We all know that kids say the funniest and craziest things sometimes; their young brains haven't been conditioned to follow our narrow rules of speech just yet so they quite often just name things as their creative brains see fit.

And you know what? A vast majority of the time, kids' made-up names for things actually make more sense, are much funnier and more descriptive than the originals could ever wish to be. Ice cubes? Nah, that'll be water bricks, please!

In the list below, you'll get a new perspective on things that we have been taught not to notice. Only the pure, unsullied minds of kids could come up with these poetic observations! Scroll down below to check them out for yourself, and feel free to add your own in the comments!

Clearly living in a warm climate. Would be "hand saviours" elsewhere.

Lol, that sounds like one of the weird new medications, like "Treat your diabetes with ECNALUBMA, ask your doctor for it today"...."side effects may include death, coma, heart attack, etc". I love your comment, it made me think! :D

I read this comment and realized I honestly couldn't remember the real name. Desperate, I googled "hospital car thingy." I'm ashamed.

There’s 2 year olds like that and then there’s 2 year olds like my cousin who correct people o. The fact that babies aren’t in your belly, they’re in your uterus 😂😂

we are Amblance people here, obviously in our household if you didn't know all our little quirks you would think we didn't really know how to speak any language :)

My brother, when he was small, heard us say that we heard an ambulance. He said, "where, where is the alien princess?"

My neighbour had literally just told me how she thpught her son wasn't quite ready for preschool when he goes "Look mum, its the elephants!" And we were both "Huh? What elephants?" But there were half a dozen ambulances. My neighbour then goes "And this is why he's not going to preschool next year" lol

Just call it sick-wagon and you don't need to remember the name because it is self explanatory.

When I was a kid I used to call beer or wine daddy's pop. Pop is what the Irish call soda.

When I was at school, with 7 yo, i was studying sea stuff for an exam. Our word for cave in "ensenada" and I started saying "ensaimada" that is a pastry-candy. Mother didnt correct me. The teacher corrected me in the oral exam and everyone laught, was pretty cruel cause I really tought I was doing it right. I got really mad with my mother for not correcting me.
