One time I saw horses and got really excited but forgot the word for them so I excitedly yelled “PUPPIES!”

My family never let me live that down. It’s been over 5 years now, and they still tease me by saying “look, Mom, puppies!” while pointing at horses.

    I was trying to cajole my oldest into accompanying me to brush his teeth or something, and tried to say two things at once: "C'mon, my bud!" and "C'mon, my chum!" (I'm a firm believer that using unusual language helps them develop. And it's fun!)

    Unfortunately, saying them both came out as "C'mon, my bum!" He was three, and still remembers it...
