AS we’re sure all parents will agree, it’s an incredibly exciting time when your kids start learning to talk.
But when it comes to wrapping their heads around some of the trickier words, things can come out sounding FAR different from what they mean – as one amused mum recently discovered.
Mum-of-two Kayleigh Bumstead, 29, from Walsall, West Midlands, was left in hysterics when her two-year-old daughter Lydia hilariously mispronounced the “Fat Controller” from Thomas the Tank Engine.
In a hilarious video, Lydia shouts “f***ing troller” three times – growing more confused and frustrated with her mother each time.
The mum explained: “Because she had been reading the Thomas The Tank Engine books, she knows the Fat Controller character.
“I have a newborn and he’s doing tummy time on a roller at the moment, for some reason Lydia associates the word roller with the Fat Controller so when I asked her to say it that’s how it came out.”
Kayleigh then shared the video on Facebook where she was inundated with comments from friends who found Lydia’s mispronunciation similarly hilarious.
She added: “I could barely compose myself, I just found it so funny, my sister said I should share it online so I did.
“I can’t wait for her to get older so I can show her, I don’t encourage bad language with her but this was just so funny to hear.
What’s more, Kaleigh also says her “sassy” daughter is loving her online fame.
The mum added: “She’s strong minded and when she wants something she doesn’t stop until she gets it.
“Just the other day she came home and I asked her if she wanted a drink, she turned round to me and said “I just need chocolate”.
“She’s very set in her ways, and I look forwarded to embarrassing her with this video when she’s older.”
