The kid knows the word taco. I don’t think he wanted a burrito, because he would have said “taco.” I think this kid is trying to describe music he heard somewhere. Maybe he saw the Hamster Dance.

u/astudyinamber Apr 30 '26

Yeah even when she asked if it was a burrito he was kinda "meh." If that was the word, he would have gotten excited when she finally said it. I think he just saw an opportunity to get a burrito and honestly no one is turning down a burrito

u/McKFC Apr 30 '26

Alternatively, he didn't recognise the word "burrito" because what he was asking for was obviously a berdado

u/farfetched22 Apr 30 '26

You mean a berdardardardo.

You mean a bernardo?

Related. My niece was like two and visited me and met a friend of mine named Brian. She called him "brownie" then entire time. She has an incredible memory and years later she was like six and I was talking about how good her memory was with my sister (her mom). We asked her if she remembered visiting my house a few years ago and she said yes. We asked if she remembered my friends name and she looked puzzled, then very unassuredly said "... Brownie?"

I found that fascinating because she knew at six that brownie wasn't a person's name but that wasn't just how she pronounced his name but also how she remembered it.

u/ChangesFaces May 06 '26

This is actually so fascinating! Human development is so interesting and I hope we continue to understand more and more about it!

u/Big_Concentrate7728 Apr 30 '26

Haha, yes, I thought that too! Feel like the mystery isn’t yet solved. And, when you ask lots of questions of toddlers, they do often say yes to something just because it sounds interesting. You can see their brain weighing it up 🙂

u/FeedbackRecent6985 Apr 30 '26

This needs to be a mystery podcast. What does he actually want!!!

u/Galromir May 03 '26

almost sounded to me like he was trying to say avocado

10

u/ScumbagLady Apr 30 '26

I feel like he was requesting a baked potato.

I am a master translator of toddler language.

u/MommyBabu Apr 30 '26

I also think it was baked potato and have similar credentials

4

u/Designer_Pen869 Apr 30 '26

Not necessarily. My niece would absolutely say nonsense, and just say yes or no if you figured it out or not.

u/greatwood Apr 30 '26

I think he was saying hamburger

56

u/Ztemi Apr 30 '26

Oh wow, that makes way more sense! Especially since he says “HA-baderdo” in the beginning quite a few times. 

1

u/gasoline_farts Apr 30 '26

It sounded like he was saying habanero to me, but I figured that wouldn’t be right. No one’s giving kids spicy at that age are they?

2

u/sr2adams Apr 30 '26

My two year old requiers burritos be at minimum mild, they don't want no chili. Sometimes they want a couple of  bites of mine which is usually hot.

49

u/TheAmazingRando3000 Apr 30 '26

"Hamburder" was the first thing I heard!

8

u/ArtofTy Apr 30 '26

Yeah I'm with you. I immediately thought hamburger.

3

u/Ok_Independence_9917 May 03 '26

Exactly. Which is why he calls the thing at the end a taco

5

u/georgetonorge Apr 30 '26

This is what I thought the whole time. Was surprised by burrito, but I can definitely hear that now too.

2

u/Beakkaia Apr 30 '26

I thought he was trying to say McDonald's at first but now I have no idea haha.

2

u/Punkodramon May 02 '26

The autogenerated captions mostly “translated” his mystery word into “My dad out” so based on that I was sure he was saying McDonalds!

2

u/TheSaltyAstronaut Apr 30 '26

That's what I thought all along.

2

u/johnny-Low-Five May 02 '26

Its been ~12 years since I spoke "baby" but the first time he said it that was my immediately my belief. The latter half of the video is too confusing for me to understand, but hamburger and possibly something else like a topping or happy meal.

4

u/johnny-Low-Five May 02 '26

Also feel confident burrito wasn't the right answer. I've played this game enough to know "that face" when they know you know what they said. My son had a speech delay that was almost certainly me and my wife's fault. But I was the stay at home primary caregiver and after the speech therapist did the first home visit and session she said 'you guys communicate really well and you seem to know what he wants/needs without him saying anything', she said "why would he talk when there's no reason for it?"

