And feel free to tell me your kids’ funny words
By Moriah on October 16th, 2008
After we ate tonight I was having a little chat with Madeline in the backyard. She’s getting pretty good at these utterly hilarious monologues. I really ought to catch one on video.
Anyway, one of the things she kept saying was “he has a badegg” and I finally realized she meant ‘headache.’ (She pronounces the word ‘egg’ as ‘aay-g’ so in her mind it does sound like ‘ache.’)
She was talking about her stuffed dog, by the way.
Drew’s got a couple of wrong word usages himself. This morning I asked if he wanted his shoes on and he said “no, I’ll just nuse my feet for now, Mama.”
And both of them say “nemember?”
It’s a bit too cute for me to correct.
For now.

“I’ve got a pork in my foot!”
pork = poke = splinter
At least that’s the way I understand it!
“Mommy, I need paper toilet!” uttered by The Manimal (we are potty training).
“Baya’s ded” (batteries dead) from SS#1 at 18 months. Boy, are my kids techno-savvy or what! Funny thing is, the toy he was referring to didn’t use batteries. It was just broken and didn’t work the way it was supposed to! :)
My sweet daughter, until the age of six or so, so “mazagine” (mass-a-geen) instead of magazine and “bapitized” (baa-bit-tizzed) instead of baptized. Even at age eight, she still says “White as a SHEEP” instead of white as a sheet. I never corrected any of them, they were just too cute.
For years, Philip said “freerigerator.”
Crash = Trash
Pork = fork
Strollerler =Stroller (not sure where that one came from)
There are many others but it’s too early for my brain. :) Loved the post. Thanks for the laugh!
I love little kidisms. My oldest used to say hometel for hotel and I never had the heart to correct him, he finally figured it out.
Now he asks every morning for an appetite before breakfast. He means appetizer.
My 3 year old has always referred to the remote as “marote” (ma-rote)
So Lily’s latest funny word is actually not a wrong “baby” word, just a word I didn’t expect her to come out with.
I was putting on a new pair of her jammies the other night and we were struggling to pull the very tight arms on (’cause you know jammie arms have to be tight for fire safety) when we finally had her stuffed into them the arms were a little long and hanging over her hands slightly, she held up her hands looked at the long arms and said, “Mom, that’s kind of disturbing”.
(She’s 3)
“I have di-mons mommy!” (referring to the dimes Chris gave her to put in her piggy bank).
“Ryans’ jump-jew!” (his jumperoo).
That’s all off the top of my head.
Our favorite was 2 year old Heidi(now 14) who wanted wackagrony and cheese for lunch everyday
I got nothin’. But I’m leaving you a comment to tell you I’ve got nothin’ because I know you LOVE comments. :)
llellow, like llell-oh. Oh so precious word at our house. She can tell me how to say it properly now: “YELL-OH, Mommy!!”
