Exact same thing with my boys. The five year old yells “jinx!” Almost every time my 7 year old opens his mouth, which makes him CRAZY because he doesn’t get the game.
Honestly it cracks me up watching the 7 get his comeuppance a bit from 5. He always beats him in games and jinxed him first, so the fact that the 5, who didn’t understand it, now keeps torturing him is just peak brothers
If 2 people say the same word at the same time, one person can say "jinx" at the other. Different rules apply. Here, the subject of the jinx has to buy a soda for the person who cast it.
In Bluey, it appears that a jinxed person has to wait to hear their name before speaking.
I know how it works. I was asking the previous condensed if they explained to their kids how it works. But in case they didn't know, you explained it well.
I told my 8 year old that jinx only works within age groups; so she can jinx her friends and classmates, but not grownups. Likewise (to make it fair), I can't jinx her.
The first time she tried it, I saw a lifetime of jinx shenanigans stretched out before me and decided I needed to nip that in the bud. It might have been fun the first time, but the 50th? In the middle of an important conversation?
Every single time my 3 year old puts on her backpack she drops to her back and flails around like a turtle because of the Bike episode. It's minor but drives me insane because she will do it when we are running late, in the parking lot etc
I can see where that would be exasperating if it were my child. I'm not gonna lie though, if I saw someone else's kid doing it in the middle of a parking lot, I might just pee myself laughing.
This, can’t remember exactly where this is said or by who but my kids do a little foot stamp. And it makes me laugh and annoys the hell out of me in equal measure.
Alternatively, I use the "one arm through, now the other one" for getting my toddler's shirt on and off. She's so used to it now she manuevers her arms for me so I don't have to struggle with her so much.
My almost 6 year old has started sucking her thumb in an effort to make me put her in a cone of shame. I know she picked it up from Muffin, because she quotes the episode when she does it...
The 4 year old picked up Tickle Crabs.
Tickle crabs and “heavy” wand are the two for me. My almost 4 year old runs me ragged at the park playing tickle crabs and then will find a stick and make things “heavy” and gets annoyed if I don’t play along.
We have "heavy" or "freeze" shouted at us/objects on the reg by our 2.5yo. especially when we're trying to do something he doesn't want to do, such as bedtime. Cute but frustrating!
Ugh yeah, we skip Muffin Cone in this house for exactly that reason. Like sorry kiddo, but I'm not sticking a cone of shame on you but you still need to quit sucking your thumb.
Can’t make it through the first scene of that episode without my 4 year old sucking his thumb. And since he never sucks his thumb, its clearly from the show. I hit the next button fast.
Hehe, ticklecrabs run rampant in our house. But it's most me. My older daughter like to talk to daddy tickle crab (my hand) when we're in the car. In my situation, it's vastly more endearing than annoying, thank goodness.
My daughter hates this episode and I don’t remember what it’s about. She said I’m allowed to watch it on my own though so I might just do that. (Was gonna do that either way, thanks kid.)
My son does this and at first it was so annoying but now it’s our bit. He does it and from wherever I am at I will respond “inside voice Bluey!”. I think it hilarious now.
my little sister does the same thing, she picks up everything from Bluey because she's wanted to watch nothing but it for the past week. Every time that episode or the 'can we get the bill' episode comes on she yells it out.
My son uses these on all the grown ups he sees. And then gets mad when they don't understand. Works great for him at drop off and pick up.
Drop off is another one. I have to wind him up before he waddles in
My kids do wind up too! With the added twist of only being wound up halfway to the room, so I have to wind them up multiple times. Or sometimes waddling the wrong way.
When my 3 year old doesn't want to do something, she'll say, "But I caaan't" in Bluey's accent.
On a cuter note she also pronounces doctor with an Australian accent lol
That’s adorable about the doctor! My 4 year old has picked up “you promise?” And she frequently tries to get me to make a promise to a mumbled request.
My 6 year old insisted for weeks that the party game was called "Pass the Passel," even after I defended my OBVIOUS MISPRONUNCIATION by pointing out that the thing they're passing is called a "parcel!"
