An American mother was stunned when she finally figured out where her baby’s tickling came from in Australia.
Candice, a mother from southern Louisiana, said her son looked very Australian when he said ‘no’ and ‘no’ and he couldn’t understand why.
Then she turned on the TV, played her son’s favorite show, and said, “It finally clicked.”

A mother explains how Bluey affects her baby’s accent
The hit TV show follows an Australian family of Blue Heelers living in the suburbs.
“Looking at Bluey too much gives you an Australian accent,” she laughed with a caption saying “no” at her child’s request.
The video of the young man and his newly developed accent went viral on TikTok and had over 220,000 views within 48 hours.
And people couldn’t believe their ears.
“You’re telling me this isn’t an Australian man?” one person asked.
“However, we’re from southern Louisiana, and that’s not our accent,” she replied.
He even fooled the Australians.
“I try to hear him say differently… and I realize that sounds normal because I’m Australian,” one woman said.
But Candice isn’t the only mother with babies who have developed Australian accents and vocabulary after joining the show.
“My daughter recently used the word dunny for a bath and called out to her cheeky brother,” one mother said with a laugh.
This grounded some Australians who didn’t realize that the word “brutal” was not a word used in the United States.
“I never heard the term cheeky before I looked at Bluey,” Candice said.
“It’s not a common word here, I’m from Minnesota,” the second mother said.
“I feel like I’ve been called big and cheeky many times,” said another.
Another mother said that her son came to look for “service distributors”, “service distributors”.
The way international audiences change their sentences has also changed, according to one mother.
“My daughter says ‘it will last forever,’ and I really love it,” he told the American version, before explaining that “it will last forever.”
“My daughter always says that – and I never knew where it came from – now I do,” said another.
Bluey follows the story of a Blue Heeler puppy and his sister, Bingo, whose adventures often unfold in “funny” ways.
The Blue Heeler family lives in the suburbs and each carton takes just seven minutes.
