Few things are cuter or funnier than some of the conversations or words that come out of the mouths of our babes. While we often wish these full-on toddler years to pass quickly, once they’re gone we’ll miss them saying ‘soupcase’ instead of suitcase and ‘nibbles’ for nipples. 
We asked our community of mums to tell us some of the funny, cute and cheeky things that their kids say, but we’d love to know if you’ve got any to add to this list!
Don’t kids say the darnedest things?
- Driving along in the car Mr 5 pipes up “I know mum, all the kids get a holiday for the Queen’s birthday so we can go to her party”.
- Master 4 comes running out of his room yelling “I have 5 hookers in my room” – he meant hooks in the wall.
- I was talking to my 5yo nephew about the 1980s and I asked who was born in the 80s and he replied “Jesus”.
- My 2-year-old daughter picked up a bangle and starts holding it above her head and spinning it around and I ask her what she’s doing; “I’m being Saturn”.
- Mr 3 to his Mr 1 brother “Jack you are driving me pumpkins”.
- Instead of telling someone off for using a swear word Mr 4 calls it a “square word”.
- Miss 3 said “mum you need a long piece of toilet paper, because you’ve got a big bum”.
- Mr 3 and I were nibbling on some cashew nuts and I asked him what his favourite type of nut was, after deep thought he replies “donuts”.
- My son’s favourite treat is to eat some of his dad’s honey soy chicken “nipples” not nibbles.
- We pick up my partner’s mum, nanna, from the airport heaps and my Mr 3 comes up with “are we going to the Nannaport”?
- My 3yo accidentally bumped his head on the wall while playing and after a little while he stands up and starts wriggling around saying “I can’t get the egg off my head mummy”.
- My daughter always used to hurt her “obow” not her elbow and had “matterations” which is her imagining something.
- Miss 3 says ‘hip-ups’ for hiccups and whenever she forgets something she says she “misses” it.
- I love it when my son says “Pirates in the Caravan” instead of Pirates of the Caribbean.
- Mr 4 hurt his chin and told me “my beard hurts mummy”.
- When my son was about 2 he said “hiccin’ uppin” for hiccups and “bless yous” were sneezes.
- My 3.5yo never says “I love you” to my husband or I, instead he will randomly say “Happy Mother’s Day or Happy Father’s Day to us when we tuck him in bed, we know what he means.
- Our daughter used to call tears “cry drips”.
- My 2yo son says f*&k instead of “look”.
- Our girls aged 4, 6 and 7 say things are “upsy down town” instead of upside down, they also called grated cheese “sprinkle cheese”.
