When my son was 2 he asked for some cubumber.

And it was so cute every now and then I say Toby say Cucumber and ofcourse the response is Cubumber and it melts my heart.

Unfortunatly yesterday I said Toby say Cucumber and his response was Cucumber obviously I was proud he has learnt to say it properly but part of me misses the cute Cubumber.



So what words did or do your kids mispronounce that you think is cute

    My 3 year old has always struggled with the word biscuit. If we're in a shop and near the aisle he will say look at all the "bigdicks"

    I notice little uns' seem to struggle with the word breakfast. My youngest used to say "bleklist" whilst his cousin of the same age would say "bestas".

    I have no idea why, but when my son was 2 going on 3 he would use the word Gobby for a Frog. I'm assuming he was getting confused with Froggy!

    My eldest daughter called caterpillars "calapitters", and moustaches and spaghetti "boustaches" and "bascetti" I do miss that.

    Youngest used to pronounce my name (Chris) as "piss" much to the amusement of my eldest and the kids next do, to the point where I can hear them calling me it when they don't think I can hear. Such respect I command!

    My kids say 'dad is it your round' what they really mean is 'dad I'll get you a drink'.

    Ha ha. Rings a bell. When my kids were young we had a young french student stay with us on an exchange visit - bit of much needed extra money for us. The french lad's name was Christoff, which my 3 year old could only pronounce as Pissedoff.

    My littlest is 3 and obviously loves chips. He’s always called them bippies, but a couple of months ago started actually saying chips. WTF? I was gutted! He even goes as far as to correct me if I say bippies through habit. “No daddy, chips”!

    Just thought of another one. The little man loves Cheerios, but I always buy the cheap alternative from Lidl. He’s always asking for “effin Cheerios”, which shocked me at first. Until I realised the pack had an elephant on the front, so he was trying to day “elephant Cheerios” ha!

    When my oldest son Christopher was about 3 or 4 he had trouble prounouncing certain words, especially his name. Never the less when were away at a holiday camp he did like to get up on stage and join in with the entertainment and games.

    Normally once getting the children onstage the host would go round to each one and ask them their names. On the first few nights he had trouble making them understand he was called Christopher and probably felt embarresed.

    On the next night he obviously remembered the previous night's episode..............

    Host: 'So young man, what's your name?'
    Chris: 'Trevor'
