Nowhere near as funny as @LPG but Miss 7 enjoyed telling people last week that she got to see the "epicalypse" where the moon went in front of the sun
The way they pronounce words can be pretty funny, particularly when their mispronunciation is often more complicated than the actual word.
The etymology of entomology in this case.exploring the etymology of household terms can be fun. To avoid scaring the kid when he was small spiders in the house were referred to as arachnids. he caught on but couldnt say the word so we have arkanibnobs. thus a nibnob is a spider.
Best part of being a dad is trying to pull out the lamest dad jokes. I love it when I can get my kids to groan.@nzhumpy's comment in the WDYDTWFYBT thread reminded me of this one:
Youngest Canary: Dad, I'm hungry
Dad: Hi Hungry, I'm Dad
Mum: Haha, nice Dad joke, Dad!
Youngest Canary: Dad, I don't like your Dad jokes!
We once had a game of I-Spy when I was a kid where we couldn't guess my sister's word that began with C. Turns out it was also a train.Sounds like conversation I had with my daughter about words starting with "CH"
Chips, Chocolate, Chicken, Train (Ch-rain)

FINALLY...the internet has a purpose!!!I have a google nest in the home office. I usually have the mic off but I realised it was on at the end of work yesterday. My 3YO came in and I showed him how to say "hey google, do a fart" which led to him asking google silly questions about race cars and just rambling on to google confusing it. Pretty funny but not easily conveyed.
Today we came back from the supermarket and were putting things away and he spotted the box of paddlepops in the freezer. He was being pretty demanding and would not let go of the idea of having a "rainbow icecream". after having to close the freezer the 8th time and tell him he couldn't I told him to ask google if he could have an icecream. So he goes to the office and asks if he can have an ice cream. I got 10 rare minutes of peace and quiet while I hear him arguing with google about him getting a rainbow icecream while google recites icecream health facts from Wikipedia back at him. My wife and I were pissing ourselves.
