Bwahahaha I can’t believe your kid calls it that

You know what kills me? How my kiddos used to speak when they were little. OMG, their tiny adorable voices and their baby laughs and their funny toddler words. Zoey used to call coconuts “nuck nucks” and Holden called guacamole “macamole.” It was so stinkin’ cute. But they slowly learned the real words now they sound coherent and more grown up and wahhhhh, where did all those cute words go?!! But the other day, Holden used one of those cute words again and I put up a dinky little post about it:

HOLDEN: Mom, look at all those nestesses in that tree.

HUBBY: Holden, they’re called–

ME: Don’t you DARE correct him.

And OMG, did the hilarious comments pour in. People shared the “wrong” words their kids use and some of them had me literally laughing out loud. So I’m gonna quit yapping and share some of my favorites with you (and don’t forget to share your own kid’s hilariously adorable “words” in the comments so everyone can see!!) Drumroll please, badadadadadadadada now presenting some hilarious wordses by kidses:

    after spending hours looking for Turtle World on our local boardwalk…we finally realized he wanted to go on the tilt a whirl.

  5. Eve Fletcher at 8:54 am

  6. Michelle M at 8:56 am

    My daughter used to say Mee-ilk (milk), Haw-awaii (Hawaii), and Ky (Sky). Not to mention the fact that she put the letter B before a lot of words…Bbrella, bjamas

  7. Jill Thompson at 8:59 am

    Avocados will always be audocados and they still laugh about packing their soupcase for a weekend away.

  8. Steph at 9:04 am

    My son love the ponomatic (pomegranate) booberry juice.

  9. Katie at 9:07 am

    My son passed me my bra one morning and said, ‘here Mom, forget your nipple nest’

  10. Paige Toker at 9:07 am

    My eight year old daughter still calls them soup cases (suitcases). I can’t bring myself to correct her.

  11. Nikki at 9:08 am

    Tralantrula, keckaboo (peek a boo), and cow catcher…every time my little guy saw a helicopter he would point and say cow catcher, the adults started pointing them out and saying look J a cow catcher and he would get MAD and tell us straight out ‘that’s NOT a cow catcher it’s a cow catcher ??‍♀️??‍♀️??‍♀️

  12. Bethany at 9:12 am

    My niece used to call her mom’s bra a “boobie tangle”. So accurate!

  13. Erika at 9:14 am

    My 4 year old calls Captain America “Captain Camerica” and we hope he never stops!

  14. Leah Brody at 9:19 am

    My son is 4 and his school teaches all about the brain. He knows what the pre-frontal cortex does, and what the amygdala does (though he calls it the amygLEAH)…

    Anyway, reading a book about the zoo and I pointed to the hippopotamus and said, “What’s that called?” He said “hippocampus!” ??

  15. Leslie S. at 9:20 am

    When my daughter Claire was around 2 or 3, (she is now 12) she said “hanitizer” for hand sanitzer — and we still giggle and say it to this day! (Love that you had this in your post!)
    She also called an iPhone “myphone”.
    She said “humbrella” for umbrella.
    She called Kraft Parmesan Cheese “shaky cheese” (since you had to shake the container to sprinkle it on your pasta).
    She also said “can-ah-corn” for canned corn.
    She also referred to shoes we took off and left near the door as “door shoes”.
    And whenever she heard someone talk about being vegetarian and not eating meat, she would declare that meat eaters should be called “meat-a-tarians”.

    • Jenny O at 12:29 pm

      When mine was about 6 or 7 I asked “Can you spell CELL PHONE” – he said “Sure! S-E-L-F P-H-O-N-E” ?

  16. Sarah Kent at 9:22 am

    Dragon muffin = ragamuffin
    hoptacopter = helicopter

    Hamburger- Hangaburger

  18. Mary Bagwell at 9:24 am

    We still call Epcot at Disney World Apricot. How could you fix that? My nephew hates the way stunks smell (skunks)

    • George at 9:20 am

      A skunk sat on a stump.
      The stump thunk the stump stunk;
      but the skunk thunk the stump stunk.