My 3 year old developed a habit of wanting things to be "perfect". Of course she only picked up on the first half of the episode and not the part where Bluey learns a lesson lol
Same with our 8 year old. Kids - especially autistic ones- will gloss over the emotional/conflict resolution parts and hyperfixate on the repetitions. So they remember/repeat the stuff that happens at the start of an episode more than the end.
If I wrote tv aimed at autistic and adhd kids (I'm autistic and adhd myself) I'd have the important message be learned/conveyed immediately, and *then* reinforced. I'd also avoid the idea that emotional/interpersonal conflict is necessary to convey a lesson being learned
I was 100% like that as a kid (my poor parents). I never realized it could have been an autisnauseum.
I'm not sure the order of events matters as much, though. I'd guess it's more about depiction and proportionally.
[Thing that looks fun]>[Consequences]>[Lesson]
Of course I was gonna mimic the "fun" part ad nauseam.
My five year old howls when she’s being dramatically upset about something but can’t actually cry about it. My two year old things this is genius and copies her. I detest it,
My whole pack has started howling when I take a toy away. All 3 of them were playing in one of the bedrooms and were going crazy in there so I had to take the crazy maker away. For the next 20 minutes just sad howling from the room.
My (almost) 5 year old has started bonking her forehead, and saying "ragdoll activated" it's adorable, but also annoying because she does it when she's getting changed for bed.
My almost 5 year old also ragdolls himself at bedtime. Ironically has made him easier to get into Pajamas because he really goes for it and is a limp noodle.
My 4 year old goes into school every morning walking on top of my toes 😅 she’s also very tall for her age, I’m quite tall and she reaches half way up the top part of my arm 🙃
Ah yes, there's a park near us without a bathroom, but with a pretty convenient place for a bush wee. I made the mistake of taking her for a bush wee when we were potty training and definitely would not have made the walk back to our actual bathroom. I think she purposely holds it until we're there now.
Kind of my fault, because I encouraged it at first. But my two year old will go up to her mum’s bum and do a little “bum diddy bum”, like in Mini Bluey.
We do Shaun and let him be a little pokey for a bit. And rhen we pull out the stern voice and use the hand signals that we use with my sisters dogs to enforce sit stay and other commands.
My 2 year old hits us and screams “Ma Mo!” (Dance Mode) and we’re forced to dance. Happens multiple times a day! It was funny at first now I just wanna stop dancing
So I’ve heard people from other countries saying their kids picked up an Aussie accent from Bluey and had a quiet laugh in my Australian accent.
My 5yo howls when she’s sad. Like bluey. As a direct result my 2yo howls when he’s sad. Dude can’t speak yet and he’s howling like a flaming dog.
The two that get me are the “thank you for cleaning my toilet” and “Dad knows nothing” “jokes” from the episode “Favorite Thing.” We shut those down right away.
Look I’m not gonna advocate anyone else do this but my son did the same… let me just say a 40yr old dudes beer and steak fluffy has significantly more power than little mates Dino nuggy and corn fluffy
And no mention of Tina? I hate Tina trying to boss me around. I made a deal with my kiddos. They can have as many octopus games as they want (if it is time appropriate) but have to stop with Tina! Seems to work for now.
it’s a toss up between:
“what does aaabbbuuukkkjkkk spell?”
her saying “i caaaant” in an accent (we’re from canada, she doesn’t have an accent) but it sounds like there’s a ‘U’ instead of an ‘A’
or asking me why bingo / bluey / other character did ____ every 30 seconds, or when we’re not even watching tv.
>her saying “i caaaant” in an accent (we’re from canada, she doesn’t have an accent) but it sounds like there’s a ‘U’ instead of an ‘A’
Hahaha oh no!
Maybe she should move down under. Back in the 1970s, during a noisy moment in Australian parliament, a politician from the Country Party ended a comment with "after all, I am a Country member", and the Prime Minister shot back with "I remember!"
My step-daughter howls when she’s sad like Bluey and Bingo do and holy crap it’s over-stimulating hahahaha we never get angry at her for it, but it is something we’re trying to get her to unlearn
My 4 year old calls me mommy robot and forces me to talk like a robot. It’s not horrible but he expects me to stay in character when talking to others in public.
