TraciWA Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 We call raisin bran "frogs on lily-pads". We did that to trick my finicky dd to eat her breakfast. It worked. ;) How about you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talk to the trees Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 When dd was a toddler, she would ask for "ice-cold cocoa" (chocolate milk) because of a book where snowman moms fix the treat for their kids. Around the same age, she developed a taste for "ketchup soup" (tomato soup.) I offered tomato soup for lunch one afternoon, and she declined, so I offered ketchup soup, which she gobbled up! She's 7 now, but still slips sometimes and asks for ketchup soup! -Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Virginia Dawn Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Well, my boys have started calling Honey Bunches of Oats: Hairy Haunches of Goat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbeyej Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 When my sister was a preschooler, she refused to eat the tortellini soup I'd made, 'cause she said they looked like "pigs' noses". We called 'em "pigs' noses" for years after that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy loves Bud Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 When Luke was little I guess we ate a lot of mayonnaise and encouraged him to do the same. Just after he started talking he asked for "more good please," referring to the mayonnaise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaKinVA Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 My dad makes "Brillo Bean Surprise" soup (never the same twice, except for the crunchy bean part). Muenster Cheese is Monster Cheese in my home. When my dd was little and would only eat chicken nuggets, I told her the cut up steak on her plate was "brown chicken nuggets." She knows it's steak now -- Hot dogs are "dog dogs" And chicken that is on the bone is "chicken chicken" -- because it's "real" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhondaM. Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 :drool5::drool5:My friend used to say that green beans were green french fries. Green beans were called grass here for a long time. It started when my dd was about 3-4 and she told her Sunday school teacher that her dad ate grass. Took awhile to figure out what she was talking about.

Crissy Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 When Luke was little I guess we ate a lot of mayonnaise and encouraged him to do the same. Just after he started talking he asked for "more good please," referring to the mayonnaise! Around here the mayo is referred to as Jeffrey's Sauce. Apparently, my nephew noticed early on that mayonnaise was the condiment of choice for his older cousin and for some time refused to eat his meals without a side of Jeffrey's Sauce.

Susan in KY Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Raw broccoli with dip=trees with snow. It worked. DS was convinced he loved broccoli until he was 6.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pensguys Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 When my older ds was beginning to talk, he called tomatoes "mA-noes", so we still call them that now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardening momma Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Until recently, any kind of condiment or sauce (ketchup, salad dressing, etc...) was "dip". My daughters (4.5 and 2.5) will eat salad if we put the "dip" on the side and not on top of the salad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphabetika Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 When I was a kid, my brother would make gigantic sandwiches, and once my mom said, " You've got everything in there but the kitchen sink!" After that, any time we had "build your own sandwiches" for dinner, they were called "Kitchen Sink sandwiches." My mom still calls them that.
