My dad used to say "suit yourself" in any situation applicable. Being about 4-5, I had no idea what it meant, just when it was used. However, I didn't hear that. I heard "shoot yourself". So whenever someone wanted to do something I told them proudly "shoot yourself". Once I figured this out, I started to understand why I got strange looks.

I always imagined guns that fired seashells when I heard or read about artillery (and the 'shells' they fired). I still occasionally find myself thinking of a big gun firing large, white seashells at troops 😳
Problem was, as a mechanical and creatively minded boy, I spent hours upon hours, agonising over how the barrel would have been shaped to accommodate such irregular shaped projectiles. True story! Nowadays, I know how it would be done (though a reason for doing so still alludes me) haha

My brother loved grilled cheese growing up, but would never order it from the kiddy menu because he thought it was "girl cheese", so my dad, with a perfectly straight face, would order a "boy cheese sandwich" for him.

This thread reminds me of the YouTube video with the little girl trying to say sparkling wiggles but instead it sounds like a naughty racial slur

When I was little-little:
Mososyso - Motorcycle
Hodiopter - Helicopter
Pluglow - Pillow
Dadonalds - McDonald's
Restauranc - Restaurant
Star Track - Star TrekI would see coupons in the paper: "$3.98 You save 50 cents!". I thought you had to put 50 cents in the piggy bank if you wanted to buy it.

My friends daughter used to say 'tromputer' instead of computer, and theres a brand of butter called 'Lurpack', which she insisted on calling 'Lurpacky'. At volume, every time they went shopping.

Well, I thought the lyrics to the Transformers theme song were "Robots in the skies" when I was little. And I don't know how I misunderstood so miserably, but I used to think in the song Rosanna, they were singing "Go sailing". I remember singing along to the radio, "Go sa-a-a-ailing...." and my dad gave me a really funny look, and asked me if I was saying 'Go sailing'. That's when I learned the sad truth... 😔

When I was little, my parents would tell me to "bring me the remote" or "bring me that paper." (basically "bring me____)
I used to hear it as "BURN me the remote" or "BURN me that paper"
Needless to say, I have burned lots of things on the flame stove we had. Remotes, clothes, shoes, paper, etc.