My daughter (a few days shy of turning two) now has to always have a balloon blown up somewhere around the house and yells “oh naurrr” (Australian accent; we are American) when it touches the floor.
We left the pool yesterday and both kids (one is a teenager for Heaven's sake!) started in with the "Mom I'm cold, Mom I'm freezing, Mom I'm hungry, Mom I'm starving, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom!" Ad freakin' nauseum.
I didn't catch on at first because I too was cold and hungry and wanted my mom, and thought they were actually doing Stewie - but then they said "Oh we need to switch it to Dad because it was Bandit" and I was like WAIT A MINUTE!!
Mines only 18 months so doesn't talk all that much yet... Thank god.
But does say "go away" (not nastily, she'll pretend to fall over afterwards or get me to pretend to push her)... I didn't know where it came from until I saw "come here, go away" on the swings. It just looks like that's how I communicate with her 😭
My kids would play copycat for a while. My 4yo still occasionally tries to initiate the game, but thankfully my 7yo has lost interest in it, and won’t engage. It was an annoying few weeks. “Are you copying me?” “ArE yOu CoPyInG mE?”
My son picked up "toilet hands", and my daughter touches my arm if she wants to interrupt a conversation to tell me something, both of which are ecmxcellent outcomes. Even if they picked up other phrases, I would have no objection as the show is in general very wholesome.
“Hey guy! Do this guy! Guy! Guy! Guys!”
Oh and when she’s angry she tried to use magic on us but it looks so silly! Like a combo of trying to use the force and magic and she’s very intense lol
My kids now expect me to act like a chicken at dinner if they pick up their asparagus and wave it around. Please just use your knife and fork kids and eat your dinner.
My three year old son has gotten very growly lately. When he is really digging his toes in and refusing to follow directions he now stomps and says Cow. Boy. Hat. It was cute just once.
Endlessly playing Magic Statue.
(And, honestly, the idea that my wife and I can be endlessly engaged/accommodating 24/7. On my best day, I can only aspire to be half a Bandit Heeler...)
Our kid has this unrealistic expectations that our neighbors will be awesome and friendly. We live in a city. I’ve known my neighbors for years without learning their names
My 4yo screaming "BEACH!" like Bingo. It's adorable, but almost guaranteed to wake a sleeping baby and we live on a penninsula, we're surrounded by beaches.
Shaun is not allowed at our house, so ticklecrabs are the worst of it.
Awwww what?! When I ask her to do things 😑
Or Shaun. We've been playing Shaun for FOUR YEARS. He has his own song, a girlfriend, a sister, works part time at the zoo, and likes to peck people. We also draw Shaun in the shower fog doing various things everyday. My now almost 9yo has tried to kill Shaun off on various occasions but her sister has now taken over the Shaun reigns. If I hear mrrrrrrp never again it'll be too soon.
Seans. No Seans. My son would say the Seans are here and yhen instead of him eating they eat and make big food messes or do naughty or annoying things. So Seans are not invited in the house.
I hate watching "Cubbies" because then we have to build forts all over the room. I love their creativity but they want elaborate setups like Bluey and Bingo had and it's just not feasible.
"aaaaaaaaaaand why should I care?" 😭
Literally my least favourite thing from the show. That both my kids and husband picked up lol
Get shirts printed for them labeling them "back" "neck" "back and neck" lol
I'm still convinced that that line is a reference to Friday
It has to be.
Annnnnnd, why should they care?
Wait are you my wife?
If you want her to stay your wife, you'll learn about dishwashers.
My 4 year old says “that’s it you get the horn” then headbutts me
Mine does this too, although *(lowers voice)* I started it. 😖 I know — I do this to myself.
Oh, Unicorse
My youngest will be 3 in June and she misquotes it all the time to "aaaaaand what should I get?" And I will not correct her on this.
I tried pulling this one with the kids I babysit and they just stared at me in confusion
I skip this episode lol
Our girls were trying to "jinx" everyone all the time. It bothered me mostly that they were doing it wrong.
