Sarit and Assaf Katz, a married couple from Israel, are well aware that kids can drop the funniest wisdom bombs. They have three girls (Scarlet, 13, Roni, 11, and Maya, 7), so as their children were growing up, Sarit and Assaf were constantly hearing their insightful comments. In fact, the couple was so fascinated with them, they decided to tell the whole world about it.
Hence, they created an online project called 'Kids r the best screenwriters' to share their kids' priceless quotes on social media. Their following grew with every upload and eventually their fans started sending Sarit and Assaf unforgettable phrases from their own kids. Some of them were so good, they just had to be featured, elevating 'Kids r the best screenwriters' from a family blog to a worldwide archive.

"It all started when our eldest girl was about 2 years old," the couple told Bored Panda. "We noticed that Scarlet was very verbal, so Assaf started documenting her first cute sentences in a notebook. Then Roni joined our family and we continued writing down their funny, smart, and naive quotes for our family memory."
Every now and then, Assaf would share their daughters' insights on his personal Facebook profile as well. Relatives and friends of the family loved these posts, so the couple decided to open a Facebook page in order to "show off" all the cool things their girls were saying. However, all of this was in Hebrew. "We didn't think that there were so many parents who also wanted to share their kids' sayings."
This was in early 2013. Now Sarit and Assaf get so many submissions, they post two quotes every day. "We are still working on this project because we discovered that it spreads a lot of joy, making people smile, laugh, think, and sometimes even cry," they said. "Today, our Israeli page has 350K followers on Facebook and Instagram."
"Being deep in the COVID-19 crisis, our planet has become even smaller. Since we've all been in this tough situation together, we decided to spread all of the nice things that come from our project with the rest of the world and created its English version," Sarit and Assaf explained. "The first few quotes were translated from our local page but just hours after the launch, we started receiving kids' quotes from parents all over the world."
My mom told us the same when my sister and I were 5 and 7 and since then whenever she does not respond to mom/maa we start calling her aunty (i know its weird) but she responds, LoL
As the name of the project implies, Sarit and Assaf truly believe that kids are the best screenwriters. "The most authentic ideas, dialogs and insights can only be delivered by kids –- their special, naive point of view, clean from any assumptions," the couple added. "We want to inspire parents all over the world to listen more carefully to their kids and document their thoughts because one day, the kids would appreciate it."
Me: “When I was your age, we didn’t have smart phones on long car rides. We talked to each other or played games.” Daughter: “It’s not my fault your car trips sucked, is it?”
"Mummy, mummy, come quick! A snake!" This is a week or two after I have explained to Son that if he ever sees a snake, there is no need to be afraid but he should keep at a safe distance and call a grownup. It was a caterpillar.
Because it keeps shrinking in the dryer. Yep. That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.
When my daughter was two, whenever the smoke alarm went off, she would shout, “Supper is ready!” (I have improved so much as a cook since then! 😂)
I speak a bit of Chinese so I understand that. "she me?" means "what?"
My sister was in 2nd grade when the teacher asked her how old our granny was and my sister responded "I don't know, 10 years older than God?"
Asking a little child such a question will almost always lead to a funny answer. Fifteen years later some of the answers are not better but they are not funny anymore.
"The earth rotates once every 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.09053 seconds, called the sidereal period, and its circumference is roughly 40,075 kilometers. Thus, the surface of the earth at the equator moves at a speed of 460 meters per second--or roughly 1,000 miles per hour. As schoolchildren, we learn that the earth is moving about our sun in a very nearly circular orbit. It covers this route at a speed of nearly 30 kilometers per second, or 67,000 miles per hour. In addition, our solar system--Earth and all--whirls around the center of our galaxy at some 220 kilometers per second, or 490,000 miles per hour. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-fast-is-the-earth-mov
What a beautiful saving and Yoav doesn't even know how dangerous mom's question was.
Thinking it through a bit too much, Ethan... nearly at your own detriment.
Yeah, mom, why be so limiting!? Chaguy obviously likes the attention of all his classmates- he's POP-U-LAR :D
Yes, they do, and they eat all the forbidden food too: chocolate and cookies and icecream.
Batman hungry just means the evening meal. Dinner dinner dinner dinner dinner dinner dinner dinner batman
That's the exact same thing I always thought about playing the saxophone. I still can't, so there's that
That's actually a really good question. Why do people only report what is bad, instead of reporting on all of the good stuff. I know that people need money, but imagine how much better the world would be if people highlight some of the good stuff.
That's right Itamar... you never know when you might require the services of a clown! Plus clowns are creepy in their disguises so no one is likely to question them.
Well, I think it's too late with that child... potty mouthed and threatening.
And mom suddenly has insomnia, hyper-focusing on her own mortality...
Awww... that is so sweet. Children's sincerity can be heart-melting...
I used to babysit my nephew when he was little (about 4). He would put his ear right up to my ear. I asked if he wanted to snuggle, he said no, I want to hear your thoughts.

My son E.when he was three " Mum give me my cereals!" Me: That's not the way to talk to your mum, what's the magic word and I'll give you your cereals? E " Abracadabra!
Children can be so cute, sometimes we forget to really listen & learn from them!
When I was little my mom was driving and had a coke in the cup holder. I said "Don't drink and drive, mom". I didn't understand what alcohol was, so I thought it had something to do with getting distracted from the act of holding a cup.
