I was trying to cajole my oldest into accompanying me to brush his teeth or something, and tried to say two things at once: “C’mon, my bud!” and “C’mon, my chum!” (I’m a firm believer that using unusual language helps them develop. And it’s fun!)
Unfortunately, saying them both came out as “C’mon, my bum!” He was three, and still remembers it…
Yes, but the real dad thing is to say that when you see horses, and say “look, horses” when there are cows.
One time I saw horses and got really excited but forgot the word for them so I excitedly yelled “PUPPIES!”
My family never let me live that down. It’s been over 5 years now, and they still tease me by saying “look, Mom, puppies!” while pointing at horses.