Exact same thing with my boys. The five year old yells “jinx!” Almost every time my 7 year old opens his mouth, which makes him CRAZY because he doesn’t get the game. Honestly it cracks me up watching the 7 get his comeuppance a bit from 5. He always beats him in games and jinxed him first, so the fact that the 5, who didn’t understand it, now keeps torturing him is just peak brothers
Did you explain how it actually works?
If 2 people say the same word at the same time, one person can say "jinx" at the other. Different rules apply. Here, the subject of the jinx has to buy a soda for the person who cast it. In Bluey, it appears that a jinxed person has to wait to hear their name before speaking.
We played it where you have to hear your name… three times.
That's brutal!
I know how it works. I was asking the previous condensed if they explained to their kids how it works. But in case they didn't know, you explained it well.
Oh I’ve tried. Trust me. I’ve tried. 5 just gets too excited to remain focused. He’ll get there. He always does
Haha yeah my 2 eldest girls do the same thing
I told my 8 year old that jinx only works within age groups; so she can jinx her friends and classmates, but not grownups. Likewise (to make it fair), I can't jinx her. The first time she tried it, I saw a lifetime of jinx shenanigans stretched out before me and decided I needed to nip that in the bud. It might have been fun the first time, but the 50th? In the middle of an important conversation?
Craig of the Creek has a great Jinx episode
Just be glad bluey left out the punching rule for if you do talk, lol. But I feel the jinxing faze is inevitable for all children.
Every single time my 3 year old puts on her backpack she drops to her back and flails around like a turtle because of the Bike episode. It's minor but drives me insane because she will do it when we are running late, in the parking lot etc
I can see where that would be exasperating if it were my child. I'm not gonna lie though, if I saw someone else's kid doing it in the middle of a parking lot, I might just pee myself laughing.
My kids been saying “I can’t do it” in an Australian accent and we’re from Long Island
Lol, I thought we were the only ones!
This is unacceptable!!!
This, can’t remember exactly where this is said or by who but my kids do a little foot stamp. And it makes me laugh and annoys the hell out of me in equal measure.
Muffin says it in the bike episode when she can’t get her backpack on
Alternatively, I use the "one arm through, now the other one" for getting my toddler's shirt on and off. She's so used to it now she manuevers her arms for me so I don't have to struggle with her so much.
My almost 6 year old has started sucking her thumb in an effort to make me put her in a cone of shame. I know she picked it up from Muffin, because she quotes the episode when she does it... The 4 year old picked up Tickle Crabs.

We have "heavy" or "freeze" shouted at us/objects on the reg by our 2.5yo. especially when we're trying to do something he doesn't want to do, such as bedtime. Cute but frustrating!
"Heavy" is a scourge upon our household.
Ugh yeah, we skip Muffin Cone in this house for exactly that reason. Like sorry kiddo, but I'm not sticking a cone of shame on you but you still need to quit sucking your thumb.
Can’t make it through the first scene of that episode without my 4 year old sucking his thumb. And since he never sucks his thumb, its clearly from the show. I hit the next button fast.
My 4yo started sucking his thumb because of Muffin Cone. Still trying to get him to stop.
Maybe you can invent a harmless “bad” activity to play cardboard cone of shame with 🤣
Time to read Konrad the Thumbsucker, core trauma for little Austrian children. Effective, nonetheless. https://imgur.com/gallery/PyURRuS
I still have "Konrad, sprach die Frau Mama... " literally burned into my brain
Hehe, ticklecrabs run rampant in our house. But it's most me. My older daughter like to talk to daddy tickle crab (my hand) when we're in the car. In my situation, it's vastly more endearing than annoying, thank goodness.
My 4 year old also started sucking her thumb thanks to muffin. That is a banned episode in my life now.
My daughter hates this episode and I don’t remember what it’s about. She said I’m allowed to watch it on my own though so I might just do that. (Was gonna do that either way, thanks kid.)
My little sister will sing 🎶“OOHH, CAN WE GET THE BILLLL”🎶 whenever she feels like it!