    • Lindsey Guerrero at 6:24 pm

      That is my favorite! My daughter was six and still saying stunk!

  19. CAROLINE at 9:43 am

    My 2.5 year old: caterpillow
    spaghettis are “pasta good”
    pancake is a verb, as in “let’s go pancake”
    Batman is Ba-te-man (like he says it with an Italian accent)

  22. Tracy at 9:49 am

    My son, who wasn’t even that little at the time (like 10 or 11) used to say “Crocodile” instead of Pocket Dial. He legitimately thought that’s what it was called. He’s in college now, but I still say to him, “Sorry, I must have crocodialed you!” LOL

  23. Ruksana at 9:53 am

    My daughter was admitted at the “hostipal”. We pack a “suictase”. Mommy cook me some “paa-toh-poh” (potato fries). And of course eternal confusion of the hippptomamus or hippopotapus or hippotopapus so we settled for hippo. :’D

  24. Becky at 10:00 am

    My girl used to say “shut-it door” any time she wanted something closed, like a marker.
    Avocados – Autovacado
    Mac and cheese – Mack-a-mookie

  26. Rebecca at 10:05 am

    Momitor for (baby) monitor
    We knew someone named “Yolanda”. My kid called her mylanda.

  27. Michelle at 10:08 am

    My son refers to the groove on your upper lip as a “snot slide”. LMAO

  28. Susan Baskett at 10:12 am

    My twins used to loudly yell in the grocery store that they wanted some “boobies” (blue berries) and my son’s favorite animal was pink-a-ma-mingos (pink flamingos).

  29. Abi at 10:14 am

    Well what she was trying to say was “throw in garbage”……it repeatedly came out as “fuh-ka bidge”.

    And similar to above, my oldest loves her “Hands-itizer” and refers things as “disastrophes” instead of catastrophes 🙂

  30. Cait at 10:15 am

    Hopper copper = Helicopter and miker cycle = motorcycle.

  31. Patricia Burke at 10:22 am

    When my youngest was 2, she called Barbies “Boobies”. Imagine turning up that isle in Target and having your child yell loudly, “BOOBIES, BOOBIES, BOOBIES, I LOVE BOOBIES!”

  32. Michelle at 10:23 am

    When we go for a walk around the neighborhood, my son (5 1/2) still reminds us to stay on the walkside.

  33. Lauren M at 10:29 am

    My son calls a spatula a “satchipaw”.

  34. Lori Burse at 10:30 am

    Instead of parmigian cheese it was Farmer John
    Trampoline was boompaween
    Except mixed with but becomes bucept

  35. Lindsi Timm at 10:31 am

    A good friends son LOVED dine-a-whores when he was little.

  36. Jen Pallett at 10:31 am

    “toeditt” = turtle, Lifesavers (the candy) are always “light sabers” like from Starwars, even before they saw the movie.

  37. brittany at 10:36 am

    S’mores – smorfs
    Cauliflower – Crawling flower
    Kesha (the singer) – Ketchup

    My 8 year learning about ancestors in school, asked me “mom, who are my aunts sisters were?” I didn’t know she was learning about ancestors, I kept saying I was her aunt sisters until she said no the olden days dead people.”

  38. Jennifer at 10:37 am

    When my kids were little (they are 11 and 12 now), they used to say that boys have a p***s and girls have a China. ??

  39. Peggy Wolf at 10:37 am

    My precocious quirky kid is 29 now and living in an apartment in San Francisco. When he was two he insisted that apartments should be called “connectments”. At age three he argued that eleven should be “oneteen”, twelve should be “twoteen”, and so on. Not funny, but what’s a parent to do with this kind of sh*t when the kid is right and the world is wrong?

  40. Heather S at 10:39 am

    My little guys both had speech sound delays and replaced a lot of sounds with an H sound. So my one son LOVED “dinowhores”! ??

    When I was little I like pookles on my hangaburgers.

