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.

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.

That is the downside to not correcting children even if it is very cute.

School - it ruins a lot of the fun things. Either the teachers or other children will do it. Shame.

babysat a little boy that said bumgalls instead of gumballs and 30+ years later I still have to think of the correct way to say the word

Because I love squirrels and my daughter doesn't, she told her daughter the critters were called "evils". When my granddaughter started school, my chastened daughter had to finally correct that!

I’m 49 (and a half) and I call it that too! It’s been labeled as ‘Spoonerism’ and it’s meant to be caused by some brain problem. I don’t care. I love getting my mords wixed. It is now, and will forever be, Gubble Bum.

When my cousin was little he couldn't pronounce his g's so he called it bubble dum and grandma was...wait for it...dam-ma. He's 53 now :).