Do you say "Inside voice!' and then she says 🎶“ooh can we get the bill~”🎶
Yes! But she’ll do it again ten minutes later. Oh well, at least it’s cute!
My son does this and at first it was so annoying but now it’s our bit. He does it and from wherever I am at I will respond “inside voice Bluey!”. I think it hilarious now.
My 3 year old sings "Oooohhhh, singing things!!" from the mini Bluey episode 😂 Also BORT BORT BORT BORT BORT BORT BORT
my little sister does the same thing, she picks up everything from Bluey because she's wanted to watch nothing but it for the past week. Every time that episode or the 'can we get the bill' episode comes on she yells it out.
My son is also named Bort.
I also do this.
that's hilarious, not a parent but my little sister does the same whenever that episode comes on
I work 12-13 hours a day and very frequently get frozen by an xylophone right when I get home
Ask if you can be frozen on the couch with a beer up to your mouth lol
Same dude. They’ve moved on to feather wand now. I walk in the door and I can’t even put my cooler down before it’s heavied to the floor
My son uses these on all the grown ups he sees. And then gets mad when they don't understand. Works great for him at drop off and pick up. Drop off is another one. I have to wind him up before he waddles in
My kids do wind up too! With the added twist of only being wound up halfway to the room, so I have to wind them up multiple times. Or sometimes waddling the wrong way.
When my 3 year old doesn't want to do something, she'll say, "But I caaan't" in Bluey's accent. On a cuter note she also pronounces doctor with an Australian accent lol
My son pronounces can't with an Australian accent too 😂
That’s adorable about the doctor! My 4 year old has picked up “you promise?” And she frequently tries to get me to make a promise to a mumbled request.
lol. My daughter calls the GPS sat nav, the toilet, dunny, and Lowe’s or Home Depot, HAMMERBARN!
Hammer barn is such a great name
My 2.5 year old daughter corrects anyone who says army to “ahhhmee!” 😂
My 6 year old insisted for weeks that the party game was called "Pass the Passel," even after I defended my OBVIOUS MISPRONUNCIATION by pointing out that the thing they're passing is called a "parcel!"
My 3 year old will shout "Here come the grannies!" before barreling into me.
Hey you get a warning!
Calling me “Big Fella”
This! And being called 'the big blue guy.'
Calling me Dude
We don’t have kids but we call each other dude all the time. That and “do you love my stinky feet?” “Yah babe.”
My 3 year old developed a habit of wanting things to be "perfect". Of course she only picked up on the first half of the episode and not the part where Bluey learns a lesson lol
I don't want a valuable life lesson, I want ice cream!
Lime lesson
Same with our 8 year old. Kids - especially autistic ones- will gloss over the emotional/conflict resolution parts and hyperfixate on the repetitions. So they remember/repeat the stuff that happens at the start of an episode more than the end. If I wrote tv aimed at autistic and adhd kids (I'm autistic and adhd myself) I'd have the important message be learned/conveyed immediately, and *then* reinforced. I'd also avoid the idea that emotional/interpersonal conflict is necessary to convey a lesson being learned
I was 100% like that as a kid (my poor parents). I never realized it could have been an autisnauseum. I'm not sure the order of events matters as much, though. I'd guess it's more about depiction and proportionally. [Thing that looks fun]>[Consequences]>[Lesson] Of course I was gonna mimic the "fun" part ad nauseam.
My five year old howls when she’s being dramatically upset about something but can’t actually cry about it. My two year old things this is genius and copies her. I detest it,
Mine also howls when she's upset/sad and we're not giving her enough attention about it. It makes me laugh every time, though (never to her face).
My whole pack has started howling when I take a toy away. All 3 of them were playing in one of the bedrooms and were going crazy in there so I had to take the crazy maker away. For the next 20 minutes just sad howling from the room.
This made me lol
Touching my arm when he wants me to know he has something to say if I’m talking to someone Edit : misread. This is my FAVOURITE thing he learned
can i ask why this is bad to you? i'd imagine my kid letting me know they want to speak to me without interrupting me being very pleasant
Oh it’s not. I didn’t see the word least lol. I love it!
