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 (now 17 year old) used to call the Simpsons the "Symptoms". My dad thought this was hilarious!

My little brother could never seem to remember the word "remind" so if he would always say that something "remembered him of..."

One day when they were playing a game where they had to remember things...my grandaughter said "I hope I don't have to remember because my re-memberer is full."

My 5yo daughter says remembery too. We lost a dear friend a few months ago, and her favourite book about death and dying is "The Memory Tree", which she calls The Remembery Tree

Actually seems to be common among people, I've heard plenty using this word instead of the correct one.

Seems like all my babies always said " hold you me" when they wanted to be held.

Love it! Especially when you consider we also use the phrase memory palace for memory enhancement training techniques.

We all have brainfarts occasionally when the guys in the remembery department misplace their pieces of information. Not my fault!

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

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.
