Funny Things Kids Say

Posted in Kid Funnies

My parents are always telling me they are amazed by how big Samuel's vocabulary is.  I say, I just read a lot to him.  He is always stopping me to ask what a particular word means and it really makes me have to think hard about how to explain a word in terms he will understand.  Anyway, I think it's funny some of the words he makes up so I thought I'd share a couple:

Combining klutz and clumsy - "Mommy, I'm being a clumz today" when he kept bumping into things.

"It's eighty-one o'clock, time for bed" - It was 8:05, but I haven't taught him how to read the minute hand, only the hour hand.

Pronunciation issue - "worm" for "warm", as in "it's worm outside today, I don't need a coat"

Mostly I love the fact that when I start fussing at him and he realizes he was wrong, he immediately says, "Mommy, I love you so much" and starts hugging and kissing me.  How can you stay mad at a child like that?

I used to love the little words my daughter said wrong too - there weren't a whole lot, so the ones she did say wrong, I thought were so cute that I would never correct her. One of my favorites was "froggy" for "fog".