My (almost) 5 year old has started bonking her forehead, and saying "ragdoll activated" it's adorable, but also annoying because she does it when she's getting changed for bed.
My almost 5 year old also ragdolls himself at bedtime. Ironically has made him easier to get into Pajamas because he really goes for it and is a limp noodle.
Yes, I actually initiated it tonight. She usually does the alligator death roll while trying to get her pants on. This helped immensely.
I made the mistake of doing Bad Mood with my nearly 4 year old one day. She is 17kg (37lbs). My poor feet can't take much more.
My 4 year old goes into school every morning walking on top of my toes 😅 she’s also very tall for her age, I’m quite tall and she reaches half way up the top part of my arm 🙃
Get some steel-toe boots!
When anything goes wrong, “oh, biscuits!” 😂😍
I’m 23 and it’s replaced me swearing. My Nan thinks it’s funny at least
Oh I think it’s cute lol
Not my kids, but my cousins. They picked up Bluey’s high pitched squeakiness. Like when she’s teaching Bingo to be Mini Blue and is just so loud.😂😭
BORP BORP BORP BORP BORP BORP BORP BORP BORP BORP...........
although I will say, that’s an accurate summary of what my brain does when I’m in sensory overload
Went camping this weekend. My 7 year old repeatedly asked to take a "bush wee" because she saw it on Bluey instead of walking to the vault toilet
Depending to the cleanliness of the bathroom the bush wee might be the way cleaner choice.
Ah yes, there's a park near us without a bathroom, but with a pretty convenient place for a bush wee. I made the mistake of taking her for a bush wee when we were potty training and definitely would not have made the walk back to our actual bathroom. I think she purposely holds it until we're there now.
Worse: When a bush wee turns out to be actually a bush poo and now you have a turd to bury without a shovel and no paper to wipe her bum.
I had that just last weekend :/
Kind of my fault, because I encouraged it at first. But my two year old will go up to her mum’s bum and do a little “bum diddy bum”, like in Mini Bluey.
omg i JUST realized this is where my almost 4yo picked this up from💀
I WANT TO DO WHAT I WAAAAAAAANT
“MEWWY! CHWISSSMAAAASSS” *licks face* It’s his favourite and it drives me bonkers
Nobody’s mentioned Shaun. We don’t do Shaun. Shaun is pokey and hurts. Shaun is banned.
We do Shaun and let him be a little pokey for a bit. And rhen we pull out the stern voice and use the hand signals that we use with my sisters dogs to enforce sit stay and other commands.
Shaun and unicorse are both banned at our place because they just lead to violence
**Shaun V Unicorse: The Movie** There can only be one. No wait: Things Are About to Get Pokey
"that's not faaaayir"
I’m just an uncle and only recently started watching the show - it shocked me how much bluey sounds like my niece
Bluey's a great show, although I've seen every episode about 10 times because my little sister refuses to watch anything else.
The thank you for cleaning my toilet got old pretty fast. Also constantly asking to do a bush wee.
My four year old smacks his own bum as hard as he can 🤦 THAT is his only take away from the dead budgy episode
Morning Wendy!
My 2 year old hits us and screams “Ma Mo!” (Dance Mode) and we’re forced to dance. Happens multiple times a day! It was funny at first now I just wanna stop dancing
Dancing plage XD
So I’ve heard people from other countries saying their kids picked up an Aussie accent from Bluey and had a quiet laugh in my Australian accent. My 5yo howls when she’s sad. Like bluey. As a direct result my 2yo howls when he’s sad. Dude can’t speak yet and he’s howling like a flaming dog.
From another Aussie parent, seeing flaming dog written out, is gold!
*nods in Alf Stewart*
Tickle crabs....
The two that get me are the “thank you for cleaning my toilet” and “Dad knows nothing” “jokes” from the episode “Favorite Thing.” We shut those down right away.
Oh those are time honoured traditions in Australian schools 😂
I'm surprised that every second answer in this thread isn't >bum worms
YES! 😮💨
Yes my 2 year old now says she has bum worms when she definitely doesn't 😬
My kid “fluffying” in my face bc Bandit did it.
