When at nursery, my daughter had a teaching assistant named Mercedes, who she called Miss Ladies. We never, ever, corrected her. Nor did Mercedes.

Our eldest used to call weetabix “weebastick” which is entirely appropriate given it’s like an industrial adhesive once it’s dried on anything

When my son was three, he had pins and needles for the first time: “I’ve got dancing rice in my legs!” he shouted, looking very distressed. I couldn’t bring myself to tell him the relatively mundane name for what he was feeling.

Spagaragus for asparagus is our current favourite. Although, my husband and I will also secretly be a bit sad when he stops pronouncing rectangle as ‘wanktangle’.

When my eldest son was small he had difficulty pronouncing the name of the leader of the Transfromers, so for a long period he became Octopus Brian. In a similar vein, Buzz Lightyear often went To The Cinema And Beyond.

I love this poem by Jim Dodge. My 2 year old is at the stage where he's mispronouncing words at the moment, I need to make the most of it… pic.twitter.com/2MfKiKSJ6D
