Mom Shares 29 Hilarious Things Her 6 Y.O. Says To Stall Her From Leaving His Room At Bedtime
Every parent knows that kids can be truly weird sometimes. And despite their delicate age, some children are surprisingly aware of sneaky manipulation tactics. The combination of two can lead to a bit of a headache for the parent, but more often than not it results in a hearty laugh. As in the case of Kate Bowler, who recently shares a hilarious Twitter thread with her followers where she detailed a series of dialogues she and her 6-year-old had.
Turns out, her son Zach has a habit of uttering pretty interesting things in order to stall his mommy's leaving during bedtime. After a while, Bowler decided to write down what he says and share it with her audience on social media. Unsurprisingly, the hilarious things her little one says quickly garnered attention and received thousands of likes and comments. So scroll down below and check out Zach's brilliantly humorous ideas. Oh, and don't forget to comment and vote for your favorites!

It's cute but sad... I live in Central America, where Latinos do not make their children sleep in the scary dark by themselves. The children are so much more secure here. No need to make up stories to keep a parent near. They just close their eyes and go to sleep knowing their loved ones, siblings and protectors are near. Seems a lot more natural to me.

Actually, I did that once, age 5. I just had a feeling that my parents might not appreciate caterpillars as pets, so I put them into a shoe box, made nice big holes for air, and hid it under my bed. Woke up screaming with bugs all over me. Decided not to be a naturalist like Dr. Doolittle. (1950's--the book!)

I put tadpole in the little kids pool we kept out back. Had a busy week and forgot them. My brother was cutting grass and unfortunately hit one of the now frogs, sent it flying over the fence into the neighbors hair. I can still hear her screaming "Bobby, it's raining frog parts, Get out here Bobby." I probably could have gotten away with it if I could have stopped laughing. Still laughing at it, my brother was 5 yrs older thought I had done it on purpose and bowed to me, said you win little sis, no one will ever top that one....I never told him the truth LOL

i got over my fear of Lightening when my daughter showed her fear of a storm, We sat out under the porch and watched the rain and the storm, and I taught her how to count for the thunder. She told me after, 'I'm glad I stopped you being frightened of getting hit with thunder mum, can we do this again tomorrow night.'

Kids should not have to sleep in a cold, dark room alone... it's really not natural! Other countries and cultures let children sleep with their parents. I did, and did it for too long, but better than leaving a kid by themselves when they really want natural and normal companionship. Seems like we raise our children to work and make money or go to war. There's other ways to live.

No this is a natural response. The one who created us was not born and did not have children. There is nothing like Him.

When I was little I tried to start random conversations! Once I got out of bed in the middle of the night and said, hey mom? I never told you about the hermit crabs in my classroom! I did not have any hermit crabs in my classroom.

When he asked what happened to the Lizard, did you tell him it ran away, or the cat ate it.

Why do I get the suspicion that he brought in a raccoon and hid it

He is just scared of racoons and acting like his mom is as an outlet for his fear. I think.

Sometimes, when you know that you are quite, quite safe, it is downright delicious to do a mud-roll in DAAaAaangerous stuff. When I had a male Bernese Mountain dog, very big and very cuddly, among the kids in the neighbourhood were twin boys who at the time were around five years old. They used to come by to play with the dog, as did all the other kids, but this one day I met them on the street when I was taking the dog for a walk. and instead of the boys giving the dog a big hug, one of them says "Is the dog dangerous?' and I answer "Haha, you know he isn't." The brother goes, with big eyes and pretending to be dead serious, "But he can BITE, can't he?" "Of course he won't!" The first twin: "But he has teeth, he could bite you know" It went on like this for a while and it was obvious how much they enjoyed the meeting with the suddenly-really-dangerous-beast. I tried my very best to play along and keep myself from showing how hilariously funny I found them.

You know what, I think this little guy is on the right track, because if we saw every international border as the result of civil war then maybe it would be easier to realize and acknowledge that we are all humans and that we are all in this boat together. In the long run, we had better learn to cooperate much better than we are at the present time. All our children and their descendants have every right to be very angry with the previous couple of generations because we have messed up their future.

From the Old French "librarie", derived from the Latin "libraria". It's formed from the word "liber" (book). It's believed to come from the PIE word for "peeling", possibly related to the word for tree bark. Writings at that time were mostly written on skins or wood. "Liber" also means "free", but that one comes from the PIE word for "people" so it's not actually related to the word "library".

6 yr molar, then 12 yr molar. Most boys don't get wisdom teeth until 16. Some never have any, we don't need or use them anymore so they are disappearing

Lynda Momalo, if you have ever been around a 6 year old, nothing they say makes sense, and it rubs off on you, too, so sometimes, you don't have proper grammar coming out of your mouth. If you don't have something nice to say, don't say it. Most kids can follow this better. You're an adult, right? Most adults know this.

My son (also 6) started doing this every night with a sip of water right after his tuck in, hug and kiss. After a couple weeks (I also have a 2 year old daughter) of the pre-tuck ins (bath, teeth brushing, etc.) I would say, (Ok, if you want a sip of water, get one now." He is just starting with these. Tonight's was, "Mom, are we ever going to have to stop paying bills?" Me, at the door, ready to switch of light: "No, son, it's just a part of life ." Him:"Are we ever going to have A LOT of money?" Me: "Maybe." Him: "Will you buy me something awesome then?" Me:"Sure. Think of what you would like before you fall asleep." They are getting pretty deep. For a six year old.
