler. My mum used to go to a local butcher who she didn't like too much, however he was the closest to our house. One day during a supposedly private conversation with my dad, she refered to the butcher as a d*ckhead. The next time she went to visit the butcher, my brother was with her. As she opened the shop door, my brother said loudly, "Are we going to see the d*ckhead?" I'd also add that my brother, at the same butcher shop, was caught sprinkling the wood shavings from shop floor onto all the meat in the window.
I had a very funny/embarrasing moment while shopping today. I was shopping for bra's and well I'm not the biggest person(rather upsetting as most a's were too big), my daughter(3) was picking out lots of bra's for me to look at when she said at the top of her voice " mummy you could get this one it has stuff inside so you can have big boobs like Nana."As I walk into the next isle i see a shop assistant having a good laugh at my expence.
Yesterday my sister and I were returning from a walk to the park with Coops n Tilly when i noticed a very elderly man with a walking cane slowly walking towards us. Cooper obviously noticed to because before I knew it I could hear him saying 'oh no oh no' as he pushed himself between me and the pram and made a beeline for the old man. He gently touched his cane and his hand, looking up at him tutting ' oh no oh no' and looking really sad and shaking his head as if to say ' oh no your really really old and you cant walk properly, you poor thing!' then he says 'oh no, no ehaw ehaw' (an ewaw is an ambulance, you know the sound ?)as if to say' oh no look at you your obvioulsy in need of help and there is no ambulance around! i gently led him away and explained that the man was ok (although the gentleman was probably thinking, gee thanks for reminding me of my position kid!) my sister and i had a good laugh, because it was so funny, but it was also desperately sweet as well, and I hope that lovely old man saw the funny side to it (actually he had a really puzzled look on his face, so i dont htink he heard or understood what coopy was saying) :o
Our little man is not yet speaking, but I can tell you that when I was little, I thoroughly enjoyed a lunch of strangled eggs ! Sounds frightening to me !!
While talking about fathers Day Jacinta can out with "I want hair on my face just like daddy". I think she might chane her mind at some stage.

Ha! that reminds me of my sister when she was little. Every time we went to the hairdresser my sis would collect the hair off the floor and then stik it to her top lip and chest when we got home. Just to be like daddy!!!
Just wanted to share this...today at the supermarket I heard this lady saying to her g/daughter who looked about 5 that they should get some nice ham to go with their lunch, to which her g/daughter replied very seriously 'nan you know im a vegetarian, that means i can only have frankfurts' as she placed the frankfurts in their basket. Her grandmother and I cracked up - how cute is that? :)
My hubby finds pure enjoyment in how our 3.5 yo mispronounces larger words.
The other night we were out to dinner at the Hogsbreath Cafe & the waitress came around to ask if Chelsea was ready for her dessert (comes with the kids meal). She excitedly answered "Yes please! Ice cream & hippo-popomus!" DH had convinced her that the chocolate topping on the ice cream was hippopotomus - even though she knows what that is! Well, it left one confused (yet amused) waitress & one hysterical daddy (apparently he'd been waiting for ages for her to say that!) I dunno, small minds.....?
Coopers version of 'twinkle twinkle little star' is 'tickle tickle littled da' (da is what he calls his brother, although the last 2 wks he has been calling him 'momas' and he calls himself 'ooper') Yesterday Nathan called him 'Mr Noisy' and he said 'No Daddy me Ooper' :)

My eldest came out with a rather nasty case of chicken pox last Saturday. She came down in the morning with her pyjama top pulled up over her head yelling "Mum, Mum, I've got polka dots" while pointing to her tummy. She had no idea what they were (obviously) but seemed very happy to be spotty!! She has wanted to show everyone her "polka dots" all week.
My 2 1/2 started toilet training a few weeks ago. I was on the toilet and she walked in and got upset because she thought I was using her seat. After I reassured her I wasn't, she said to me, "when I get bigger I wont need a seat because I will have a fat bum like you". :D

I saw a little guy, maybe 3 or 4yrs in the kitchen section of the reject shop.
He said to his mum "i think i'll have this" Mum replied "no we haven't got the money to buy it". He then said "no no no i don't want to buy it. Just borrow it. I promise i'll bring it back"
It was soooo cute! I guess you had to be there.
DP, DSD and myself were in the car listening to the radio and an old Michael Jackson song came on, and being a MJ fan I turned it up and started singing along to it. My DSD mentioned that she'd never heard this song before (as it was back in the Jackson 5 days) my partner said that it was a very old song and MJ sang it when he was still black, DSD replied "Was Michael Jackson black?"
What can you say except "Out of the mouth of babes!!!"
