words that grandchildren mispronounce

My son, as a small boy, used to say ‘window screamers’ for
windscreen wipers! I’ve always liked that!

We still use tentraber for temperature, my son came home from school and said 'Mrs Smith thinks I might have a tentraber'. My daughter always said vigenar for vinegar

Eliop pop pop- helicopter. Mazzerine - magazine. Ich bindy - its windy. All still in use 42 years later.

Oops -should have written " it's" not "its". I do have some standards!

When my DGD was 4 said "diapissad" instead of disappeared, she will be 18 this month.
My cousin who is now in his 50's used to call his feet 'feek' I bet you can imagine what the word for foot was.

I shall be devastated when I stop being gan-ma and he can say his "r's".

I loved being called Geannoe’ when my 2 oldest GC were little.

Over summer, my GD discovered the cat hides in the attic when there are children in the house! She was fascinated by finding a room right at the top of our house, and named it ‘the addick’ !

DS1: 'Cimena' for cinema, ParkCar for car park. 40 years later he still says cimena!

DS2: 'Snarsnips' for parsnips.
We still call them that, in fact I once asked for snarsnips in Tesco. The assistant's face was a picture.

Sorry, it was ‘Gwanny’. My spell checker seems to correcting my typing into a completely different language!

Sorts for sausages?‍♀️ flowfs for flowers, eyespotter for a theodolite a surveyor was using on a building site, which I thought was cute?

Burple loons we’re my DGS’s favourite - purple balloons

When we had building work going on our daughter of 5 said we were having ‘ a lost extemption ‘ ( loft extension )

I used to run a playgroup and DH said I should write a book about all the lovely things children say. One that sticks in my mind is when a little boy asked me why ‘blueloons’ were called blue when they come in lots of colours. A friends child pointed a field of sheep and said ‘they’re not moo cows, they’re baaf rooms’.

Can I have some “Cheese and Parmas” on my spaghetti too, please?

Mum told me that I always wanted biginer on my chips.
Granddaughter could not master vegetables, and they were vegebles for years.
Our youngest granddaughter, just 2 loves to pick the buddertups on my lawn.

Gwanny.
That's really sweet.

At the start of my 2nd year at school, where we all had our names next to our pegs for coats, I thought one of the new kindergarten lot had a very weird name - who ever heard of a girl called Peen-lope?

Coin apple for pineapple or pine cone. Balarns, for pyjamas or bananas. Sky pencil for a vapour trail, too many to go into here, I think I could write a book!!

Our little granddaughter called us 'Nanny and Ganker' for a while. Out for Sunday lunch with hye family, the whole pub went on Pause when she called him from across the room!

We still say argme instead of argue and I was called Gammy before GC could pronounce Rs.

My 3 yr old grandson says cardiganon. We kept wondering why. All was explained the childminder says to all her kids when going out don't forget to put your cardigan on!

Out in the car my two year old suggested that I put on the 'windscreeper wipers' when it started to rain. I almost slipped up and used that term in Halfords last year when buying a new set.

Not so much mispronounced words rather than how they are strung together. But when my DS was in reception I once had his teacher very embarrassingly come up and ask if we could teach him the correct way to phrase knife and fork. Because he would say Fork & Knife and sound like he was cursing each time. We sat down and had a chat with him and so did teacher. So later when he repeated Fork & Knife his teacher calmly reminded him that "Do you remember the conversation we had about how you can't ask for a Fork & Knife" like that? My son forgetting our explanation or not understanding turned round hands on hips and said "Well fine I suppose I'll have a Fork n Spoon then please"

Sounded like Fork & Knife = F@#&ing Knife and Fork & Spoon like F@#&ing Spoon.

I work with adults with learning difficulties and was told by one of the ladies earlier they were collecting red rum.
Later I realised she meant bread crumbs for the ducks.
