Bluey accent change: American mum at a loss after Bluey-obsessed son calls the trash

An American mum has complained that her baby girl developed an Australian accent and uses ‘foreign’ words after becoming obsessed with Bluey.

The mom, who passes by Kait on ICT Tacexplained that her daughter is now calling the trash after watching the popular show.

“We are clearly a Bluey family,” she wrote alongside the video.

Kait said her toddler now wants to help with household chores, just like the puppies on the show.

“Every Wednesday I have to get the little human up really early so she can help take out the trash with me,” Kait said.

She even has to explain to the youngster why she can’t take out the trash “the day before” like her favorite characters do.

“Black bears are going to end up in the trash this time of year,” she explained.

And while the busy mum “complained” about the accent, she also reveals that she “lives for it” and thinks it’s super cute.

“But I feel like my life has been spent re-enacting every episode of Bluey,” she said.

And she is not alone.

“My daughter says ‘dad plays golf with his homies,'” one woman laughed.

‘My daughter doesn’t call our car trunk, never the trunk. That’s the ‘boot’, we live in Oregon,” another added.

“My 4 year old called me ‘cheeky mum’ the other day,” said another.

Australians have revealed they are delighted that a TV show that accurately portrays the country’s culture has become so popular.

“If there was one way to introduce your child to real Australian culture…it’s Bluey,” said one woman.

It’s not the first time comments about the cartoon have gone viral, with an American mum wondering why her son sounds different before clicking that he has an Aussie twang.

Candice, a mom from the South Louisianasaid her son sounded particularly Australian when he said ‘no’ and ‘no way’ and she couldn’t understand why.

Then she turned on the TV, put on her son’s favorite program and said it “finally clicked”.

“When you look too Bluey you get an Aussie accent,” she laughed in a caption of her baby boy saying “no” to the request.

The video of the youngster and his newly developed accent has gone viral on TikTok, racking up over 220,000 views in 48 hours.

And people couldn’t believe their ears.

“Are you telling me that’s not an Australian child?” one person asked.

“Far from it, we’re from South Louisiana and that’s not our accent,” she replied.

And it even fooled the Australians.

“I try to listen to it saying it differently…then I realize it sounds normal because I’m Australian,” one woman said.

But Candice isn’t the only mum whose children are developing Australian accents and vocabularies after investing in the show.

“My daughter used the word dunny for toilet the other day and calls her cheeky brother,” one mum laughed.

This floored some Australians who hadn’t realized that “cheeky” was not a word used in the United States.

“I never heard the term cheeky before watching Bluey,” Candice said.

“It’s not a common word here, I’m from Minnesota,” the second mom said.

“I feel it, I’ve been called mate and cheeky too many times,” said another.

Another mum said her son started calling ‘petrol stations’, ‘petrol stations’.

Even the way international viewers turn their sentences has been changed, according to a mother.

“My daughter says ‘it’s going to take a while’ and honestly, I love it,” she said before clarifying that the US version is “it’s going to take forever”.

“My daughter says that all the time – and I never knew where it came from – now I do,” said another.

Bluey follows the story of a Blue Heeler pup and his sister Bingo who embark on adventures that often turn out “hilariously”.

The Blue Heeler family lives in the suburbs and each cartoon is only seven minutes long.
