36 hilarious tweets and videos featuring made up toddler words.

Kids truly do say the darndest things. If you’ve spent enough time around toddlers still learning the ins and outs of language and talking, you may have heard them say some crazy stuff. It’s fairly simple for them to get the basics down, like "yes," "no" and "mama." But, for the more advanced words out there? They either totally mispronounce the word and something different comes out of their mouths. Or, they’ve made up their own names for things.

Thanks to social media, parents have started sharing funny toddler words from their children via tweets and TikToks. So, if you haven’t been around “toddler talk” enough, this list of 36 hilarious workaround words and mispronunciations will be sure to make you laugh. These words are equally creative as they are funny—and some are even sort of genius.
