My friend’s 5-year-old just saw a crow and called it a “Halloween eagle.”

And a child shall lead us. It is known. This is the new name for the bird-formally-known-as-crow. You know what to do, @MerriamWebster.

After passing a Veterinarian's office, my 5y/o excitedly stated:
"Look, there's the puppy-hurt store!"

When my son was little, he used to say “fasting” instead of running. “Look Mom! I’m fasting!”

As a toddler, my son was king of properly renaming things. This is why my vocabulary now includes gems like “boo boo trucks” and “bed skins” (ambulances and sheets, obviously).

A friend's 5 yr old saw a rhino and called it a "Battle Unicorn". Can we let 5 yr olds christen new species please?

A friend’s 5yo was wailing about seeing “flamingo witches” after watching the National Geographic channel. Took a little while to figure out she was talking about vultures.

My two year old son calls beards/facial hair “face grass”. It started like a year ago and we can’t bring ourselves to correct him.

When my daughter was 3 or 4, she called a smoke stack at a local business a "cloud factory." Yep, that *is* what it looked like!

My daughter when she was 3 made the word “Lasterday” meaning any day before yesterday. “I was born lasterday” or “Remember when we went to the store lasterday”

A kindergartner told me she liked my hand socks…gloves obviously. But now forever hand socks.
