Parents Share How Their Kids Rename Things

Kids are still figuring out language, so it’s to be expected that they’ll they mangle words on the regular. But sometimes, they’ll come up with a word for something that’s actually better than the word itself. Like when author Tessa Dare‘s friend’s child saw a crow and called it a “Halloween eagle.” Dare shared this gem on her Twitter, and soon other parents began posting their own kids’ inventiveness with language.

Below are 15 animals and objects, renamed by a kid. Aside from being funny, these new names actually make sense when you think about them from the point of view of a kid who’s never seen one before. And a few of them might even be worth using instead of the original name! If you start using them in everyday conversation, we won’t judge.
