An American mum has complained her infant daughter has developed an Australian accent and uses ‘foreign’ words after becoming obsessed with Bluey
Kait said her toddler is now keen to help with household chores just like the pups on the show.
‘Every Wednesday I have to get the tiny human up extra early so she can help take out the bins with me,’ Kait said.
She even has to explain to the youngster why she can’t put bins out ‘the night before’ like her favourite characters do.
‘Black bears will get into the trash at this time of year,’ she explained.
And while the busy mum ‘complained’ about the accent she also reveals she ‘lives for it ‘ and thinks it is super cute.
‘But I do feel like my life is spent reenacting all of the episodes of Bluey,’ she said.
And she isn’t alone.
‘My daughter says that ‘Daddy is golfing with his mates’,’ one woman laughed.
‘My daughter doesn’t call our car trunk, the trunk ever. It’s the ‘boot’, we live in Oregon,’ added another.
The mum said her life revolves around the cartoon – and she finds her toddler’s unique expressions adorable
‘My 4yo called me ‘cheeky mum’ the other day,’ said another.
Australians revealed they are pleased a television show which accurately depict the country’s culture has become so popular.
‘If there was ever a way to introduce your child to true Australian culture… it’s Bluey,’ one woman said.
This is not the first time comments on the cartoon have gone viral, one US mum was wondering why her son sounded differently before clicking he had an Aussie twang.
Candice, a mum from South Louisiana, said her son has been sounding especially Australian when saying ‘no’ and ‘no way’ and she couldn’t understand why.
Then she turned on the television, put on her son’s favourite program and said it ‘finally clicked’.

‘When you watch too much Bluey you get an Australian accent,’ she laughed in a caption of her little boy saying ‘no’ on demand.
The video of the youngster and his newly developed accent went viral on TikTok clocking up more than 220,000 views in 48 hours.
And people couldn’t believe their ears.
‘You are telling me that is not an Australian child?’ one person asked.
‘Far from it, we are from South Louisiana and this is not our accent,’ she replied.
And it even had Australians fooled.
‘Me trying to listen for him saying it different… then realising it sounds normal cause I’m Australian,’ one woman said.
But Candice isn’t the only mum with kids developing Australian accents and vocabularies after becoming invested in the show.
‘My daughter used the word dunny for toilet the other day and calls her brother cheeky,’ one mum laughed.
This floored some Australians who didn’t realise ‘cheeky’ isn’t a word used in the US.
‘I have never heard the term cheeky before watching Bluey,’ Candice said.
‘It is not a common word here, I am from Minnesota,’ said the second mum.
‘I feel this, I have been called mate and cheeky too many times,’ said another.
Another mum said her son has started calling ‘gas stations’, ‘petrol stations’.
Even the way international viewers turn their phrases has been changed, according to one mum.
‘My daughter says ‘it is going to take ages’ and I honestly love it,’ she said before clarifying the American version is ‘it is going to take forever’.
‘My daughter says this all the time – and I never knew where it came from – now I do,’ said another.
Bluey follows the story of a Blue Heeler puppy and her sister Bingo who go on adventures which often unfold in ‘hilarious’ ways.
The Blue Heeler family live in the suburbs and each cartoon is just seven minutes long.
