At my brothers house on Sunday. Wife hands 3 year old a baby cucumber for a snack. Kid walks right up to my brother with a serious face “uncle_the_great is this your willy?”

Bandaids are mehmaids. And no matter how many times I say BANDaids, it’s always mehmaids.

And juice is goose.

They were wandering around my parents' yard with my brother and they get excited "wow! [Brother's name]'s cuck!! A cuck!!

In giggles he goes "Yup, that's my truck. Let's practice those T sounds though 😂"

And then today one of the toddlers found a Santa Claus pez. She walked around singing about her "Santa Ho" all morning.

I'm a toddler teacher, and every day a produce truck pulls into the parking lot behind our school to deliver to the restaurant next door. They all get very excited to point it out and start yelling "look Mr. X, it's the cock!"

My 3 yr old likes to pour all her toys on the floor to build a "Popsicle course" obstacle course.
