My son was good for mispronouncing or redefining words. Chameleons had "cameraflage" (meaning you couldn't take pictures of them, I guess). A cookout was a "steakout" because you cooked steaks on the grill. His uncle, who he disliked he said had OCAD which he explained was Obsessive, compulsive a*****e disorder. My niece used to call omelettes "omelopes" and macaroni "mickeyronis". My grandson pointed to a church and told his mother that "cheezitz" lived there. But the top prize belongs to his mother, my stepdaughter, who called getting a splinter under her skin as "having a "woody".

My son called the back of his knees his "knee pits" and I think this should be in all the anatomy books.

I always wondered why my dad announced ' The bathroom's bacon!' every morning. My mum eventually told me he was saying 'the bathroom's vacant'.

My brother used to call "the fat controller" from Thomas the tank engine "the f*****g troller"

My now 18 year old son couldn't pronounce popcorn when he was a wee guy. Instead he would loudly ask for some "cockporn" at the kiosk in the cinema - was a sad day when he learned how to say it properly

I will never forget the child who mispronounced Pennsylvania as Pencildavia.

I was around 7. My sister around 4. She couldn’t say the “T”. Came out as a “F”. My Grampie was a trucker. So obviously my cousins and I got her dropping the F bomb till we got caught.

I still call things "shricky" (instead of tricky, as my son said). He is too embarrassed that he used to say pòrn dogs. And my daughter used to talk about her "packback." Sooo fun!

My cousin's favourite movie as a kid was "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang". Except she pronounced all her "ch"s as "sh"a.....

Granddaughter called a piggy bank a piggy boink

It took about 10 minutes of careful questioning before we realized our four year old's "croak sore" was actually a canker sore. She's eleven now and isn't happy I contributed to this post, lol.

My son called refrigerator refridgelator and tractors were cackeys. Popsicles were pop kee kees

My favorites from my daughter were sprink-U-ler and ridicleous. The worst is she called breakfast break-thrast until she was like 9 no matter how hard I tried to correct it. It's so much easier to say it right! My niece called balloons kabloons, which was adorable. I also still call reflectors befwactors thanks to my sisters.

My three yo niece loves capers but calls them "pickle peas." Perfect.

Favourite words from when mine were toddlers...some we still use as they are super cute.. Alligator instead of escalator. Beach Ball became Beeballbut then anything round also became Beeball, even peas! 😂. Breakfast was Bakefust. Spaghetti became Sketti. Yogurts became Yourguts. Oh, and my favourite... freckles became crackles, which I loved. Especially as I am covered in them, as is one of my daughters 🥰 .

My son was a big fan of Sia's hit song "Cheese Frills" 😄 Found out when he requested in in the car. "The song where the girl says 'I love cheese frills!'"

I remember reading on here that a kid called Rhinos "battle unicorns" and ever since that is what I have called them.

I was upset to discover (in a first grade book) that these things on my hands are not THINGERS. Thumb and thingers. Made perfect sense to me.

My daughter called screwdrivers "poobibers" and the remote was a "mokeycho". She corrected her daughters so we missed out on their fun pronunciations.

As a Deaf child without a language for 7 years, when I first started to learn to speak - I couldn't understand how to pronounce consonants (s,f,c, g, etc) - my family tried to teach me how to say "cute" - instead I would always say, "Cuke!" They still always say "Awww, isn't that so cuuuuke?!" *eyeroll* and I'm 54 years old! LOL!

My oldest when she was 5 got to see newborn kittens nursing. She burst into the house and announced, "There's a Sibanese (Siamese) cat and her babies are sucking on her nibbles!" Cracked me right up 🤣

My niece was two. She could not say the SM sound. Smile was FILE. At the grocery store, I said “Look! SMUCKERS JELLY!” She did not just look, she announced it, too. 10/10 would recommend.

When my nephew was a preschooler, he couldn't pronounce "Ghostbusters" properly; it always came out as "Buttfuckers." It was especially humiliating for my sister when they would be standing in line at the supermarket and he would spot toys from the movie. "Look, Mommy, BUTTFUCKERS!!" He only stopped when it was obvious that some people were trying to get him to say it. But still......🙄
