KIDS NAME THINGS

(April, 2019) There’s a Twitter thread where parents have written about the funny names their kids come up with to describe the world around them:
– My five-year-old daughter calls the airport the “airplane store”
– My 2-year-old referred to her coat pockets as “snack holes”
– My daughter calls tears “wet drops of sad”
– My kid just called Fruit Loops “Pride Cheerios”
– My daughter calls people who are reading “book lookers”
– My 4-year-old just called the garbage disposal switch a “gobble button”
– My 4-year-old called ice cubes “water bricks”
– My daughter doesn’t know the word “braces” so she calls them “tiny jails for your teeth”
– My son just called a coffin a “skeleton burrito”
– My 2-year-old called the ambulance a “wee woo truck”
* Oh, shut your pie hole, you rug rat.
* Grown-ups come up with funny names for things too, but it’s mostly limited to sex acts and genitals.
* PHONE TOPIC: Does your kid have a funny name for something?
