You never know when a mini-you will spit a bite-sized lesson on life instead of drool or something even nastier. Chances are, it'll catch you completely off guard, too. For example, while driving them to the daycare to or making pancakes for breakfast. Luckily for us, parents whose kids are sharing their insights are tweeting these statements, so everyone can get to know the real scope of their innocent wisdom. It's not the first time when their philosophical gems get viral. Earlier, Bored Panda has shown how cheeky 6-year-olds can be, lecturing their parents on every possible situation. This time, however, we've decided to focus on someone more mature -- 7-year-olds. Below you'll find a list that captures the smart world of a 7-year-old mind. Apparently, one year age difference might bring sassiness to a whole new level.

7-year-olds are naturally curious. Imagine the world through their eyes—it’s all one huge sandbox where everything needs to go through trial and error until it makes sense. Touch a hot stove—ouch, lick a freezing pole and you’ll never do that again. Unsurprisingly, children development experts believe that kids’ thirst for the world is virtually unstoppable. Amy Morin, a psychotherapist and lecturer at Northeastern University in Boston, calls 7-year-olds “explorers, scientists, and analysts” who “often ask questions about everything from why the sky is blue to where babies come from.” Next time your kid drops a time ticking wisdom bomb, you had better have a good back-up plan ready.

Imagine this simple fact—7-year-olds' vocabulary and reading skills are, so to speak, on fire. Kids of this age learn thousands of sight words, giving them solid conversational ammunition. Even when their first coherent expressions might mean the world to them but not that much to us, we have to celebrate their endless creativity. When you really think about these philosophical gems, you might start wondering—who said that older means smarter?

When my youngest was 4-5, I woke her up one morning and she said,” I was just talking to Jesus. He was in my window.” M’kay... we weren’t a religious household, but certainly focused on morals, kindness, manners. “He has a cute butt!” I think she was ginning for a reaction. I didn’t give her one. It was funny, though.

I dunno. There are stories of zoo animals tending to children who fall into the exhibit. I think befriending it probably has as much chance of success as a 7yo attempting to fight the 400lb grizzly.

Damn, why didn’t I think of that? Although I don’t think that would have gone down too well since my hubby and I don’t wear pyjamas lol.

Yeah but that applies to husbands too. Swear to god, I once got a phone call at my work from my husband because he couldn't find something in the fridge.

moments like this is also why I had kids... their imagination and thought process's are hilarious! My 10yo is OBSESSED with LA, its all she ever talks about.. she wants to go on a very lavish very extensive vacation through Los Angeles (were from Canada).. . Our conversation in the car the other day: 10YO: Mom you HAVE to see the malls in LA, they have so many cool stores.. they have Louis Vuitton, GUCCI … THEY EVEN HAVE BEST BUY!! I had no idea best buy was up there with Louis and Gucci! god love her.

Should a 7yold have candy in their bedroom unsupervised? Asking for a friend.

No don’t do that coz then they will scream “Mum, mum, muuuum, mummy your not listening” and then they will start from the beginning.

Most 7yr olds are really funny, not saying those certain ones in the post are true, for sure. My son would full on mimick the T Rex from the first Jurassic Park, he had every body and head motion on point and would roar. It was fantastic. We had purchased him the almost 2ft tall T Rex remote control Dino from the movie, which he had studied as well. It had the impact tremor sounds and all the sounds he made in the movie. It was the most precious thing ever to watch.

When my youngest was about 7 years old, it was time for his bath. He got out, still dirty. I send him back and said please use the soap this time. He said soap AND water? ....

My grandson was mustache crazy at that age, as both his grandpas had them. He would see them in cheap kits, quarter machines, and have us make them for him. I found a large board, half the size of him, with about 30 nicely made reusable mustaches on it and got it for part of his bday gift. He was precious in them all and loved those crazy things forever. He would make up different characters for his different stache. It was great to see his imagination go wild.

My husband was rushing and looking in the fridge for something, knocked a container of Chinese food onto the floor where it all spilled out. Our beagle ran over and started devouring it, our 6 year old said "I wouldn't bother eating that Milo, you'll just be hungry in an hour anyway". We all looked at each other and burst out laughing. He was a naturally funny kid.

I have to say, I have an 8 year old and most of these aren't far off you know. The things he can come out with are surprisingly wise sometimes, and yet he still is 8: fart jokes laser noises and immaturity abounds. Sprinkled with random intuitive statements and tantrums

People saying these are fake must not have kids, or have really boring ones? I'm not saying someone couldn't make this up but honestly my kids were constantly saying the craziest and even most profound c**p. Especially between ages maybe 4 or 5 up to about 11 or 12. My youngest just had her 11th bday last week and I literally got teary eyed wondering when she will lose that funny witty edge. Don't get me wrong, I love my teens but no one can make you think quite like a tween.

I guess 7 years old is the prime age to make up a story about your kid saying some made up s**t.

Meanwhile, in real life, seven-year-old kids are actually saying, "BUT IF YOU DON"T LET ME PLAY FORTNITE I'M GONNA DIIIIIIEEEE!"

Parents are so desperate for attention, that they go through all this trouble of thinking someone is going to actually buy this made up b******t by their kid ... it's pathetic.
