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!

I'm glad I'm not the only one calling BS on this one. Doesn't do the cause any good.

Cool, except General mills will sue Kellogs if they ever used the word Cheerios.

you should be proud of your son, but more than that you should be proud of yourselves to raise him with that attitude toward people, WELL DONE!

My daughter always called skunks "STUNKS". Way better name. She was 10 before someone corrected her!

I don't care if this is true. If I were American I would call those things Pride Cheerios from now on (they are not as popular here in Germany)

abusing us. Choosing and monitoring food and liquid intake as obsessively and strictly as the parents who spent every waking hour teaching their kid to play tennis or follow a black line at the bottom of a pool every bloody dawn before school and dusk after DETERMINED to raise a physically fit and mentally focussed pro athlete mega millionaire and medal and trophies GALORE so... our parents were all NUTS with insisting on healthy eating ABUSIVELY, sure. They never got banned from the Australian Open (?)!for bashing us with a raquet but thats down to us not playing tennis or anything well enough regardless of number of beatings. Our generation have depression and bulimia THROUGH THE ROOF or OFF THE CHARTS or whatever best says: a large proportion of our gen are f****d up because of ‘healthy food’ and our parents feeling duty bound to control everything by getting it inside us. That sounds wrong I know but... IT WAS WRONG.

Love it! Please reward him by providing an actual edible food stuff or stuffs for breakfast from now on though (esxcept duribg the month of march when Pride Cheerios can be tolerated much like ‘the.Festive Season’ is treated by many in many cultures as a time of year it is appropriate (even obligatory and in any case: inevitable) that young and old alike put any kind of s**t in their mouth at all and attempt to eat it (for the most part successfully) regardless of how it tastes, wether it will provide any nutrition or in fact demineralise their bones and teeth on consumption and subtract from nutrition they got down in a previous, better meal (assuming as perhaps you yourself do that nutrition is absorbed from food except ‘bad’ food which has ‘no’ nutrition. Which is the truth but not the whole truth. You look smart so I’m guessing you’re a working and also: excellent mother. Relaxed. No control freak. Not out to boss your smart kid around like our parents bossed us around, innocently

growing up to become a jockey. Sith drug and alcohol issues. I know i’m crossing the line into ‘not my business’ plus WAY TOO MUCH TYPING WORDS but seriously how the f**k anyone can serve that s**t up (though obv name change is at least A selling point, a single one, FINALLY- but no I will defend the rights of a human child or adult to not ever be made to even halfway think for one moment that Fruit Loops are for eating. Or anything. Maybe make a pride necklace. Whatever. Buy muesli and/or actual candy or feed him Agent Orange and it’d be a better start in life/to the day. I mean it I am ready to call child services so do better breakfast shopping or else! Pride Cheerios is cool name change for uncool product. Sorry to get so ragey about this but as a kid I would sneak Fruit Loops in every chance i got, between ‘proper’ meals and whatever cereal my mum was into forcefeeding us that week that she was sold on being healthy based on fivre content mostly.

But so is ‘going the other way’ and letting your KID (however brilliant a worder and GLBQT sensitive and tolerant of artificial colours and preservatives. Sorry to go on and on but i’m trying to find a tactful way to say: buy muesli for christsakes and add colur by sprinking ANYTHING paint! Acid tabs, the multicoloured glitter they ‘sell’ in the confectionary aisle (inverted commas because I steal it on account it’s expensive and only sugar plus dye and I don’t bake (anything except neat so) yet I find the colours compelling and they know that so I take it freely til I think of a use for it that warrants me paying for it - but I digress - kids can maybe pick other food stuffs no biggie but CEREAL for BREAKFAST is OFF LIMITS (even teenagers nearing voting age will 9 times out of ten choose NUTRI GRAIN! The mind boggles. Fruit Loops are a non-edible anti-food stuff that will leach nutrients out of anyone who tries to eat them and may cause severe increase in your son’s chances of

Fiber even. Unaware that most of the stated fiber content in store bought breakfast cereal is in the form of crumbled pine-chip board or busted pavers or various other duilding materials soaked in folate in order to legitimately be able to pass it off as a sort of ‘food-stuff’ (food-stuff being a word coined by breakfast cereal manufacturers ... I mean. I did so many shits as a kid growing up my bumhole basically IS an elite athlete (at least in terms of muscle tone. Fruit Loops are bad but so is ‘healthier’ packaged options. No kid needs to s**t so much that their a**e has developed lips which they can purse. Not even Pride week would be able to nominate the value in celebrating that. Also eggs are very nice and croissants halved n toasted in sandwhich press and THEN topped with slices of cold Lurpa or any butter is slow release energy has a few nutrients and is filling and delicious. Does not seem to ‘mess’ with poo time or make a person’s b’hole look like a kardashian’s lips.

Sad to be indoctrinated so early to alternative lifestyles. Not something to be proud of.

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.