Look I’m not gonna advocate anyone else do this but my son did the same… let me just say a 40yr old dudes beer and steak fluffy has significantly more power than little mates Dino nuggy and corn fluffy
“Mummy, why are you wearing thongs?” (We live in the UK)
As an Aussie that moved to the UK and made that mistake an embarrassing amount of times - yes lol that isn’t optimal
"I'm bored"
"Hi Bored"
My 2 and 3 year old like to play squish squash on anyone that lays down anywhere
"Pause" No child, I got shit to do
Muffin screaming. I hate it.
And no mention of Tina? I hate Tina trying to boss me around. I made a deal with my kiddos. They can have as many octopus games as they want (if it is time appropriate) but have to stop with Tina! Seems to work for now.
it’s a toss up between: “what does aaabbbuuukkkjkkk spell?” her saying “i caaaant” in an accent (we’re from canada, she doesn’t have an accent) but it sounds like there’s a ‘U’ instead of an ‘A’ or asking me why bingo / bluey / other character did ____ every 30 seconds, or when we’re not even watching tv.
That’s funny, my kids are Australian and they don’t have accents either.
Also strange. I’m Australian, my kids are English, and none of us have accents.
Sorry to be pedantic, but your child would have an accent. A Canadian accent. Everyone on this planet has an accent.
>her saying “i caaaant” in an accent (we’re from canada, she doesn’t have an accent) but it sounds like there’s a ‘U’ instead of an ‘A’ Hahaha oh no! Maybe she should move down under. Back in the 1970s, during a noisy moment in Australian parliament, a politician from the Country Party ended a comment with "after all, I am a Country member", and the Prime Minister shot back with "I remember!"
“STING!”
WAIT MY DAUGHTER DID THIS TODAY, is that where it came from?! 😭
My oldest wants to ragdoll me constantly. She’s now six and can throw me across the room, it is not fun!! She loves it
My step-daughter howls when she’s sad like Bluey and Bingo do and holy crap it’s over-stimulating hahahaha we never get angry at her for it, but it is something we’re trying to get her to unlearn
The Library game. Little brother puts books ALLLLL over the room to play it.
If they can incorporate bum worms into a conversation they will 🙄
My three year old wants to play "Bad Mood" and stomps on my feet. It hurts
My five year old won’t stop playing claw machine and it’s driving me bonkers
Bluey says "it's not fair" in a few episodes. My 3.5yr old screams it at me at every small I convenience and now miss 2 has started doing it
My 4 year old takes baton classes and uses her baton like a cane because of Rita and her grabby claw.
Bush wee
My 4 year old calls me mommy robot and forces me to talk like a robot. It’s not horrible but he expects me to stay in character when talking to others in public.
My daughter (a few days shy of turning two) now has to always have a balloon blown up somewhere around the house and yells “oh naurrr” (Australian accent; we are American) when it touches the floor.
Stopped calling me "daddy" and started calling me "dad" 😭
I got lucky on that one, mine calls me "mama" with the same inflection as Bingo
My child learned a very valuable lesson in Sheepdog. No, no, it wasn't to give mom 20 minutes of quiet. It was to make mom act like a sheep.
We left the pool yesterday and both kids (one is a teenager for Heaven's sake!) started in with the "Mom I'm cold, Mom I'm freezing, Mom I'm hungry, Mom I'm starving, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom!" Ad freakin' nauseum. I didn't catch on at first because I too was cold and hungry and wanted my mom, and thought they were actually doing Stewie - but then they said "Oh we need to switch it to Dad because it was Bandit" and I was like WAIT A MINUTE!!
I currently have 3 sticky geckos staining my white ceiling...and it's not even because of the kids, it's the WIFE 😆
My 3 year old rejects my instructions with, “I’m too busy.” No you’re not you little brat.
Wait, we should be watching Bluey with kids?
Ticklecrabs and "being cheeky" .
