Driving on the highway, I told DD to roll up the window. She then asked if she could roll it down again when we got on the low way.

Op here and we say low way too! My DD6 started it when she was like 2 and it stuck.

Sleeproom = bedroom (because, of course, you take a bath in the bathroom, ergo you sleep in the sleeproom).

Fire engines are "fire gin gins". That's actually what I called them as a child, and it stuck with my kids (who, at 17 and 20, now use it a bit more sparingly and never in public!).

It dries my 9-year-old crazy that I still do that. I sort of do it half the time to troll her

Here's one for my childhood. We used to call hair ties owies because my little sister hated getting her hair put up in a ponytail. Even to this day they're still owies owies. We also used to have a family code word of rutabaga if somebody was teasing you too hard and even that one's lived on

Steakasaurus for steak. I don’t remember if this started with my dad trying to troll me or if I independently randomly decided we were having stegosaurus for dinner during my dinosaur phase but it stuck to this day.

My 22yr old dd still does too! 17 yo DS too cool for dada tho…

Many clothes, but only one cloe, is similar. "I can't find my cloe!"

My baby says this now too! I always laugh on the inside bc it’s true, mom controls the remote.
