This mum’s tweet about her child saying ‘blossom’ wrong got people all misty-eyed about their children’s similar mistakes
Well here’s a lovely tweet to pierce the gloom, a mum sharing how her youngest child says ‘blossom’ wrong and dreading the moment when they start getting it right.
Sometimes when your child gets a word wrong it's so adorable you're terrified they will realise the mistake and stop saying it. Youngest has been calling blossom "flossem" and it's a better word.

And it prompted a whole bunch of other parents to share the mistakes their children make, in just a lovely thread about love, life and the passing of time.

When he was tiny he called chocolate “chic-choc” and it was adorable and we were so sad when he quickly stopped doing it. Even though we all immediately started calling it that, he’d correct us.

My younger son’s first utterance at 13 months was at the sight of a bonfire night rocket…”Up sky bang”. Sheer poetry which I will never forget.

That is lovely. Ours still says “needles & peedles” and I don’t want it to end. Ever. 😁

It is a better word. Our 4 year old used to ‘moneys’ instead of coins

My son says chicklit chops instead of chocolate chips and I will never call them anything else from now on. He was also recently trying to remember what hot cross buns were called and eventually landed on “X Cakes”.
