JFF: Things That Your Kids Say Wrong That You Don't Correct

LOL!! My 1st daughter used to call cheese pizza 'cheese dabby'... I would try to correct her, 'say CHEESE'... 'CHEESE!!'... 'Say PIZZA'... 'PIZZA'... 'Okay, now put it together, CHEESE PIZZA!'... CHEEEEEESE *DABBY*!!!!'

My second daughter couldn't say 'I love you', it came out 'I LUB ewe!'

My son just doesn't talk :(

My 19 month old thinks that Big Bird is called Booga Booga even though she can say "big" and "bird" just fine. She also says Oscar, Ernie, Bert, and Cookie all clear as day. Aren't kids cute?

My children call cockroaches 'cock creatures'. It's just too funny to correct.

Well, I can't think of anything right now, but your daughter's incorrect labeling of bugs and wrong lyrics are too cute! :)

My son calls his Magna-Doodle a "Maggot Noodle"....cracks me up every time.

My son used to say 'eyebobs' for eyeballs. "Mommy, you hurt my eyebobs when you took off my shirt"

Little kids are good for a laugh, that's for sure.
I knew a little boy that called his knuckles "finger knees".
My son has said so many funny things. His sister is 10 years older and she and I were just talking today about how he used to say, "Mom, Sissy's annoying me!" He meant ignoring. She would purposely ignore him to get him to say it.
Since you need a cheer up, I don't know if this fits into your category or not, but my daughter started talking pretty early and she was very communicative. She was just a bitty thing and we were going somewhere with my mom. My daughter was in the back in her carseat and I was telling my mom about my friend who just got a gorgeous brand new car. I said I was happy for her, but so jealous. I said, "I'd give anything to have a BMW!"
My little daughter, very curtly said, "Momma! Don't ever say that! It's GROSS!" I asked her what in the world she was talking about.
She said, "I know what that means....it means POOP!"
Oy.
I've told this story before, but I was getting ready for a yard sale. My son wanted to help. I gave him some cardboard and a sharpie pen to make some signs for the tables we would have clothes on. I didn't care if he played tic tac toe as long as he was busy while we organized things. He set to work. A while later, he brought me a sign that he'd finished and wanted me to look at. I looked at it and almost died laughing. I showed it to my daughter and she about wet herself laughing. My poor son was getting so upset because he couldn't figure out what was so funny when he'd worked so hard on it. He thought we were making fun of him.
He really did to an excellent job. It was written nicely and neatly.
In perfect little boy handwriting the sign said, "Shits - $1.00"
After I explained he'd left the R out of shirts and asked him to look it over REALLY carefully, then he understood why we were laughing.
Every now and then I still tell him that I volunteered him to make signs for someone.
It really was pretty funny.

Anyway, I hope you get a giggle and feel better soon.

Best wishes.

Because is cuz-be-uz

Music is mus-a-mic

Chihuahua is wa-chew-waaaa My husband thinks that is THE funniest thing ever. Our son says it with such force and conviction it does make it funnier.

my two year old calls a bathing suit a "babying soup" I LOVE it!! She speaks really well, so I still love that she has these funny little things. It's strange to see such a tiny little thing speaking in complete sentences.
"Mama, can I put my babying soup on and go to the pool?"

She has also started saying "oh my peas" from Super Why whenever she trips or something falls. She's been doing it for about a week and I still crack up when she does it!

I thought of another one. My daughter is still working on tone and inflection. So she sometimes, to be a brat, will yell and scream things. She was upset the other day because my husband was holding her instead of me. He told her we were walking to get on the boat (at Disney world) and she looked in in his face and screamed "I'M SO EXCITED" we weren't sure if we should repremand her or not. The other day while walking the dog she just looked up at me and screamed "I AM A GENIUS" she's a wild one.

Our 3 year old calls flavored water "fladored." She used to pronounce with as "lif," one time she said that & my husband wad correcting her trying to get her to say with. He said, "w...w...with," she came right back saying, "l...l...lif!" That cracked us up. We don't always correct her, we just typically say it correctly & she'll get it sooner or later. I actually can't stand baby talk but know it's age appropriate. I will not baby talk our kids or say things like "wawa"for water. I figure if they hear it correctly enough times then they will pick it up.
Oh, our 5 year old has a great vocabulary so it always cracks me up when he says something that surprises someone. Last weekend a friend was visiting & we were out running around, we passed the store we meant to stop at so he pipes up, "why aren't we going to that particular one?" Our friend goes, "did he just say particular?" The 3 & 5 year olds typically use words like parched, actually, responsibilities, and essentially (that's the new one). Love the funny things kids say!

Oh the list that may start pouring outta my fingers as I type:)

My oldest calls BAGELS...BAGUL..He sounds like he is from another country when he says it.