  41. Erin at 10:42 am

    My six year old…
    “Thumb toe” is the big toe – cause what else would it be called?
    His favorite Bears player is Mickey Tribicky (Mitchell Trubisky).

    And my favorite…my cousin called a cocktail table a “c**k table table” until she was in college and needed a c**k table table!!

  42. Hannah at 10:43 am

    My oldest child had some of the best of my four. Hippenpotis (hippopotamus) and hole cupter (cup holder). Thanks to my third, all my kids called it hand sanitizer handzitizer instead. And my little three year old currently calls Rapunzel Papunzel which to hear how she says it in her serious conversation she has with me over this currently important princess is hard not to giggle quietly over and nevvveerr correct. Thanks for sharing! Love kids innocent and adorable expressions!

  43. Jason at 10:43 am

    My daughter called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles …. engine turtles.

  44. Melissa B at 10:46 am

    My daughter says “mussmash” for mustache, and instead of just “shoes” and “socks” my son calls them both “shoesocks”.

  45. Kate Gilmore at 10:48 am

    Bringing home the new baby, “Mommy,what’s Tyler doing?” Me- he’s eating. “What’s he eating.. (looks) AHHHH HES EATING YOU!!! He’s eating your boo-boos!!” Sheer panic

  46. Stephanie Himel-Nelson at 10:55 am

    My then 3 year old was fond of dropping his pants and going anywhere outside. One time at a little league game I directed him to a port-a-potty and told him he had to go “inside the toilet.” He somehow heard that as “psycho toilet” and our new favorite malopropism was born! My son (also named Holden) is 12 now but we still all call port-a-potties “psycho toilets.” It fits!

  47. Hanna at 10:57 am

    My son who is 3
    Byebee- library
    Objects by what they say not what they’re called…neigh for horse moo for cow Aarrr! for dinosaur etc it’s really cute!
    He also uses “us” in place of “we”
    Us are home…us are here…where are us?

  48. Talya at 11:08 am

    My youngest uses a “magni-finding glass” to look at small things.
    He also yells out “P**p a yurt” (aka, P**p Alert) when he’s got to p**p.

  49. Michelle at 11:11 am

    My triplets call pistachios “mustachios” and I never correct them. Now their little sister says it too.

  50. Karen Lochel-ryan at 11:11 am

    There is a ride at the Jersey Shore called the Moby D**k. My daughter called it the Moldy D**k for years. Now, at 16 years old I told her this this summer and she was mortified.

  51. Alice at 11:15 am

    When my 4-year-old granddaughter has finished eating, she says, “I’m filled in.”

  52. Mandy at 11:16 am

    San-hanitizer was my favorite… “Mommy can i put on some lipdick?” was a hard second…lmao

  53. Kelly palmieri at 11:19 am

    My niece always reminds us to put on “scum-screen” before we go in the pool.
    My son used to beg to look at the “long-mongers” (lawnmowers) at Dum heepo (Home Depot) he’s 12 and I still tease him about it!!

  54. Cole Hansbrough at 11:36 am

    My oldest daughter used to call Obama: obomina. Always sounded like she was saying abominable.

  55. Hillary at 11:43 am

    My kid kept calling a friend of my dad’s Oren. His name is Warren. In an attempt to correct it I said Wa-Wa-Wa-Warren. So two years later that’s still his name.

  56. Twinmomma at 11:48 am

    Oh love these! My twins for the longest time referred to penguins as pengos and flamingos were mingos. These days at 5 my Holden calls his favorite cereal sticky o’s (honey nut Cheerios) and instructions are constructions “well did u read the constructions mom?” while rolling his eyes ? My daughter still refers to chapstick as lip stack.

  57. Elisabeth at 12:00 pm

    My son used to call an octopus and optapuss. And he would tell me his frope (throat) hurts.

  59. gingerpont at 12:18 pm

    When my daughter could finally say the ‘th’ sound, for a while she would talk about picking up “fings” with her “thingers”.

