What are some of your funny, family allusions?? How did they come about?

When our S was a toddler, he woke from his nap and declared he wanted “socks.” I was very puzzled and handed him some socks and he stared at me baffled and said emphatically , “No, not this, you know, SOCKS!” I was very puzzled until he led me to the kitchen and I figured out we wanted “snacks!” Luckily for him we never made that a family byword.
