My 4 year old is into rhyming names at the moment, so I am mummy-wummy, my husband is daddy-waddy, unfortunately my neighbour is called jackie, and my daughter calls her jackie-paki.
She obviously at 4 has no notion of what she is saying, to her its just a rhyme for jackie, Ive tried explaining its not a nice word to use, but not wanting to get into a racism debate with a 4 year old, i've found it really hard to explain to her. I dont want race to be an issue, she goes to school with whites, blacks, asians etc and gets on with everyone, but the awful moment was when were were in the supermarket and saw my neighbour, so my daughter yelled out 'its jackie paki' at the top of her voice. I could have died of embarrasment.
She also tells everyone that daddy has a willy. It was funny at first, but now its just embarassing. And no, she has never seen it, so I dont know why she is obsessed with telling everyone he has one.
She also recently said to my friend...
'I want boobies when I grow up, but not ones that go down to my waist, like yours'
Out of the mouth of babes...

My daughter comes out with so many gems I have to write them down or I forget. She's bilingual French-English, so will come out with hlarious comments using the wrong word order, language or just the wrong word.
One that got me in a total fit was minutes before her christening in June (late one, at two and a half, she was just beginning to make nice sentences). She sneaked in the church before everyone, found a seat and took a good look around. She then spotted a great big huge whopping Jesus on his cross above the door. The crucifix had been hung at an angle, so He was leaning forwards.
She looked at me, pointed to it and went "Maman, is he jumping?". It was the first time I managed to have a proper laugh in a church without worrying about crossing everyone. We were well into the ceremony until I managed to calm down.
Another one was later this summer, we went on a boat trip spotting seals. There she was shouting "OH LOOOOOOK PHOQUE!" every two minutes... we had to make a point in only speaking French, repeating "phoque" very casually for the duration of the trip, but I could hear a couple of pacemakers going a bit funny every time. And those dirty looks, ooooh, they still haunt me!

Gosh, I don't know where to start! My three Sons said so many funny things and now our Grandchildren are following the trend.
I'll tell you the latest. On Sunday, I baked three brac cakes, but two were slightly over cooked. Luke didn't want butter on his slice. "Oh no thank you Nanny, it's quite nice with just the charcoal."
Last Christmas he was allowed to speak to me on the 'phone, "Nanny Mary, we've been Christmas shopping and we have bought your present."
Knowing how he struggles to keep a secret, I hastily told him not to tell me.
"OK, but I will give you a littler clue."
"No. Luke!"
"It's a DVD player." I could hear the great big grin behind the announcement.
"Oh, dear, Luke. We don't have any DVDs."
"Oh that's all right, that's the other thing."
Thank goodness I can act surprised - which of course, I did when Granddad and I opened our presents.

Just too many to list! Funny things every day!
Some of the muddled words from over the years are fudgy (itchy), mediator (radiator), ambimoose (ambulance), hoch (horse), siparit (syrup),hippopopamoose (hippotamus), two twices (two times), fok (fork), akscident (accident)
some sayings:
one of my sons was 4 and came home from nursery with a model - 2 cotton reels stuck together.
mum:what's your model of?
son:Not telling you.
mum: You're not going to tell me?
son:No. I don't know what it is yet.
1st son in P1 after one of his first days at school.
I only said I hoped she wasn't training us like a dog when the teacher said sit.
I deeded it by an akscident (tale of woe when one of them accidently killed a stickleback they fished from the burn)
I really wish I had more written down. I keep thinking I will always remember then kick myself the next day!Some good answers here. Was a good question!

This is a really good question and I've had quite a laugh reading it Sarah Kennedy used to do a spot on her radio program in the morning called terrible twos and she brought out a book of the same name it benefited children in need and really funny.
My son aged 4 is always coming out with funny little sayings he calls his breakfast bestard and one morning i had to explain to his grandad that he wasn't actually calling him what he thought he was.

I have a set of twins and a year later I had another one, all boys. One day when they were still little, they were discussing how they got here. Of course they asked me and I told them they were in my tummy. They asked me where their brother was when they were in my tummy. Before I could answer they decided that he must have been in my ankles.
When the youngest was little there was a commercial that played the song "you are so beautiful" So he would sing to me " you are so boodifuuuuul" He would say it real slow and when he said "ful" he would shake his head back and forth.
Teaching boys to pee in the proper places is hard. I had to try to stop them from just pull it out at Wal-mart.

When my 5 year old has his legs crossed for too long he gets "needles and PIPS" instead of pins and needles. also many moons ago i over heard my 9 year old sons friend (whilst they thought nobody was near his bedroom) point out of the window and call somebody an "R-stole".... know not funny to hear litttle ones swear but i laughed out of sight for hours!!!
i think it's a crackin question, and will be checking answers for some chuckles he he he

My twin nephews (now 3) couldn't get their tongues around 'Grandpa' when they were first speaking at around 18 months/2 years. It came out as 'Bummer'.
Hilarious when they caught sight of him down the other end of the church during a family christening - the vicar and congregation tried hard not to laugh but mostly in vain!

My son used to say "Fat Controller" very fast . It came out like F*#k Controller and we used to get some extremely funny looks. We managed to get him into Bob the Builder instead!
