The Things Kids Say

[Barsel]

It always amuses me to hear of the things kids say when they are growing up and would love to hear the things you remember. I'll start by saying; when my eldest daughter was little she couldn't say beefburgers, she called them burfbingers ( I think it was a mix of beefburgers and fish fingers) and because it amused us, we called them that too. Went into the butchers one day and asked for 6 burfbingers and honestly couldn't remember for what seemed a long time, the proper name! Very embarrassing.

I got into a lot of trouble many years ago when my son was in nursery school (Church of England).

Over the weekend I was nailing down some floorboards with my son avidly watching. Unfortunately, I managed to hit my finger instead of the nail. Normally, I don't swear in the company of women or children.
It just slipped out and in agony I said "F--- it!

All that next week it was my son's favourite phrase in nursery.
Ver embarassing especially because I was on the PTA at the school.

I know what you mean. I have a friend who is approaching 70yrs old and she has always and still does, call a necklace a neckerlace. It always makes me smile.

Remember video recorders where it said FF. I always assumed that meant fully forward never thought it could be fast forward so of course, my children grew up calling it that too. I think they were married before they found out I got it wrong!

My wife taught in a primary school and one lad just couldn't his tongue around the word calculator. He always referred to it as a cal-it-a-later, in the end, and much to my wife's amusement the whole class ended up referring to it as a calitalater.

My daughters' nursery school teacher was called Mrs Makem . My daughter called her Mrs Makeup.

I have told this on here before but I will never forget it. We were in B&Q with our gt grandson and they were handing out sunflower seeds to kids. They had to enter into a competition so on asking our gt grandson “ and how old are you Daniel to which he replied “ I am 5 but only 4 when on the train as you have to pay when you are 5.” In front of huge crowd of folk ever felt you wished the floor would open up.

My favourite is when my son was being a bit naughty; I said ‘BEHAVE!’ He said ‘I am being HAVE’.
