I don’t know why but my daughter calls the brand of chocolate milk we buy “cow” and all other chocolate milks “different cow”. It’s infected my family and I’ll never be able to go back.

My youngest used to call cheese “dang”. We never did figure out why but we joked that cheese was dang good.

Apparently I used to point to point at aeroplanes and say “elephant”. My parents were really concerned until they realised that the mobile above my cot had elephants on them.

Jeff gave Reuben a stuffed Porg around that age. He called it a “bock” and we figured out that that was what he thought the word for chicken was because they say “bock bock.” Anyway, now we call Porgs “bocks” but also eat a lot of “bock tenders.”

When I was a child, for some unknown reason I thought a penis was called a peoples. My grandfather showed me a cookie shaped like a clover or something and asked me what it was. I said it was a peoples (also inexplicable). Everyone went along with it and that is why I am a leader

In our family, all carbonated drinks are “spicy juice.”

Ours was 'hoo-hi' (sushi). You will return to "normal".

My little sister called Tylenol “tylawing” and everyone in my family called/calls it that. I didn’t even realize I still did it until I asked my boyfriend (when we first started dating) if he had tylawing.
