Choo-choo birds and Dracula bins: this hilarious thread proves that kids should name everything

This Twitter thread is exactly the piece of sunshine we needed today. 

Writer Tessa Dare was out with her friends children when the 5-year-old spotted a crow. She called a "Halloween eagle". Too cute. 

My friend’s 5-year-old just saw a crow and called it a “Halloween eagle.”

And a child shall lead us. It is known. This is the new name for the bird-formally-known-as-crow. You know what to do, @MerriamWebster.

Thus started the cutest Twitter thread we've seen in yonks- alternative names kids give to things. 

From animals: 

My 5 year old son calls seagulls "beach chickens"

A friend’s 5yo was wailing about seeing “flamingo witches” after watching the National Geographic channel. Took a little while to figure out she was talking about vultures.

To all kinds of food: 

My nephew calls all pockets on his clothes “snack holes”

— Renee (@reneeleore) 5 June 2018

When my oldest was around 4, he taught us that the real name for tortillas is “circle bread”

Pesky body parts: 

When my daughter was 4, she starting calling her veins “Blood Travellers”.

My five year old was explaining to me how she solved a math problem, “When I didn’t have any more fingers, I just counted my toe thumbs.” From this day forth our big toes will forever have a new name.

A kindergartner told me she liked my hand socks…gloves obviously. But now forever hand socks.

All about that technology: 

My 2 yo thinks Siri is called Seriously. She doesn't actually know how to use Siri, so she picks up my phone and yells "seriously! call grandma!" at the screen.

This kids is going places- literally: 

When my son was little, he used to say “fasting” instead of running. “Look Mom! I’m fasting!”

Wrong time and place maybe? Still hilarious though.

My 5-year old attending his first funeral seeing the closed casket: "Is that a Dracula Bin?". It is now!

Transport will never look the same again: 

My education professor told us his daughter referred to airplanes as "choo-choo birds."

Hygiene first, adorableness second:

As a kindergarten sub, I heard a 5yo refer to hand sanitizer as "hanitizer" and now that's the only way I refer to it.

Surprisingly deep and poetic…  

My daughter once referred to dreams as "The Stories In My Eyes"

 That just made our day! Do you have any cute kiddie names for things?