  60. Teresa Gregory at 12:27 pm

    My son told me the other day that he was “consecrating” (concentrating) on something. I’m a nurse, so we use correct anatomical terminology, and after a conversation about which boy parts are where, my son said, “so my tentacles attach to my p***s?”

  61. Rachael at 12:27 pm

    Omg. I needed this funny post after the phone call I just got. Apparently my little a-hole decided to copy the older kids on the bus and flipped people off. She is now booted off the bus for the next three days. Thanks for the laugh!

  62. Brit at 12:30 pm

    We have only left the kids with a babysitter one time for a date night. The other night my daughter said that she wanted to go to the restaurant that we went to when they were kidnapped.

  63. Julie at 12:32 pm

    Dinner of choice for my 4 year old-
    Old McDonald’s

  64. Jen at 12:38 pm

    My youngest could never pronounce ravioli, so it was “valioli.” And my oldest at age 1-2 would ask for a fork, but it came out slightly differently… “F**k!”

  65. Heidi Lien at 12:53 pm

    My son calls Kangaroos “hoparoos” and my daughter used to say “peter butter” instead of peanut butter! ?

  66. Eliana Garry at 1:06 pm

    Cancakes = pancakes
    Dipping eggs = sunny side up eggs
    I amn’t = I’m not

  67. Aireale at 1:10 pm

    8 year old- mom why does heli-c**k-ter (helicopter) have a bad word in it?
    Me-freaking out wondering how on earth my 8 year old knows the word c**k. Honey what bad word?
    8 year old- hell
    Me- huge sigh of relief, and I did correct her pronunciation!

  68. Rebecca Hunter at 1:29 pm

    My son has a little planet projector with disks… He calls them his “dicks”.

  69. Amy Lundin at 1:31 pm

    When my daughter was three she called a waitress a mattress, and she used to call Lucky Charms cereal “nocchios” because she thought it was Pinocchio on the box ?

  70. Trista at 1:45 pm

    My daughter saw a picture of a squid and called it a “rocket octopus”?

  71. Meg at 1:45 pm

    Sooooo many!
    My younger sister coined this one: instead of “bikini underpants” she called them “zucchini underpants,” which of course stuck, and of course mutated to “zukes.” So now underpants = zukes!
    also helicopter = kelldopper
    refrigerator = fridge-i-dator

    and my youngest daughter (pre-speech therapy) : clock = t**t
    WHOA! Wanna know what time it is? Look at the t**t!

    • Meg at 1:47 pm

      To clarify that last one: the word which was bleeped out starts with tw and ends with at. Sorry about the objectionable word!

  72. carissa at 2:12 pm

    When my brother was about 4 years old he farted really loud in church and then said (also really loud) “Awwww chit!” I think my mom almost died of embarrassment.

    My daughter is turning 9 tomorrow and still says aminals instead of animals. I just can’t correct it.

  73. Laura at 2:33 pm

    When we put things together we need to follow the “Uh-Struck-tions” (Instructions)
    At the farm they have a “P**n Kit” (Corn Pit)
    Her favorite food is “P**s-ghetti” (Spaghetti)

  74. Megan Martin at 2:49 pm

    The twins call Spaghetti paspaghetti.
    . helicopter is Chopper, oh and u better “get to the chopper” (say in ur best Arnold voice lol thx Arnold!) Lol.

    All if urs were awesome by the way. I was in tears laughing so hard hahaha!

  75. Elizabeth at 2:51 pm

    My son, Quin, used to talked in 3rd person when he was about 2 and couldn’t pronounce the Q in his name. My favorite was “Tin duded” for “Quin did”. He would call his sister I-wa for Isla (eye-la).
    My daughter would say “opitof” for octopus. She’s 7 and she still says hane-ga-bur for hamburger. Cracks us up!

  76. Amanda at 2:58 pm

    Cratoonas/ croutons
    Haships/ chapstick
    Side-up- down/ upside down

  77. Rainey Carey at 3:02 pm

    My nephew used to call a Fire Truck a “Fire F**k” and we’d just ask him to say it over & over! ?

