30 Toddlers That Said Hilariously Surprising Things, As Shared By Their Parents Online
Children, by and large, have no filter, which can be as mortifying as it is funny. New parents quickly learn that just because your toddler has discovered the ability to speak does not mean that he or she is suddenly going to be saying things that necessarily make sense, for better or worse.
We’ve gathered some adorable, hilarious and perhaps heartwarming things toddlers and kids have told adults. So get comfortable as you scroll through, prepare to smile, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your own thoughts and experiences in the comments section below.

A teacher at the school I worked at stood in the hall taking to me, I turned for a sec and when I turned back her twin sister was standing there too. That's how I found she had a twin. A real "The Shining" moment.

Children really do not have a filter because, well, why would they? They are often learning and seeing new things every single day. In general, much of the “shame” or “shock” parents feel is just second-hand embarrassment. Realistically, if you met a person who was truly offended that a four year old said something blunt, you should probably just disregard their opinion.
After all, children simply do not know any better and just learning to state their opinion or just ask pretty direct questions is all part of growing up. These also provide the learning moments that help them grow into functioning adults in the long run.

Importantly, as these examples show, it’s not even all “bad!” Kids don’t have the strange shame of being open about their emotions so they are just as capable of saying cute and wholesome things. After all, most of us did grow up at least liking our parents, setting aside things like chores and bedtimes.
Actually communicating their feelings is a pretty important part of growing up. Think about it, how many grown ups have we all met who have the “emotional range of a toddler,” although this list would show that not all toddlers are the same, some are perfectly capable of being cute and loving, in their own way.
So it’s perfectly fine to put up with some strange questions or blunt statements, because it’s really the best time for it. There is no other time in their lives where they can as freely just say whatever is on their mind without some potential consequences. Plus, as a parent, it’s probably pretty nice to actually hear your kid say something cute unprompted.

I feel like this is a parenting win. This mom has probably said that phrase to her child, and now her child is using it back on her. They do listen!

My 3 yo remembers things that we told him casually and imagines the story behind. Maybe the girl doesn't remember, she just heard it's a warm place and invented her story.

My (3 yo now) seemed to remember the songs and really prefered the ones I sang when I was pregnant. I heard the memory would do a kind of reset between 5-7 years.

Learn it now. You can proceed to her teenage years slowly and getting used to her "privacy" will take you years.

I convinced my toddler that if a thing he wanted to eat has broken and he is sad about it, that the pieces will magically fuse back together in his tummy if he eats them all

I was at the grocery store with my daughter, about 4 yrs old at the time. A young man walked toward us and she said pretty loudly “Now THAT’S a good looking guy!” I wanted to disappear.

They're clever for sure, say something, see how you react. "You're my best friend...." 😍 (Jackpot)

Toddlers mostly repeat words and phrases they have cought from somewhere. Either from their parents or from kids show the children did consume.

Yes, and also all the adults and older kids they hear talking around them. Sometimes parents are shocked that a kid says or knows something, and they say "But I've never said that phrase, they must have come up with it themselves!" or "I've never talked about that topic around my kid! They must be psychic or have memories of past lives". Yeah, YOU may never have said that or talked about it, but are you sure that the teachers never did? Or the parents of a friend where they have play dates? Or the nanny, or neighbour? Or older kids at school? Kids don't grow up in a bubble. And they repeat the stuff they've heard. That's not a sad thing, that's a wonderful thing, that's how beautifully a kid's development works, that's how they learn and that's an amazing thing. Why people think that that is joy-killing information, is beyond me, I think it's amazing.
