Funny Things Kids Say

One of the fun things of being around kids (parent or otherwise) is the great things they say, here are some of my favorite language interpretations from our house:

Polka Dots = Dolka Bots (was sad when my daughter outgrew this one)

Saturn = Saturin (kind of like saccharin but more celestial)

Jupiter = Juptiter (and you must say this with enthusiasm, it is a big planet, “JOOP-titer”!

Covers = Cubbers (Mom, tuck me in under the cubbers!)

Thanks = Stanks! (I think we’ve all adopted this one)

Flamingo = Flingerbell (distant relative of Tinkerbell perhaps?)

Helicopter = Hockey Dockey (Look – it’s a hockey dockey!…much more fun to say than helicopter anyway)

Diary = Diarrhea (we did actually work on correcting this one…”Look at my new diarrhea” didn’t go over well with company)
