The Island of Misnamed Toys

sick

If I ever produced a video this funny, you can guarantee that I would promote my own website on it.

But even though my own children mispronounced words in the same funny way, I wouldn't put them on the internet doing it. They grow up too fast.

This is from an established mommyblogger with a good-sized following. I entertained the idea that this story is probably embellished and/or exaggerated, but probably has a grain of truth. And even if it is totally fake, I wouldn't care much, because it's still funny.

Anyway, she posted a followup in which she invites parents to share the odd names their kids give to toys, and has over 100 comments.

Equally "offensive" but a lot harder to argue that it's fake. And not a hint of an agenda.
The "video" from this post is just pictures with a funny caption and then saying they were made up by a child. And promoting a website.

- It is promotion for a website (as was the first comment here curiously).

- "Designed" to cause a stir, go viral (or hope to), get attention.

- Video is trivially easy to make (but offers no proof whatsoever that it is real).

- Kids don't do that kind of thing, not to that extent.

- Unverifiable.

The whole thing just rubs me the wrong way, what can I say.
(But you're right that I just think this is fake, I am not 100% certain.)

What makes you think it's fake?

Wow, you had to share on Facebook. OMG.

And good luck with the tanning btw.

(PS: I call shenanigans on this whole thing.)

Too funny! Had to share on Facebook :-D Thanks for posting!!

That was awesome.

I nearly passed out laughing!

This makes me really look forward to mommyhood. Seriously. LOL

My nephew couldn't understand why he couldn't name two of his stuffed owls "Hooter" and "Pecker".