  78. Lisa at 3:18 pm

    Somehow Flinstone vitamins became “little men” because my son couldn’t say “vitamin.” Then it morphed into “crunchy man.” He is now 10, and I will still tell him he has to take a “crunchy man.”

  79. Sandra at 3:37 pm

    Forehead is forehead – she still says it this way. And when she was younger sticks was dicks…LMAO

    • Sandra at 3:39 pm

      Sorry …forehead is forkhead…d**n autocorrect.

  80. Gretchen M Lindholm at 3:39 pm

    My 6 yo still likes to eat “oyt-meal” for breakfast.
    My nephew used to say “mung-on” for come on
    My niece used to say “shivvy me himbers” for Shiver me timbers

    I also was correcting my 6 yo that his mom didn’t have “nuts” but she had ovaries in her tummy. That same day he saw me in the bathroom…bc what mom goes by herself…and announced that he saw my “overalls”!

  81. Lindsey at 3:53 pm

    I taught my girls that their.. special areas are called their lady parts. It’s slightly less embarrassing than them exclaiming “my v****a is wet” in public, but you still get a lot of stares. The funniest day was when I told them men have man parts..

  82. Heather McIntyre at 3:59 pm

    My oldest daughter 6 calls a kit Kat a knick knack! So of course I call them that now too! And when my youngest, now 4, was born our oldest pronounced baby like Mae Mae! My youngest now only answers to Mae Mae ?

  83. Lisa at 5:35 pm

    My son, 6, would say “my peanuts” whenever he meant to say my p***s. For the longest time, he thought that was the right word. He still says it sometimes. Lol.

  84. Renee Cain at 5:44 pm

    Ploodles instead of poodles and ambulance instead of ambulance

  86. Kathy Boyers at 6:09 pm

    My kids couldn’t pronounce my grandma’s last name which was Emeott. They called her Grandma Idiot. And condiments were compliments.

  87. Emily at 7:16 pm

    My son…”Mommy I was in the garage playing with the hookers.” (Hookers=bungee cords)

  88. Angie at 7:39 pm

    My daughter saw a pretty leggy bug in the back yard and my son called a crescent moon a banana moon. He was also talking about the Holocaust and how they had constipation camps.

  89. Deborah Wussler at 7:52 pm

    My son called a bikini a zucchini well into fourth grade. When his friends called him on it, he was *really* mad at me! Even funnier, when he was about 15, he was referring to honeysuckle, and kept calling it fuckle-tread. He looked at me like I was from Mars when I started laughing uncontrollably, and was like, “What? Fuckle-tread. You know, the vines? Fuckle-tread.” We still call it that to this day. =)

  90. Emily P at 8:09 pm

    2 year old son. Knock psyche = motorcycle, eat peet = armpit, air pee = airplane, moosie = miss you.

    My 5 year old used to call Limos, lemons. He also said “automagic” ?

  95. kiwilauren at 10:35 pm

    My 2-year-old saw his daycare provider wearing a hairnet when she was baking bread, and he pointed at it and said, “Spider hat!”

  96. lbcapone at 11:02 pm

    My son would insist on carrying the “rainbrella” in the rain. We still call it that, 36 years later, in our family.

  97. Emily at 11:10 pm

    My kid was furious that I did understand when he demanded we “make a spoon.” Days later I realized….fort = fork = spoon.

  98. Megan at 11:11 pm

    Both of my kids (4 and 6) call skunks by a funny, but fitting name, stunks. My son (6) always says his heart is “beeping” and my daughter (4) calls ballet “bal-uh-lay.” I never correct them.

  99. Toby at 12:03 am

    My sons favorite train was Percy and was always yelling “ I love P***y”
    Pepperoni was also called “ peckeroni”

  100. Patti at 12:53 am

    My niece never understood why we all burst out laughing when she declared “all the pissin’ willies are out!” when the pussywillows were out.
    My 9 year old still refers to spinach as “scabbich” mmmmmmmm scabbich.