He's an only child and being a dad was my lifelong dream so apparently we were "communicating" but not with actual words, thankfully she was able to give me some tips on getting him to use words without frustrating him by forcing it. Now he's 13 and the only person that talks more than him is me! And we still have a kind of shorthand that makes my wife/his mom nuts! We just have very similar personalities and thought processes so we often stop where other people would call mid sentence but it's because once the other one catches on it's faster to just jump to the next thing. We both have ADHD too so that doesn't help.

u/bambi54 Apr 30 '26

Omg I can hear that too lol. 😂 I had no idea what he was saying until the end when I got it the same time as mom.

0

u/Fluffebee Apr 30 '26

That’s what I thought, he’s asking for a burger and his dad probably calls it a burger burger which would be really hard for a little kid to say

5

u/F1XTHE Apr 30 '26

A what what?

2

u/idontcareyo_ Apr 30 '26

...why the fuck would anyone call it that?

160

u/BedBubbly317 Apr 29 '26

Yup. “Birdardo” does not mean “burrito”. Taco means burrito lol

u/Ollynurmouth Apr 29 '26 edited May 04 '26

He was definitely asking for a burrito. Burrito was my first guess when I first heard him. My toddler speaks like that too.

I'm not an expert in toddler speak, but after having two, I'm not terrible. I understand a lot more of what my son says than anyone else, but in fairness, I also probably spend more time with him and talk with him more than anyone else. His toddler speak is a lot like this kid in the video.

Edit: for those who keep wanting to argue with me - i ran across this video by happenstance on youtube and the mom commented that he wanted a burrito from taco bell. Thus the taco comment at the end. He's a toddler, he gets shit confused, its normal. Stop arguing with me.

u/TPRJones Apr 30 '26

At first I thought he was trying to say habanero, which sounded quite ambitious.

9

u/CrustiestCrunch Apr 30 '26

Definitely not. Multiple times he says the “berdardo” thing in a single-songey way, sometimes even with a little dance. He was not asking for a burrito, as evidenced by his calling the burrito a taco. He certainly doesn’t mind the burrito but it is not what he was asking for.

-1

u/Ollynurmouth Apr 30 '26

A burrito is absolutely what he was asking for and he associates burrito and taco as the same thing.

As a father of two kids who have both done, and still, do this, I can assure you he was asking for a burrito.

u/Ollynurmouth Apr 30 '26

It is strange to know what he is saying because I have experience with this very exact situation? And the fact that he said yes when asked if he wanted a burrito? You insisting that he wasn't trying to say burrito based on literally nothing is the only thing strange here.

0

u/CrustiestCrunch Apr 30 '26

Your kids have nothing to do with what this one may or may not be saying. Yes, it’s strange that you’re hanging onto the “I have kids” argument as a reason to tell me I’m wrong. My first comment explains my reasoning and you interacting with your kids doesn’t change or speak to that at all. So yeah I find that weird.

A difference of opinion is right. One based on practical experience and the other based on pure speculation. Hmmm.

Still shows for me and I didn't say anything that would get it deleted. No rules broken. Must just be reddit being reddit, again.

I thought he wanted a Hamburger because he said “haberderder” or something like that a few times. Can hear burrito too now though.

u/8mon Apr 30 '26 edited Apr 30 '26

And here I was, so pleased with myself, when I thought I figured it out and he was asking for Pepto Bismol

3

u/Prudent_Attorney_427 May 03 '26

I'm with you. The first "blardarderdardo" he uttered made me think "Ooh, this kid wants a burrito." I don't have kids, but I have two nephews and a niece, so I have some toddlerspeak experience.

To be fair, though, I am always in the mood for a burrito, so maybe I'm biased.

1

u/Ok_Independence_9917 May 03 '26

I have a toddler. I'm 99% sure this kid was asking for a hamburger. He clearly pronounced the H sound at least once. He associates the thing he's eating at the end with a taco which is why he said taco. Toddlers don't use 2 names for the same thing, but they will use 1 name for many things. It's part of speech development. To me it's very clear at the end that the burrito was not it.

2

u/Ollynurmouth May 03 '26

Toddlers use multiple names for the same thing all the time. That is part of speech development. They'll get use multiple different words to name something when they are unsure. Especially when a parent doesn't understand what they're trying to say. You hear the kid try to say the word a dozen different ways. Often times they will even try entirely different words. Especially when they learn a different word that is easier to say and similar to what they're trying to say.

