Toy Hook Misidentification

I was sitting with my little brother when he was about four-ish. He was starting to really like to identify objects for some reason, so he was showing me his toys. He grabbed his toy Mator truck and then pointed to the wheels, saying, “These are wheels.” I said, “Good job, yes they are.” Then he pointed to the bumper and said, “This is a bumper.” Again, I congratulated him. Then, he grabbed the toy’s wire with the hook at the end and said, “And this is a hooker.” I died laughing.

Experiment

The humor comes from the little brother misinterpreting 'hooker' as the name for an object, based on the hook part of the toy. It's funny because it's a word used to refer to a person, a sex worker, in reality.
