Saying words wrong

My eldest son when he was about 2 was startled by a butterfly when it landed on his football, he ran to me crying and I said it's ok it's only a butterfly, his reply was me no like "Buttie Eyes" mummy! He's 29 now and he still hates Buttie Eyes, we now have his little girl pointing to a print on our wall with butterfly's on when we ask her where the Buttie eyes are!
My little great niece calls caterpillars Patabibbas and her dummy is a nummia, she calls my husband Bubby as her mummy has always called him Big Bully so she thinks his name is bubby, it's adorable and far too cute to correct so we all use her language and in our house a butterfly will forever be known as a Buttie Eye! ??

My children called my mother Black Mam' , as she had very dark hair. However they called DHs mother ' Green Mum'. No idea why.

When my son was a toddler, we had an infestation of Earwigs, he called them Wink a Winks! That name has stuck over 40 years on

When my niece was about 4 years old, and Dr. Who and the Daleks were on tv, she stood in front of the screen and said, clearly 'Dardeks go home'. She is now well into her forties, but the whole family still refers to Dardeks.
She also invented the phrase 'burgled eggs' (boiled eggs), and again, that has become part of the family vocabulairy.

My 4yr old GD said she saw some aminals at the farm, and one was a firrel (squirrel)

My eldest son, now 42, on seeing his first set of twins as a child said oh snap babies. If his shirt wasn’t tucked in it was ‘tucked out’.

Ninathenana... lovely, bless him

Lamanors are 6 yr old DGS favourite dogs. Especially nocnot ones

Chocolate labrabors

He is waiting for op on cleft palate bless him.

I can remember when my DGS (now aged 8) asked me for a burple loon. He was 2 at the time and fascinated by balloons ? and wanted a purple one.

I love Raggy. I'm still Tatty to my grownup GC

Granddaughter aged abt 4 looked at grandpa who is known for eccentric dressing and laughingly said " Granpa you look dericulous! " The word was so apt and is still used in the family.

Having just become grandparents last Friday, we are looking forward to hearing our grandson Freddie ‘s words. The favourite from my son was hush cog for hedgehog

My son used to call caterpillars ‘patterdiddlers’ , and when looking out at a field of cows, he shouted: “Look at dose woolly-moo-baas! “

My daughter wanted an upstairs downstairs cozimashoom..........a bikini!

When my son was 3 years old he came home from a playdate with his friend Christopher. He said that Chris was excited because his 2 cousins were coming to stay. I knew that there was only one cousin in the family so I told him that Chris only had one cousin.

"No", he said, "there's definitely two cousins - they're Dom and Nick!"

As you've probably guessed, the cousin was called Dominic.

Ye ye yumps was my daughters name for elephants and I always wore a gown dress over my jarmers

When I was a toddler, a boiled egg was 'a egg in a box'. My sister called marmalade 'ambadade' and the shreds were 'marmles' - a name adopted by the whole family. My DS1 had 'bomanas and bapples' - and 'peetot'.

My gd use to say tom a toes and we still say it. Also the equator was pronounced e quat toe.

I was standing at the bus stop with my then 2.5 year old daughter when she announced to the man standing next to us that we were going to Australia to live in a bunghole. His face was a picture. What she meant was a bungalow. One of my adopted daughters aged 4 used to ask for a hoggit and meant yoghurt.

Whenever we went on holiday my son used to get excited about staying in a Heltel! A couple of them were.

My daughter called her Granddad "Gassa", then one of my granddaughters, called Pinochio "Smokey nose", but the worst one was when oldest granddaughter aged about 3, in the build up to Christmas, kept pointing at the window and saying "fukalees" getting louder and louder the more frustrated she got, we finally worked out that she was pointing at some glitter in the window, which we called "Sparklies" when talking to her, had me and my daughter in stitches!

The granddaughter of my friend used to call him "Gonad"!!!!

Situpstraight1, We had a variation - windwipescreamers. My oldest son, for unknown reasons, called a screwdriver a foomanin. My GD christened my late DH Grallag, which he has been called ever since, though she is now 19.
My 19 month old DG stands up in her cot and greets her Mum each morning with "No night-night" when she wants to get up.
Children are so funny. My favourite blooper was told to me by a teacher friend. One of her Liverpudlian pupils had written "The door opened, and a nude woman walked in." When questioned, he read out, in his Scouse accent "The door opened and anudder woman walked in!"

my friend told me that her young son who went to school in America where they were sworn in each morning. he said 'God Bless America Underdog' instead of God bless America under God
In our family we have Walter Hottle Bottle who is of course a hot water bottle.

Love this thread! My DD at 3 used to talk about "Out In The Wild Wild World". Kinda appropriate I thought. I use it with my DGD now.
