Parents Are Trolling Their Kids By Teaching Them Random Complex Words And The Stories Are Too Hilarious

I’m Brazilian, and somebody has taught my 7 year-old daughter to say “hipopotomonstrosesquipedaliofobia”, which is the Portuguese word for phobia of long words (kind of an irony). She’s been repeating that for years, just for fun.

I used to have a moderately severe stutter (still pops up on occasion, but rarely enough that hardly anyone knows) and big, complex words saved me. Can't get a short word out? Alternatively employ sequipedalian verbiage, enhancing conversation with synonyms of elaborate complexity which by chance bypass the stammer.

"Belongs to the collective" cracked me the hell up.

I taught my four year old the lyrics to "Liar" by Henry Rollins. Nothing brightens your day than a little voice chanting, "Cause I'm a WIAR! Yeah! I'll rip your mind out, I'll burn your soul!"

This isn't quite as weird, but I used to walk around the house singing: "OLD YEELLLLEERR! COME BACK YELLLEEERR! BEST DOGGONE DOG IN THE WEST"

When I was a child I watched a Finnish movie about a family called Kiljunen. When my family visited London for some reason I started singing loudly the theme song of that movie that repeated the name Kiljunen many times and of course it sounded weird for the English speaking people because Kiljunen souded like "Kill You Nen". My mom had to explain to the British people that I did not want to kill anyone, I just liked one obscure Finnish movie very much. :D

One time, I was trying to fit some blocks into some other toy (I was 2) and they wouldn’t fit, so I said, “Dammit, dammit, dammit!” My dad censored himself around kids after that.

Apparently it was `deoxyribonucleic acid` for me. Decades later, I`m still fascinated by Biology. :)

When my best friend's daughter was 2, she was obsessed with my then boyfriend's computer and was constantly tapping away. I taught her how to say Michael Douglas and Wall Street. It was hilarious.

I heard a 3 year old ask ”What’s in it for me?” everytime you called for her. Apparently a relative had taught her to say that during a reunion. It proved to be absolutely hilarious as her parents called for her or everyone else wanted to called for over for some reason.

My son and I were waiting gon a t-shirt to come in the mail. Well, it took over a month and he looks and me and says"maybe you need to contact the proper administrative office about this"

My daughter was always very fascinated with nature. She's been talking in full sentences since she was 16 months old (and hasn't stopped. She's 12 now) and I taught her to say "I'm a naturalist." At 16 months.

when I was 2 years old, every single time i saw one of those light up exit signs i would say perfectly clearly, "Exit!" people who heard was like :0 lol

My three year old used to say "welcome to my life" in context. Pretty sure he got that from me.

These are funny, but I don't like the one with the swearing. Parents shouldn't use that kind of language around their kids and they definitely shouldn't encourage it. That's just my opinion!

My mom tells me that my big word was dismayed ("consternada" in our native spanish). Apparently I was ~dismayed~ when the lights went off at her practice and I learned it from 101 Dalmatians when Perdita knew about their puppies kidnapping </3

I never censored my language around my kids. When my daughter would swear I would just say, "That's a grown up word, don't say it, okay?" She would say "okay" and not say the same word again.

My brother is a History teacher and when our cousin's daughter was years old he trolled her asking "who do you prefer, Lenin or Stalin ?" She answered with perfect conviction and it was quite creepy hearing that cute little voice yelling "Staliiin !"

Oh my god this is the best part of kids!!! My youngest cousin could not do her R's so we would bribe her to say things like "pumpernickel" and go up to people and say "what sweetheart." My brother started repeating "What the hell" at age two thanks to me and his dad. I taught him to go up to my female friends and say "Hey hot cakes." My other cousin just had a kid so we are all gearing up for what we are going to teach her.

When i was a toddler, my mom taught me to ask my brother "do you smell popcorn?" Whenever i farted. When i did he would be like "what?" And take a deep breath in. He gagged every f*****g time.
