What a lovely word...

[aka pixi]

My 2 year old neice was chatting to me the other day and called a snowman a mak-mak, i was intrigued as to where she had got the word from until my sister told me that mak-mak is the word she calls a duck (obviously meaning quack quack). Bless her heart, I suppose a round fat white snowman with an orange carrot nose sort of does look like a giant duck. I dont think I will ever call a snowman a snowman again :)

When I was little I used to call a tape measure a teasuring mape and a steering wheel a wheering steel.
A neighbours little boy was telling me about his teacher Mrs Freckles - turns out it's Mrs Eccles!

My 4 year old nephew & I were making a papier mache dinosaur landscape together & he mentioned that he really liked the big 'raincono'. Best bit was, when I realised he meant volcano and explained how it was pronounced he confidently told me off & said I'd got it wrong!

a little girl i sometimes look after wanted to play a board game and she saw a games compendium in my room. she is only three and the games were for about 8+ so i said (without thinking it was a bit of a hard word' no those are a bit complicated. she said 'why is it complicimated?' since then i always have to say complicimated

Sorry I was so pre occupied this morning I didn't finish my reply.

One day my youngest came home from school & said he'd had kwichy for dinner. I found out that it was quiche - bless him, it had always been cheese flan at our house!! But it was always kwichy after that!

Well .. in our 3 kids lifetime we have had three contutors, we rarely play Entol John music , usually wear demin jeans, eat pasghetti once a week, go to the park and see the cark peeker, go shopping and use the Par Cark and our current favourite (from 13 year old son walking in on us watching the news (bombs and everything) whilst discussing if the 5 yearold had hurt her eye, saying whats happened in Bhanderi?

Used to spend summer holidays at my Aunt and Uncle's house, where they had a fish pond in the back garden. My two cousins are David (my age), and his little sister Andrea. When David and I were 10 or 11, and Andrea was 2 or 3, she used to say she was going to watch the "fwush in the gargen". Still laugh at that today, as my Aunt lives in the same house, and I pop over there every week.

My younger sister used to call sweetcorn "peecons", her stomach was her "smotch" and she used to call armpits (which hadn't been shaved for a couple of days) strawberries!!! I now have a 15mth old and I can't wait for him to start coming out with funny words for things!

My son always called his little baby drinks cup a Tocktock !
Even now when making a cup of tea I ask him if he would like a Tock ! He is twenty five for goodness sake.!!
I am ashamed to say I asked for some woobelly biscuits in the Co-op once.Those marshmallow things.He used to say woobelly biccies instead of wobbly biscuits.My eldest son used to call iced fingers "Sticky Willies"!

[aka pixi]

[andrea_h]

my son (nearly 3) called his bottle of milk - 'more' , coz we always said do you want some more - now he says, he wants a 'top-up'. His grandparents dog is called Oscar but he says Oksar which is much cuter so we all say that now!!

[aka pixi]

Mak-mak! That's so cute! What a great post. I have some good ones for you:

My little sister called elephants 'Ungulumpties'

My best friend at school used to call biscuits 'Spickadicks'

And a little girl my mum used to childmind pronounced 'purple' as 'peepop'.

Sadly I don't think I had any particularly amusing phrases myself. But I did think my cousin's name was 'Packet'. It's actually Patrick.