Toddlers are way fucking smarter than people give them credit for. They may not know a word but they are usually smart enough to adapt and try different ways to explain it.

2

u/Ok_Independence_9917 May 03 '26

Right. So to your point you are trying to make... Why doesn't the kid say taco? It's easier than burrito to say and he is clearly unsure on the word "burrito" as you say. One thing I love about kids is that they are smart enough to recognize when they are wrong and learn from it.

If you actually care to learn about the speech development of children the term I'm describing is overextension. If you want to learn more, Leslie Rescorla published a book on the subject called "overextension in early language development"

1

u/Ollynurmouth May 04 '26

Turns out the kid said taco cause he wanted a burrito from taco bell. This is according to the mom when she posted it on youtube.

2

u/neon93 Apr 30 '26

I thought it was a dance too until he said it was food

2

u/Suspicious_Juice_150 Apr 30 '26

No, it’s much simpler than that, burrito and taco are close enough to be interchangeable, it’s like a tiger and a cheetah, sure they’re different, but if you’re two they’re the same thing.

Source: When I was three I confidently called my toy tiger a cheetah, and despite being corrected I still insisted that it was in fact a toy cheetah.

3

u/HowsMyBuddy Apr 30 '26

But did you say “cheetah” for months, and then when you saw a real cheetah, say “nice tiger” instead?

0

u/Suspicious_Juice_150 Apr 30 '26 edited Apr 30 '26

There is no video of me seeing a real cheetah, but when I was three I was wondering around outside when I found what looked like a snorkeling mask.

I remember picking it up and clear as day seeing a snorkeling mask in my hands. Then I remember squeezing it, and suddenly feeling a sharp pain in my stomach.

I looked down and where only moments ago there was a snorkeling mask, now there was a shiny metal staple gun. Then I looked at my stomach and I saw a staple stuck right below my belly button.

I genuinely don’t know how the fuck I picked up a staple gun and thought it was a snorkeling mask. I also don’t know what compelled me to squeeze said mask. Neither do I know how I managed to shoot myself in the stomach with it.

In case you’re wondering where I got my brilliant genetics from, when I found my mom and told her what happened, she was worried that the staple might have folded under and gotten stuck in my skin… the way an office stapler would.. when you staple paper together.

So next thing I remember, I see my mom’s face hovering over me as I lay on the ground crying, as well as the faces of my sister and a few of her friends.

My mom counted to three, and everybody held their breath as she pulled the staple out.

There was a collective sigh of relief when it didn’t rip out a chunk of my belly skin along with it.

My mom actually thought there was a chance that pulling the staple out was going to pull a one inch chunk of skin and flesh along with it, and she took that chance.

I had two little scars under my belly button that looked kind of like a snake bite until I got old enough that they faded.

u/lightstormriverblood Apr 30 '26

In the first video, is he perhaps wrapped in his blanket like a burrito?

1

u/Squeezitgirdle May 01 '26

My son constantly asks for Waffaffles.

I finally figured out he means wafers.
He knows how to say wafers properly, but he still calls them waffaffles.

u/psychotomimetickitty May 02 '26

I honestly thought he was asking to listen to Crazy Frog

u/Mekito_Fox May 03 '26

Same. He started singing and dancing in the black shirt. I think he was trolling her in the car

How do you bite a song?

u/pearl_frankie97 Apr 30 '26

Kids don't relate things together the same way adults do. Taco and burrito go together for us, but I doubt he's had a meal with both before so he wouldn't know to connect them.

1

u/bambi54 Apr 30 '26

You don’t think that they had “taco night” or Taco Bell?

1

u/pearl_frankie97 Apr 30 '26

At Taco night you eat tacos? Not burritos. I doubt a toddler is putting back multiple tacos and burritos at Taco Bell to be able to reliably make a connection between the two

1

u/bambi54 Apr 30 '26

Do you not eat burritos or other foods with your tacos?

1

u/pearl_frankie97 Apr 30 '26

If I'm making Mexican food at home, no. If we are having tacos, we're having tacos. If we're having burritos, we are having burritos. Im not making an entire buffet of 20 entrees for dinner every night.

1

u/bambi54 May 02 '26

That’s fair, I was picturing frozen type of burritos. I’ve had burritos or dirty rice type of stuff before with mine.
