Kids say the darnedest things. Especially when they are still very young and don't have a rich vocabulary but need to get their point across. They aren't afraid to experiment with language and come up with fresh, original sayings and that's awesome.

At first, you may laugh when you hear them call dessert a "bonus round" and sheets "bed skins", but when you stop to really think about it, their versions actually make a lot of sense, too.

So since there is no limit to children's imagination and their parents continue to upload their linguistic gems on the Internet, Bored Panda decided to make a follow-up to our older list '28 Times Kids Hilariously Renamed Things And Made Them Sound Way Better'. Enjoy!

I remember a toddler referring to me with my slowly balding head as "the man wirh small hair". That was a full-blown hit!

Parents should definitely encourage their kids' attempts at communicating their ideas without knowing the exact words to express them. According to some, the best way to do so is to spend time talking about things that interest the child. It’s all about following the child's lead as they show what they're interested in by waving, pointing, babbling or using words.

When the child starts using words, parents can repeat and build on what they say. For example, if the child says, 'Apple,' moms and dads can say, 'You want a red apple?' When they tune in and respond to their child, it encourages the little ones to communicate.

RELATED:

    A great way parents can increase the number of words their child hears -- and learns -- is by simply talking about their daily life. Like, what they're seeing or doing together. The key is to use lots of different words in lots of different contexts. For example, one conversation can revolve around a lush orange tree and the next could be about cutting up an orange for lunch. This helps kids to learn the meaning and function of words.

    That makes sense if she's heard of a "kindergarten". Maybe to her tiny mind, a collection of folks is a garden, sorted by life stage.

    And from the time the child starts telling stories, parents should encourage them to talk about things in the past and in the future. For instance, at the end of the day, you could talk about plans for the next day by making a shopping list together or deciding what to take on a visit to grandma. Or when you come home from an outing together, you could talk about how it went.

    The best part of this journey to raising a mindful human being is hearing those tidbits of wisdom -- like in these tweets -- that they undoubtedly drop along the way.

    That is simply hysterical. I can just see a child yelling at the phone to call Grams. Amazingly Funny

    The way their little minds work is really fascinating, especially since there's a logic to their observations... yes, the kernels do emerge from the individual cob pieces.

    My son when he was about the same age, called his shorts "short sleeve pants" and pants were "long sleeved pants".

    Sounds like you do this quite often then. Not judging, we all speed but I know when I had my Niece or Nephew in my car I drove the speed limit or even slower.

    I've heard of Spoonerisms, but what would this be when the switch is within the word itself?

    Reminds me of my daughter's complaint about violet hued bird droppings on the car parked under a fruiting mulberry tree. She called it "purple bood pirp." So now and forever all bird poop is called bood pirp.

    Every small child I know says that and I think the rest of us should embrace it, too.

    My adult children call our printer Rosemary's Baby. It goes off any time it wants, and yes the Wifi is secured.

    side note: we use anti-fungal cream at the cat shelter - on us and the cats. I once yelled at a lady who put down her cat because he had ringworm, I told her "I fully expect to see your husband's name in the obits should he ever develop athletes foot, same thing you stupid woman".
