Explain that....

When my DS was about 2 he thought his dad's beer was called Bugweiser and that's what it is to this day.

I was cooking lunch for my little granddaughters, and told them I had put some wedges in the oven. Our 3 year old replied: "I've got a weggie in my knickers Nana!" How do you explain that one!? ?

I asked my grandson what mummy was dressing up as for halloween
Answer (loudly in a cafe) "mummy is a bitch" he couldnt pronounce w

Love these little quotes.. I was looking after my 2 year old GS this morning when he declared he liked his yellow bike. Thinking I had missed something I said where is this your yellow bike? In the shop he replied. Silly me!

My son to his 4 year old daughter 'I asked you not to wake Nanny up' to which she answered 'I didn't wake her up I just kept tapping her until she turned on'!!!

My grandson was having difficulties saying microwave. So I tried to help. Split it up into Mi - cro - wave he carefully said each part of the word. Now lets put it all together - Microwave I said and very carefully he said Yourcrowave. mmmm.

One of my DC used to say radiheater for radiator. We went along with it!

GDS2 tries so hard sometimes to manage new words. He was telling us that he had a friend on a certain street. "I have vitised, viditsed, vitisted, vistided, visideted her...I have done that lots of times".

my little brother used to regularly suffer from the haircups (hiccups)

Minibags has never liked pissghetti.

My son aged 8 (42 now !) told friends we had a new garden Haddock. The Hammock was thus known for evermore.

My 9 year old Grand-daughter is autistic and kept asking her Mummy why she was different and why she went to a different school to her brother and sister. My daughter decided it was about time she explained about my GD's condition, and she seemed to understand and satisfied with what she was told. When I went to see them she ran up to me and said
"Guess what Nanny. I've got autumnism !"
Very apt for this time of year.

My DD when little called animals aminals and even now i have to stop and think about which is correct as both sound right.

Hosanas for sultanas, I presume!

My son really liked something called cubunter when he was 3. Later on in life, maybe a year or so, in the school nursery play he was chosen to play Joseph who he informed me was the father of Little Baby Cheeses. My other son stumbled upon my old record collection a few years ago and said "Hey mum can I have your "vin yell"

DS1 called money 'ait' which I couldn't understand until the corner shop owner said, 'that's right' as I handed him the money. A little voice echoed,'that's ait'.

as a child I could not say Car Park - it was always a "Par Cark"

I love the mis-pronunciations by children & the fact that they become family words

Practising with his class for a service in church, grandson told me they were going to be having a Harvest Vegetable

My brother-in-law's name was Harvey, and DS1 told me they were celebrating Uncle Harvey's festival at nursery...

My brother was reading a recipe book and asked what as par A gus was. And to this day all the family call it that. And when on a train he was naming all the stations as we passed through, got them all right apart from Percy Main, which became Perky Main.

Err ??? what is a par A gus ?

My Granddaughter "ooo look at that swan with its magnets" (sygnets).

This from my son (and I still feel bad about it) "is yesterdays tomorrow today?"

My DS used an 'underbrella' when it rained, said 'I do apoggolise' if he was sorry, and made up stories using his 'imaginisation'!
Wobblybits my guess is 'asparagus'!

These little snippets are really cheering me up. I may have tol this story before but here goes. We told my daughter we were going to visit her aunt who had recently moved. we were travelling by train she excited told all and sundry " I'm going to see my aunty in her castle" We gently enquired why she thought aunty lived in a castle. Her reply ."you said auntie had moved to a new castle" she and the rest of the passengers were very disappointed to be told "no auntiy had moved to Newcastle!"

I still remember being told how to pronounce vehicles. There was a sign at the entrance to our local park which I read when I was seven or eight as "No veehickles". I had no idea what it meant. My dad, dead straight-faced, explained.

Well, he would: when he was a teenager cycling around Leeds he read the road name Gipton Approach as Gipton Appricotch. Deliberate mispronouncing was part of his charm. I especially loved his way of saying be careful: Carry-fyooly. Actually, I think he may have been dyslexic when nobody had heard of it so weird pronunciations were his way of remembering how to spell things.

He always got my mum to check his spelling on any important documents before they went out.
