Any interesting things kids have said while learning to talk?

Question

Interesting, inexplicable errors - like a friend's kind who kept saying 'by self my' etc instead of 'by myself';
and also inventive things, like my nephew who said 'I am hungry for a tuna sandwich', which is far more precise than 'I feel like a tuna sandwich'.

Answer 1

My friends grandkids say "I not being hav." (behaving)

Answer 2

well lets see, my 6 year old, before he could speak well, couldnt say fork. instead the ork part came out sounding like uck. so... guess what he said? Was real interesting when he asked my grandmother for one!
When he was 4 he told a lady in walmart that she was fat, she laughed and said well yes, he then said, eat to many cookies? She just laughed and walked off, i was under the buggy.
My middle son was tongue tied, so he had a speach impediment until he was 6 and we had his tongue fixed. he couldnt say L or S or several other letters. He called my sister ithie instead of "sissie" which is what everyone calls her, he wanted to go lay down on some hay one time and told my husband he wanted to "go way don on da hay" it took him a few minutes to realize what he wanted.
Then one day my littlest saw my brother, who we call willy because his name is william, and screamed across the yard "Uncle Lilly!" He has yet to live that one down!

Answer 3

My son is now 13 and still asks for 'strangled eggs' as apposed to scrambled, but at around 3, I recall him quizzing me for days about why I wanted to 'dust' things when cleaning the house before we both worked out that I was 'un-dusting' and it wasn't my job to sprinkle the perfectly even film of fluff that appeared on things over time.

Answer 4

my son at the age of two walked into public toilet with his Dad and on walking in the door he pipes up to his 17 year old uncle already in there and could only see his back, hey .......... mine is bigger than yous, the uncle was embarrassed but what us parents dint say is that the dad and son had been talking about something else before they went in, now 8 years later he will tun to the uncle and say mine is bigger than yous. We all got such a laugh that day.

Answer 5

Once at the grocery store, we were all standing in line at the checkout and this probably 3 year old kid started screaming that he wanted a sucker...only he couldn't say the s sound...it came out "Mommy I wanna *uck her" he kept yelling it over and over again. His mother was beet red but everyone else cracked up.

Another time, at the checkout (Im always at the checkout) my daughter, aged 4 says to this woman, "You're black aren't you?"
The woman says "well...yeah..." and my daughter says, "Hows that going for you?" I'm so glad the woman was amused!

Answer 6

My 2 year threw a popsicle stick last night when she was told she couldn't have another one. She then looked at my dad and told him to go get it. One other time she was at my best friends house (she babysits her) and her fiance came in. Her kids went running up to him yelling at daddy and my daughter runs right along behind sayin HI Daddy Tim. The other funny one was when I came to pick her up and she met at the door and said Hi mom I'm dirty.

Answer 7

my eldest daughter has the same problem with smarties. The youngets who nearly 20 months calls her sister, who's name's Imogen and we call Immy, WEEWEE so embarassing she shouts it really loud if she loses sight of her when we are out and Im saying shes over there, people must think Im letting her wee herself, even though shes too little to be potty trained.

Answer 8

my 3yr old can't pronounce the L in clock and instead of horse it's hor. She always points them out in the shop. A hor mummy a hor or a clock a clock (-L).... Her younger sister just turned 2 and is following her footsteps

Answer 9

my four yr old son asked one of my friends with a very large gap between her front teeth(he stutters) "wwwhat what happen to your tooth,did you loose it? and before she could answer he tells her "wait right here, I'm gonna find it o.k and runs away. comes back a couple of mins later and shrugs his shoulders and tells her I'm sorry I couldn't find it! Iooked everywhere!! It was the funniest thing ever!

Answer 10

My son called cucumber "stocky fish". I've no idea why. He is now 21, and grew into a (fairly) normal, well-adjusted young man.

Answer 11

When ever we was out eating if anyone took an interest in my 2yr old niece and started talking to her she'd always ask them "whats your name little girl" and my little boy once asked his great nanny why if she was a lady she was growing a beard... Cringe! x
