I was telling my 3 year old nephew to not touch spiders. There was a black widow on the door and I explained they can make you very sick. When he went home, he told his mom..."Mom never touch a Black Weirdo or you might die"

When my sister and I were kids, Dad would always have Program Files open on his computer. Sister, not knowing what it was called but seeing a long list of file names, dubbed it "The Big Listy Thing". Dad immediately changed the shortcut's name, and from then on it was The Big Listy Thing to everybody.

When I was a kid, my cousins dared me to always call a doors and gates a 'hinged barrrier' and I still do it.

my younger brother when he was a toddler had a few that i can remember; street cleaner = tooth brush truck. soft drink/soda = bubble juice (i still use this haha) and pads = mum nappies

My daughter called her belly button her belly butt and the song Amazing Grace was Amazing Grapes.....

My sister used to call strawberries wabbiebies and it was actually the cutest thing ever. She would come up to us and say, "Can I have a wabbiebie?" She also called biscuits "bikkits". I called princesses pancessss and elephants were ephenants.

I was sad the day my son stopped calling them waterlemons. Same letters only different.

At home, watching "Tinkerbell And The Great Fairy Rescue" with 4-y-o g/daughter. At the end of the movie, father says to little daughter, "I'll never doubt you again." G/daughter: "Yes he will! He'll doubt her next time we play the video."

My granddaughter told us that fog is just "lazy clouds, just laying around instead of being in the sky"

when my nephew was 4/5 he called his testicles a wiener basket. he didn't have the correct terminology yet, but no one would correct him because it was too cute. according to him, baskets have handles and well...you can see where that one is going.

My son used to say "Obama" instead of "the bottom of." So he would say stuff like "I drank all my juice and now I can see Obama cup!" or "I can see Obama the pool!" He also used to say waterlemon and dinoroar.

My son, 3, use to call computers "peters". Imagine the rage I felt when he said his stepfather has one and he let's him ook at it and play with it. It wasn't until he pulled me into his room where he had a Staples flyer laid out on the floor that I realized what he was saying. I was ready to call CPS, a divorce attorney and the police.

I didn't see "straw-babies or blue-babies" for strawberries/ blueberries. We still call them that
