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.

My 4 year old has called headphones ‘robot ears’ since she could talk. That’s what I call them now

Here in Southern Africa traffic lights have always been called 'robots' so robot stairs... can't believe we didn't think of that!

Who else used to love going up the escalator then riding back down and so forth for hours at the mall while they waited for their parents?

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.
