Garga Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 My son just turned 7 today, and no matter how many times I remind him, he still calls fingers, "thingers." My 4 year old says "upside over" instead of upside down. I don't correct that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saille Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 My oldest said "oshun" instead of "orange". Youngest ds said "woo" instead of you. Now, when he says shoe, I picture an umlaut over it. It sounds like "Shue". It's so cute. Remember that song "Boogie Shoes"? Oldest ds used to sing, "Cookie Shoes", instead. Impractical, but oh so tasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tess in the Burbs Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 My daughter will pray before dinner.... " God bless the food to the nursery of our bodies" :-) I have to kick my son under the table to keep him from correcting her to say nourishment. I like her way :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangerine Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I honestly don't correct any of it! I just figure they'll get it eventually. My son says "poodles" for anything in patty form. Like zucchini patties. He tells people he had poodles for dinner. Which is a little alarming. I once said he couldn't eat bread because it was "old and moldy". Now anything gross is "oldy moldy". I use that one now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelly in the Country Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 When my eldest dd was a toddler and she needed a tissue she would say she needed a "deez wop" (nose wipe). We still sometimes say the kids need a "deez wop". I loved it when each kid said "foots" instead of "feet". I never corrected them. The two older kids figured it out now. I'm still enjoying my 3 yo talk about her "foots". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene Lynn Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Our little guy has started saying, "Birthday!!" when he jumps out of a hiding place. He saw that on a show with a surprise party, so he thinks that is what to say. Our dd used words so well that we didn't hear many funny things from her, but one day when she was very little she didn't know the correct word to say, so she did the best she could. It was a little to descriptive for me. I think I had asked her if he had a dirty diaper and she said that she only had a "stinky burp."

********* Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 My son referred to eyebrows as "streamers." I was so sad when he learned the real (and much more mundane) word for them. He also used to run out of the bathroom after a bath, stark naked, and say (very sincerely), "Look how clean I am!" He felt so clean that he was sure we could see it. Aw, I miss my baby. Julie I think last year, after a bath, Zee let out a contented sigh and said 'Ah, I feel so fresh'. That one stuck. I say it now whenever I was feeling particularly dirty and got to take a shower. You know, he's right; I always feel 'fresh' after a shower. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christielee7278 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Ds 3 asks me to "spill" him some juice, milk, etc in a cup instead of pour. I LOVE it and do not correct him! Same ds LOVES taking baths, but does not like to "take a rain." Ds 5 says "kaprise" instead of surprise. We have corrected him here but he still says "kaprise."

christielee7278 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Her greatest invention - and she did invent the term, because she didn't know the word "ketchup" - is: FRY LOTION. We all love this term so much that we plan to use it forever. Hey, want some fry lotion with your meal? :D :lol::lol::lol::lol: Sounds like my ds3. He is always making up names for things he doesn't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christielee7278 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I just remembered one that we TRY to correct every.time.we.hear.it. (because usually it's in public) Ds3 says "Star Whores, the Clone Whores." My dh's oldest son is a HUGE SW fan and all of my boys LOVE talking SW with him. Anytime we are in a store now, ds3 will say "look there's....." :blushing: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
