Everyone knows kids say the darndest things and that includes the funny names and phrases they come up with to describe the world around them.
The comedic parents of Twitter have shared the hilarious everyday things their kids have renamed, from ice cubes to cereal brands. It’s safe to say we will be calling coat pockets “snack holes” from this point on.
Check out the hilarious errors (and spot-on descriptions) below.
Little kids may wake up too early but at least my five-year-old daughter calls the airport the airplane store.
