Adults Share The Hilarious Things Their Children Call Everyday Things
Anyone who has spent time with a kid knows that they can say some pretty zany things.
One of the funniest and potentially horrifying things that they do is mix up their words or simply make up their own name for something that is so ordinary to us that it blows our minds they don't know what it is yet.
I Hope There Were Follow-Up Questions
I see the logic in this train of thought, but I'm also concerned that this little kid thinks that humans will grow out of the ground? I mean, that's what being planted implies.
An Interesting Leap In Logic
Some day, this little one will understand what puberty is, and they'll be haunted by this moment because if only they'd known how traumatizing puberty was actually going to be.
Don't Ruin A Good Thing
Eventually, the novelty of hearing your kid say that word all Christmas will wear off, but it's worth enjoying it now so you can bring it up when they start dating.
Is That A Threat?
This has to be the kid making a subconscious threat: toys or else. It's toys right now, but as he grows older, he will pick other things to decide that he can't live without.
I'm Open To This
As someone who has been collecting gray hairs since she was 18 (which was many years ago), I like the idea of getting more powerful with each new silver streak, not just more tired.
This Kid Has Their Instruments Confused
In what universe is a harmonica anything like a trumpet? I do like the addition of "cowboy" to it, though, because when do you see anyone other than a cowboy playing a harmonica?
The Truth Hurts
This little boy has his mom all figured out and has already masted the art of throwing shade. He knows full well that anything she buys is going to end up in a closet somewhere never to be used.
She's A Formal Child
She's going to grow up to become the kind of person who always refers to everyone by their full name no matter what their relationship is. Being good with names is a gift.
Not A Fan Of Bed Skins
Calling bedsheets bed skins implies that when a human crawls into their bed they are essentially turning themselves into a weird, soft, fleshy ravioli. Something about that doesn't sit right.
It's A Common Mistake
When you think about it, this one isn't really that much of a stretch because the words do sound the same, even if they mean completely different things. These parents were probably wondering what their kids were learning in school.
We Should Just Leave It
Someday, this toddler will grow up and come to understand that the English language is so confusing and lawless that there are no real rules other than that every rule has an exception.
Mmm, Don't Like That
Calling it "sneeze gravy" implies that it's something you put on top of your food and then eat. I suppose children do eat their snot for a time, so maybe this isn't that crazy.
That Must Have Been Scary For Him
Did they never hear him ask about going into the dying room and just thinking that it was normal? How did they not notice? Maybe he just kept it to himself.
I Like The Confidence
Why can't it be a black-bodied redbird? Maybe that's more true to who those birds really feel that they are! Why have boring black feathers when you can be known for being red?
It's A Fair Question
"Avocado" is a hard word for adults, let alone a kid. They do kind of look like apples and you pick them off a tree (I think?), so the logic adds up.
That Was Probably A Self-Esteem Boost For The Rhino
Why would anything be called anything other than the unicorn version of itself? If I were a unicorn, I would be a tired one who watches too much TV. But that's just because that's the kind of human I am.
It's A Leap, That's For Sure
Flamingos don't even look like vultures, but I do buy that they would be the big bad witches of the bird world. They just have that witchy vibe about them, you know?
Well, She Isn't Wrong
This little girl is going to be a drama queen for sure. She's going to try and be an Instagram poet and go to an art school. I'm not hating, just calling them how I see it.
It Is Accurate
If you took a poll of the number of people who kept snacks in their pockets vs the number of people who don't, you would probably find that they truly are snack holes more often than not.
Time To Do Some Grooming
I hope that when it comes time for him to learn how to shave, his parents make a bunch of jokes about mowing the lawn and trimming the grass. It would be a missed opportunity if not.
It Is What It Is
We could all be a little more self-aware. At the end of the day, how many of us have more cow-like reflexes than cat-like reflexes? It's all about accepting yourself.
Is This Better Than The Garden?
I guess it comes down to if you're a taco person or not. Because, if you like tacos, then being buried in a burrito doesn't sound like such a bad way to go.
Gotta Love Kids Calling Their Parents Out
It is a timeless classic, watching kids call their parents out on all their worst qualities and habits they think are secrets. They notice so much more than you think.
They're Basically The Same
Like, I see where this kid is coming from. From afar, when they sit on their back legs nibbling on their little snacks, they totally do look like tiny kangaroos.
That's Actually Cute
It's nice to see kids embracing the things about themselves that should be embarrassing. But who decided that farting was embarrassing, anyway? We all do it, even if we don't want to admit it.
I Wouldn't Argue
When you think about it, this is kind of right. If you are going to compare your legs and your arms, your wrists and ankles are basically the same things.
They Look The Same
It would have been hard to know what to do in that moment. Do you tell them the truth that it's just a machine, or do you let them enjoy their childhood for a bit longer and tell them they might be right?
How Does The Dog Feel?
Depending on the type of dog, the snout can look like a beak. I think most dogs I know would be fine with people calling their snouts beaks as long as they still get pets.
What Is With People And Pickles?
So, I'm guessing this 5-year-old is one of those people in the world who feel like pickles are just the greatest thing ever. People either love or hate pickles, but usually, limes are OK.
You Mean It Isn't?
This kid is onto something. Any time you can eat after eating is a bonus. That's why I basically snack all day long. It's just one big bonus round.