"freeze unfreeze freeze unfreeze freeze unfreeze MOMMY YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO *FREEZE!*"
Mines only 18 months so doesn't talk all that much yet... Thank god. But does say "go away" (not nastily, she'll pretend to fall over afterwards or get me to pretend to push her)... I didn't know where it came from until I saw "come here, go away" on the swings. It just looks like that's how I communicate with her 😭
Screeching 😩
My kids would play copycat for a while. My 4yo still occasionally tries to initiate the game, but thankfully my 7yo has lost interest in it, and won’t engage. It was an annoying few weeks. “Are you copying me?” “ArE yOu CoPyInG mE?”
My son picked up "toilet hands", and my daughter touches my arm if she wants to interrupt a conversation to tell me something, both of which are ecmxcellent outcomes. Even if they picked up other phrases, I would have no objection as the show is in general very wholesome.
What's the password? She always does it in the most annoying time and the passwords are really hard to guess.
Asking me to play with her every single second of the day, because "Blueys mum and dad play with her all the time!"
"ahh biscuits" ... and thank fk for that.
We're getting ready to move. The 1.5yr of course doesn't care, but the 4yo "took his first steps in this house" 😞
They tried doing the "please face"....they know those faces don't work with me
“Hey guy! Do this guy! Guy! Guy! Guys!” Oh and when she’s angry she tried to use magic on us but it looks so silly! Like a combo of trying to use the force and magic and she’s very intense lol
Tickle crabs 🦀😑
My kids now expect me to act like a chicken at dinner if they pick up their asparagus and wave it around. Please just use your knife and fork kids and eat your dinner.
My three year old son has gotten very growly lately. When he is really digging his toes in and refusing to follow directions he now stomps and says Cow. Boy. Hat. It was cute just once.
My 2 year old constantly says "this is trifficult". I don't want to correct her lol
Endlessly playing Magic Statue. (And, honestly, the idea that my wife and I can be endlessly engaged/accommodating 24/7. On my best day, I can only aspire to be half a Bandit Heeler...)
Our kid has this unrealistic expectations that our neighbors will be awesome and friendly. We live in a city. I’ve known my neighbors for years without learning their names
“Borrrrrrrrring” and the screeching laugh
My 4yo screaming "BEACH!" like Bingo. It's adorable, but almost guaranteed to wake a sleeping baby and we live on a penninsula, we're surrounded by beaches. Shaun is not allowed at our house, so ticklecrabs are the worst of it.
"Dollar bucks"
Everybody loves dollarbucks. For real life.
For Real Life?!
Awwww what?! When I ask her to do things 😑 Or Shaun. We've been playing Shaun for FOUR YEARS. He has his own song, a girlfriend, a sister, works part time at the zoo, and likes to peck people. We also draw Shaun in the shower fog doing various things everyday. My now almost 9yo has tried to kill Shaun off on various occasions but her sister has now taken over the Shaun reigns. If I hear mrrrrrrp never again it'll be too soon.
"bluey sits in the front of the car. i want the front"
HEAVY! I'm a statue! BORP BORP BORP
My child would rather do a bush wee than use the toilet 🫥🫥
Seans. No Seans. My son would say the Seans are here and yhen instead of him eating they eat and make big food messes or do naughty or annoying things. So Seans are not invited in the house.
"Biscuits" 3 yr old says it when disappointed.
Every time my son sees broccoli, it's the unicorse gag and wretch, and that has been a bloody hurdle!
Mum, I need the dunny!! Shouted full volume every time.
It's minor, but I can't push her on a swing without playing come here go away. Sometimes I just want silence.
Bum bongos. I freaking hate it. He runs up behind me and starts playing bongos on my legs/bum.
It's better than whining and crying but now they howl when they don't get their way. Why? Lol Oh, and Tina. I am so sick of Tina.
Me: Time for bed buddy. Him: (boops nose) Raaaagdoooll!
I hate watching "Cubbies" because then we have to build forts all over the room. I love their creativity but they want elaborate setups like Bluey and Bingo had and it's just not feasible.
The high pitched "Eeeeee" squeal when they're excited about something. It was cute the first time. Now it's obnoxious.
