Mixed up words when you're young!!!

[KiminChicago]

My niece used to call the refrigerator the "frigifrator" We still call it that sometimes.

My son calls instructions "constructions". And I don't know who "Private C" is, but apparently my DD 5 needs him when she uses the bathroom .

 

[jwsqrdplus2]

DD5 used to call helicopters heckicockers (probably won't get past the filters because it is the c-word for male anatomy)

DD2 if full of mispronunciations right now. Spaghetti is skettis; milk is mik (basically without the L); plate is pate. Fork is really close to you know!!

I couldn't say comfortable when I was little. I said comfberdle. And instead of fries I'd say chies. And I was always saying things backwards like instead of seat belt I'd say belt seat.

My aunt is a chiropractor and she sells vitamins and natural remedies. One of the things she has is Rawleigh Ointment. Well, when I was little I called it "oily rox" and that's what everyone in my family started to call it. Even now (21 years later) she'll have people come to her office and ask for oily rox.

Hahaha! I love what you all have said!

My girlfriend's son, and my all time favorite, I still use it to this day! would say:

Beeps = Grapes

LOL!

 

[CruisingCA2005]

DS: Vanilla = Valinda (he loved vanilla ice cream & his grandma's name is Linda)
Marshmallows = marshy-mayo
Mozarella cheese = hot dog cheese

DD: Banana = Amana
Janel = My"Nell" (My cousin's name is Janel but now she "belongs" to DD along with MyJason and MyOwen)

My Dad couldn't say Roger growing up so he called his younger brother Yaya. Yep - I have an Uncle Yaya.

My cousin couldn't say Truck so it was really embarrassing when she'd say "Look at the big *uck!!"

We usually get prepackaged salad. . .just like it. Anyways, I was at the store, and there was a display of cabbage. Although my son comes with me a lot, I guess he never noticed it. . .he got all excited and shouted, "Look, Mom, a Salad Ball!"

That was the funniest thing.

PS. after that, I made sure that he knew all the names of the fruits and veggies. . .

also said "hangerburger" for hamburger. I never wanted to correct that, I loved hearing that.

My oldest DD used to call her bellybutton..."belly bun net" The youngest DD called stuff....."stuth" and help was "helmp"

Gotta love kids.

However, I still have problems saying cinnamon, aluminum and enemy. My tongue gets all twisted around the m's and n's.
LOL

According to my DD, we live in the "United Steaks of America"

When she knocked over her cup, it was an "ask-a-dent".

She still calls granola bars "o-lee bars"

 

[winniedapooh]

DS, now 11 but 4 back then, kept insisting we go back to APRICOT!

DS,8, is always looking for my cellar phone.


All the kids call DH DDAY and some call me MOAMI! I am still not sure how that got started.

 

[ebaynut31]

I used to call mosquitoes "beskeetle bugs" spaghetti was pisgetti, and when my dd was learning to talk, she could not say shoe, she said oosh

My friend calls crayons, craylons (it drives me crazy) and she calls wreaths "reafs". frustrated is flustrated.

My sis cannot say request. she says recrest hahaha

 

[Yardbird]

oops. Should have read the FULL title to this thread.

 

[MB MinnieGirl]

I wish I had written down all the funny things my daughter has said or what she has called some things....

My favorite I do remember...she called Coca Cola....Coca La La until this past year - I actually HATED it when she said it correctly the first time

 

[julie_yet]

I thought of something else I had to post. When I was 3 I would call my Uncle Barry "Bubby." So now everyone calls him Uncle Bubby. He even refers to himself as that.

 

[MinnieM21]

I'm so embarrassed to admit this. You know when people sneeze and someone says "Bless you" to them. Well I didn't realize what they weren't actually saying until I was about 17 years old, I believe.

See I always thought they were saying "Blesh you" So if someone sneezed well you never got a "bless you" from me, you got a "blesh you"

When DS was little he added do-do to the end of everything it seemed. So he wanted waterdodo, he wanted to colordodo, etc.... He liked to read mag-za-ines. It was very cute!

Now DD is two and has been delayed in speach because she's bi-lingual. She mixes up some words here and there, but most of the time she just says them funny. For the longest time she couldn't say hate, it came out well the bad word for poo. So one day she asks her daddy if he poos barbie. DH and I laughed until we had tears running down our cheeks. To this day I tell him he poos barbie!

She can't say her L's very well either, so her brother becomes Ukey or Ukas, which is rather funny when she announces that "me and Ukey are so ucky" took me a few to figure it out!

I just remembered Belles other one - she couldn't say popcorn. She'd say she wanted to go to the movies and eat nough-nough, it was just the cutest thing! She can't say Amelie either, so her sister is Amiee.

DS (6) called my Expedition an Ex-majician when we first got it. He still says its Froggy out when it is foggy.

DH calls a sandwhich a samwhich, it drives me crazy, he is old enough to say it properly! At least I think so.

 

[nativetxn]

My sister always called spaghetti, "basgetti", she still does, now that I think about it.

 

[CindyKansas]

I have a great WDW one that my DD use to say. When we first experienced "Alien Encounter" DD handled it very well for being 5 years old at the time. She did inform us that she didn't need to do "Alien in the Counter" again any time soon. I thought I would die laughing when she said that.

Another one that she used to do, she called DH's moustache a Mushmash for the longest time.

 

[MerryPoppins]

cornch for corn

Just last year we were playing "Rock, Paper, Scissors, Shoot with my DD, when we realized she was saying Rock, paper, scissors, SHOE. (and then she explained to us that shoes can crush anything, so she won!)
She used to say sirsty for thirsty (she has an aunt that would make her say it over an over, cause she loved to hear Kari say it.)
DS used to say "bage" for garbage.
Today Kari (9) found an alligator in the store, and called it a galligator!
