Funny words children invent

Strange how these funny words still get used in our family today. Leaving the car in the parcark, having salt and biginer on our chips, and putting hat and gubs on in the cold.

When my son was little he was drinking a cup of tea when he said it was stagerous meaning too strong. After that we and our friends always used that word for too strong tea.
My daughter when little couldn't say 'yellow' it was oowere.

I almost forgot: I was at a loss to explain why DS1, as a small toddler used to call money 'ait' until the corner shopkeeper handed me my change and I said 'that's right' and a small voice beside me echoed, 'that's ait'.

Sorry , for highest, read hig, for hints read hin. What he was trying to say was Joyce and Ronnie are up the stairs in the big bath in the big bathroom..
I do wish this tablet wouldn't do this to me!

I still live in a world of "cashmerdexers" and "Parkcars".

My son used to say raididater and beranda, (radiator and veranda). And I still call them that! And a cousin of mine, when very small always put an h on the front of lots of words. His best offer was 'Hoyce and honnie har hup the hairs, hin the highest haff hints the highest haffhoom

My friends little girl used to call her aunty Angela, aunty Gingella, which was quite fitting, as aunty had bright ginger hair.

My 3 yr old GSon made all heads turn when he said:

Wher's mi forkin knife?

MY son liked to have brocciflower with dinner (when we had both broccoli and cauliflower at the same time), and loved being in the applaudience at the theatre

My little brother could not say 'elephant', he used to call them 'leddidits'.

DD used to call ducks cack cacks ( as in quack quacks)

DGD called stars WA WA,s don't really know why. Animals were aminals we all still say this even though they can pronounce it properly now also cause it ( instead of pause it) when they wanted a programme on the telly stopped without missing anything.

I was called Raggy when grandchildren very little because they couldn't say Granny at the time

My DG complained about the peskeetoes (mosquitos) on holiday with us. Also her Auntie Audrey became Auntie Strawberry.

My younger daughter was very taken with her sister's leotard. I was puzzled why she kept asking me for a jam tart, until I realised what she meant. Leotards are forever jam tarts in our family.
They both had a comfort cloth to twiddle when they needed it and they were nuddlies.

My daughter called my dad gangan before she could say grandad properly and it stuck.She had a favourite toy-her pandan - seems she liked rhyming 2 syllables! We also had banabanas for bananas and michaelphone for microphone.

My daughter used to call the microwave the "beep beep". My Mum had quite a noisy fan on hers which blew air out the front. My daughter announced "Did you know Nana has a windy beep beep"!

All animals were 'diggens' (chickens) to #1 GS. During a visit to Jersey at 2 his DS, having been to the zoo wanted to go again to see 'oranga
moutan' singing.
One of DD's first words was 'popop' which would be either pop up, the toaster or parp parp, the car.

Putter pea was a favourite for peanut butter from my DS and scrim scream wiper for windscreen wipers. My eldest DGD stumped us with broccoli lights until we realised she meant twinkly lights

One of our sons used to call butterfles Flutterbyes and it stuck.

We had Cucumbuggers (cucumbers), Roman Catholics (Roman numerals on a new watch) and Counterlator (calculator). Happy days :-)

We still have deppy die (shepherds pie) thirty years after one of my nieces coined it.

When my daughter was 2 she saw vapour trails across the sky and immediately called it a sky pencil, still used in the family today.

Oh and we had a 'head mystery' in charge of her new school.

We had 'punched eggs' and peas as a tea time favourite for a while and for some reason my nephew calls cereals 'Gerald' but we have no idea why.

GD2 loved to sing Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. It took us a while to figure out why she called stars"hawai" until age 2+.

My friends little boy told her he had been poorly at school, and had to go to the megalty room.
