Children may be ruthless sometimes and will tell you the truth without sugarcoating it. That is why parents try and teach their little ones that it's not very nice to say some things even if they are true. But when parents forbid their kids from saying certain words, then children turn on their incredibly creative minds and gift the adults with some gems.

Twitter user @AlixEHarrow shared that she doesn't let her 4-year-old say the word 'gross' at the dinner table and that resulted in the child inventing new phrases to say the same thing.

Apparently, forbidding words is a common thing between parents and children who then have to find ways to express themselves using different words. Parents shared the genius phrases their kids have come up with and it's a thread that will give you a good laugh.