  101. Erin at 1:11 am

    Toyoks Pope-akes = Kellogg’s Corn Flakes
    Mo-keets = milk

    My daughter calls flamingos “fla-flingos” and I die of the cuteness every. single. time.

    My daughter used to call Frisbees “crispies”. She learned the right way and I was so sad.

    My youngest likes to say a lot of descriptive words about something instead of just the name of it:
    Pan = dinner box
    Kangaroo = jumping Joey
    Tongs = squeezer spoon
    An older kid = a big-year-old
    Question mark = a mystery mark

    My daughter and I drove home from preschool (she was 4) and she told me they had cookies for snack. I asked what kind of cookies, and listed a few to see if she could remember… “Was it chocolate chip cookies? Or maybe teddy grahams?”

    “Nooo,” she said, “it was something like ‘v****a wipers’”?

    I nearly crashed the car. It took a good minute before I asked, “do you mean vanilla wafers?”

    One of the funniest moments of parenting.

    Play dough was pay-a-dough. “Can I play with pay-a-dough?” You know how to say PLAY kid, just use it one more time in that question!

    Foresthead for forehead and my son used to ask for mushrooms in his hot chocolate (meaning marshmallows -that’s a gross mixup!!)

  115. Jen at 7:36 pm

    Tonight, my niece called a hot dog “hot guy”.

  117. Dawn at 10:59 pm

    My daughter used to ask for “hangaburgers with cheese” and she likes “sneezening” (any kind of seasoning, more appropriate when it’s pepper) on her food.

  118. Erika at 11:13 pm

    My son used to call safety earmuffs “earmuffins”! He had some other mispronounced words, but the kid could clearly say Brachiosaurus and excavator at about 2.5-3 years old so there weren’t very many incorrect ones.

  119. Janelle B at 11:22 pm

    Our 14yo used to call elephants “en-o-wents,” princess was “crin-cess.” Kitten was “titten.”

    When we were very lil kids, my cousin used to call green grapes “gerbeen gerbapes.” They’re still gerbeen gerpapes…were in our 40s.

    For some weird reason, my baby brother called ketchup “D.” ?

    I had a neighbor years ago who was teaching her kids correct names for their private parts. While at a Cub Scout meeting she asked her son to set the table. He couldn’t find the silverware in whatever container they were carried in and asked “Where’s the testicles?”
    Many giggles…..

    My 3 year old calls Home Depot “Depot Ho-ho.” ?

  122. Dee GLo at 10:47 am

    My daughter once turned to my Mom and I when she was 7 yrs old and said “Mommy, my b***s hurt!” cue my Mom and I trying not to die laughing while asking what? She meant the heels of her feet. ??

  125. Paula at 11:23 am

    Mine calls any mole she sees, especially on my face, “nipple”

  126. Chrissi at 8:31 pm

    These are all so cute!!
    One day I was out with my daughter and she kept saying she could see my “nipple” so I kept looking down at my shirt.. finally she pointed to my face and said “right there, you have a nipple on your face!” She meant pimple?‍♀️

    Neck-name instead of nickname. (And she points to her neck every time she says it.)

  128. Faye at 9:53 pm

    Got a new one today! My 5 year old came home talking about how they watched a show at school and in it, sister bear was biting her nails. And did you know biting your nails is a bad rabbit? Bad rabbits are things that aren’t good for you! Took me a bit at first to figure out rabbit=habit lol

    My sister took my nephew to see the live action Jungle Book and when I asked him about it he said his favorite character was Bageesha (Bagheera). Lol. We still call him that.

    My son definitely says “p***y” instead of Percy. My husband and I giggle every.single.time. His new thing is to call a computer a “pooter.” My daughter used to say “suncream” for sunscreen. For a while my daughter had trouble with her “s” so her scooter was her “cooter.” Both kids calls McDonalds “Old MacDonalds”- I hope this one never goes away.

    My nephew would say to his mom. Let’s go immin in the immin pool. Immin means swimming.
