My possibly autistic 4 year old niece

"I hate you. I'm gonna peel your skin off when you sleep.... like an orange"

Edit: Thank you for all the up votes so far, may i just be clear and mention that at the time she couldn't and still can't peel oranges nicely?

Theres a lot of digging her nails into it, and pulling of the tiniest bits each time, if she was to somehow manage in peeling my skin off, I dunno what would be worse, the peeling it'self or the way she does it..

Night before a work trip/flight, my 4 yr old daughter sitting in the back seat of our car calmly says, daddy if you get on a plane, it will crash. The way she said it was incredibly casual, distant, and factual sounding. Raised hairs on both mine and wife's neck. Now... the truly creepy part was this was a last minute trip I booked the day before. We didn't tell her I was flying anywhere / had planned to tell her later that night.


Got on the plane anyway. Here I am... dead.


Just kidding. But for real, she's 14 now and this still creeps me out. I asked her recently if she remembers saying it, she says no.