My middle guy..It is not so much in how is says stuff..It is the fact he doesnt know what he is saying most the time. My favorite is, he wont call Gma and Gpa by the given names they have for each of them...I think it is because we haver an extra set through a divorce..so, he never really knows who to talk about...So, he addresses them as My dads dad...or my moms dad. He also calls anyone with cool hair ''Rockin Out'' hair guy or girl. His favorite commercial right now is the T-Mobile one..Where the guy is watching the Basketball game on his phone, and it starts ''Buffering''...then he calls his mom and goes ''Mom? In your face''...For four days now I have been hearing...''Mom?'' So, I will go ''What?''....just to be met with...''In your face''....Really very annoying but the timing he does it with sometimes IS hilarious!

My youngest still gets alot of things mixed up or said wrong...He had a very bad speech delay though so when I hear actual requests outta him, I am tickled...His new favorite thing is Power Rangers Samurai....He will come up to me and ask to watch it by the full title....I am not happy that they were aloud to watch it and so I normally say ''no that is not something mommy wants you to be watching''...he then yells it at me...No, the yelling doesnt work:)

I know I am missing more..but those are the ones that stick out in front.

I was mad when someone else corrected my son on this O.! He used to call Abraham Lincol, Oberham Lincoln.

We have a nearby street with 'Lebanon' in the name....he used to say "Eleven-en" which I also loved.

My grand daughter likes to spin around,, and then stops and says, "Whoa, Im BUSY"..
My favorite was when she told me Id been bad and she was going to "put me in time out for FREE MIDGETS".. (3 minutes)
ShaneB, Im getting ready for a garage sale,, would your son like to come make signs for me? lol, thats funny.

My daughter calls a calculator a "contuculator"

My hubby loves it, we do correct it but she still says it contuculator. She is almost 5 years old and it is so cute, we do correct her but it is a hard word for her.

I love love love when my 2 year old asks for "straw babies" -- her word for strawberries. It's one I just can't correct because it's so stinking cute.

When my 5 year old was a little younger, he would always say "askadent" for accident. It was sweet.

The other day I noticed one of our twins was saying thing-gers instead if fingers. I asked the other one what she calls them (held up my fingers) and she said the same thing. So I asked what is this, holding up my thumb and they both said fumb. I did correct them but they are still saying
thing-gers and fumb.

I've loved reading your responses - so cute! I miss when my kids said things wrong. My youngest had a word for "flower" that I have no idea where it came from. She called it a "bobbity" What?? It was cute coming out of her little 14 month old mouth. My oldest added a "y" on the end of every word ending in "er". So she'd say things like "Mommy are you taking a showdy?" (shower) Oh, I guess she added a "d" in there too! And her word for flower was "flowe-y" She called our cat Yo-yo (his name is Gus!) and I think I figured that one out - maybe she was trying to say meow?? And when she said "I love you" it came out I O E!!! Ahhhhh, so adorable.

Both my boys have made up their own word for 'No I am not'...they say "No I emmit" and I LOVE it!

My youngest son is 5 and can not say 'Incredible Hulk' it comes out 'Incredible hook' every time!

When my oldest nephew was little (around 3y/o) he had 2 favorite shows, the first was 'Blue's Clues' and instead of 'handy dandy' notebook he said 'Hamby-damby'...the 2nd favorite was a movie called 'Without Limits' it was about a real life person, a runner named Steve Prefontaine (his coach invented Nikes) anyway my nephew used to watch it over and over again and he would say 'Watch me Auntie! I am gonna run fast like 'Pre-two-fawn-tain'...still makes me smile!

My 2 year old says motorcicle, instead of motorcycle. She even got me saying it. I'll be like 'Look Kasen, theres a motorcicle' lol.

She says a lot of other stuff wrong, but I think it's to cute to correct. She'll learn when shes older whats the right way or wrong way to say something.

My son is almost 3 and has always had trouble with words. Two of my favorite things he says are, Dinofaur for Dinosaur and Pobly for Probably. I just think its so cute when we have conversations like-
R: "Mama, is pobly gonna wain!"
Me: "Really? Do you think it's going to rain hard?"
R: "Ummm...pobly!"

My daughter is almost 5 and has always talked very clearly and from a young age. There are a couple things that she says wrong though and its too funny to correct. One was just recently after a day at the beach. I got a sunburn on my back so I was telling her I was going to get Aloe for it. She has been talking all morning about how she's going to help me rub "Jello" on my sunburn lol.

lol I like this..makes me think of all the things I love about my kids being little :)

Cute cute cute!

My son used to call helicopters "hagabadeedos". don't ask me where that came from.

He's never outgrown valentime (Valentine), lypesaber (lightsaber), scabetti (spaghetti), retroller (remote controller), demote (remote).

My oldest always said coldee instead of cold. She would say it so much she had my husband, mom, dad, and myself saying it too. Never really corrected her, but she's almost six and says it correctly now.

Oh and my brother has a dog named Obie and for the longest time my 3 year old called it Ooby. We never corrected her because it was just too funny, but now she's caught on to Obie.
