20 Words Kids Mispronounce With Hilarious Results
When kids first start talking, deciphering what they’re saying takes the skill of a neurosurgeon. Aside from a few recognizable words, most of what comes out of their mouths is jumbled nonsense. As they get older, their speech gets clearer, but almost every kid hangs onto a few mispronounced words that are amazing. These 20 words kids mispronounce will make you laugh. And hope that they never, ever get it right.
1. Some of the best words kids mispronounce: body parts! A vagina can be pajama, pagina, bajinka, or China.

When your kid calls a vagina “pajama”, it takes curling up in a nice warm pair of jammies to a really weird place.
2. Fork=fuck

This is one of my all-time favorite words kids mispronounce. Nothing like your kid yelling out that they lost their fuck in a crowded restaurant.
3. Along the same lines: Frogs=fucks

“Look at all those dirty fucks in the pond!” Oh.
4. Squirrel=Phar-rell
Image: Giphy
My 3-year-old tried for 30 minutes to get me to understand that Phar-rell meant squirrel. She says it with a Brian Fellows accent that makes it that much more maddening and adorable.
5. Strawberries=strawbabies
Image: Giphy
Mmmmmmm, I just love biting into a nice, juicy strawbaby.
6. Kitties=titties
Image: Giphy
Oh, don’t mind me, I’m just over here in my pajama, petting my titties.
7. Breakfast=breffixt
Image: Giphy
Honestly, I probably say breffixt when I get really excited about breakfast and stumble over my own tongue.
8. Hamburger=hangaber or hambooger
Image: Giphy
Getting a hambooger when you were hoping for a hamburger is probably not great.
9. Nutcracker=graham cracker
Image: Giphy
“Mama, yook at all dos bootiful graham crackers!” Honestly, it works in certain contexts.
10. Aluminum=almusiwiudwqhj8
Image: Giphy
My 7-year-old cannot say aluminum to save her life. “Mom, can I have some alumswie98, I mean aluafATRSQF, I mean alunimumnum, UGH CAN I HAVE SOME TIN FOIL?”
11. Delfated balloon=disafwoated
Image: Giphy
As in, “This balloon used to float, but now it disafwoated.”
12. Sarcastic=starcastic
Image: Giphy
I mean, maybe being starcastic is being sarcastic with a little extra flair.
13. Spaghetti=biscotti or bisquetti
Image: Giphy
My brother is 33-years-old and probably still says bisquetti.
14. YouTube Kids=Kids Boob
Image: Giphy
Considering some of the content I’ve seen on YouTube Kids, this mispronunciation isn’t too far off.
15. Penis=wenus
“I’m looking at the WENUS and I am not happy!” Hate when the WENUS gets thrown all of out whack.
16. Instructions=constructions
Image: Giphy
Anytime kids use big words, they’re bound to fail in hilarious ways. Following the constructions sounds way more fun, tbh.
17. Guacamole=Barack-amole
Image: Giphy
Yes we can … get guac even though it’s extra!
18. Oatmeal=opameal
Image: Giphy
Calling it Opameal does make it a lot more exciting!
19. Appendix=dependents
Image: Giphy
“Mom, I need my dependents out!” You and me both, kid.
20. Earthquake=earth quick
Image: Giphy
Honestly, earth quick is a great way to describe an earthquake.
Every kid has words that they mispronounce with hilarious results. We want to hear some of yours, leave them in the comments!
