Some parents would reassure you that having young kids is the most wonderful experience of their lives and that they wouldn't trade it for anything else. However, there are plenty of those (especially on social media) who are not shy about the many struggles they go through while trying to grow an offspring into a functional human being. And we're not only glad they upload many photos to illustrate their point because it gives us a good laugh. It also serves as a fair warning. For, after all, kids are quite a challenge. Some are also quite weird, while others - incredibly funny kids. If you didn't think that way already, perhaps you should look through some of the strange things kids say. These little opinionated odd birds always have a piece of unfalteringly logical thinking to share, but most often it categorizes as incredibly weird things to say. Scroll down below to see what parents reported their adorably smart kids had said and don't forget to comment and vote for your favorites! (Facebook cover image: pxhere)

I did this too, but I didn't tell my parents my conclusion because I knew I'd stop getting money for my teeth ;)
Cant recall what age I was when I found half a dozen of my baby teeth in the back of a drawer, sneaked them out and under my pillow, expecting loads of money the next morning. Obviously there was nothing - still remember the disappointment. SIX teeth - was expecting 3 shillings ..Lol
Nine's a bit old to still believe in the tooth fairy isn't it? I can understand still believing in Santa but the tooth fairy?
I did the same exact thing, though somehow I didn't apply my finding to Santa Claus for a couple more years . . . .
Sounds like a joke my dad would forward me. A joke with a (not even that funny) punchline. 4 year olds don't do punchlines, but there are other threads for kid-parent jokes.
" So you're not letting school interfere with your education then? Mark Twain would be proud of you"
Oh jeez, that's kinda unsettling. I wonder how many of my old toys are dead now.

Who names their child Titus though? He had a brother? Domitianus? Father's name is Vespasianus?
Load More Replies...Sounds cool to me too because it reminds of Tidus (FF fans unite ♥) But really, although it's not very common, Titus, Tituš, Tito and other variations could be seen as historical figures.
Load More Replies...For the rest of my life I'll never be able to hear or read the name Titus and not think of Titus Andromedon (Kimmy Schmidt)
I told my son off for faking a cough to try & get cough medicine (he liked the taste), unfortunately I did it within my younger daughter's earshot. Her attempt (and subsequent repetitions) at saying "fake cough" wasn't quite right...

When my girl was 3, she said "can we just go home now? I'm really tired of this" as she rolled her eyes. "But Sarah, you didn't get a Snickers yet !"
I guess she knew she could go to the supermarket whenever she wanted and buy a Snickers, or chocolate or anything she wanted without having to go around playing the fool, dressed like an idiot and knocking on strangers' doors to get food as if you were a stray dog. She's an intelligent kid. More intelligent than many adults.

Answer she is on her break, get your mom to get your ball for you.
My younger cousin always used to go up to adults and say things like "Grandma, you're old." "Uncle XXX, you are fat."
When I was a little kid (4yo) my Dad asked : What was Mommy doing while I was at work? Me: Mommy tooked a bath with 2 men.. Dad: WHAT??? Mom: WHAT? HAHAHAHA
I know a kid, who shall remain anonymous, who was scared of the dark. His Mum forgot to leave the landing light on, so he pooped in the gap between his bed & the wall, then wiped his bum on the wall behind the door. It took her over a day to figure out where the smell was emanating from.
I think you mean the ridiculously over complicated and outdated imperial system! Or though he does use a metric 50 rather than 1/27th of 5/67 - 28 - UNC of a squirrels dream.

I know, right? Hell the Brits and Aussies use stones!!
Load More Replies...That made me LOL! This is why I work with K-3 students, they always make me laugh.
(Data from quick Google search) Average grey squirrel is 500g. Multiplied by 50 = 25kg. Average 3 year old is 14.2kg. He should have said 28 squirrels, but not a bad estimate from a child that age.
Reminds me of the time my baby brother was taking forever in the shower. I went to check on him and there were bubbles all over in the tub. The bottle of shampoo our Mom had just bought was empty. When I asked him what he was doing, he said "I wanted to take a bubble shower"
A pea size amount of shampoo wouldn't clean anybody's hair. I call fake on this one.
A bit with short hair would barely need anything to wash their hair
Load More Replies...Reminds me of about 100 years ago when Art Linkletter had a segment on his TV show in which he interviewed several preschoolers. First question: What did mommy say not to mention on TV? And, of course, kids being so honest they would blurt out the answer. Kids make me laugh.
LMAO, have to really think and choose your words carefully when talking with kids.

No, but life has: The answer is "No that's not how DVD players work".

i'm surprised kids these days even know there was a time before color
Mmmmhhh. When I was 4/5 I asked to my mother if she had electricity when she was a child. Moreover when i was studying Romans time..... I asked if she had shoes in her childhood
When my sister was 4 or 5, she asked my mum if there were dinosaurs at the zoo when she was a little girl.
A child from work (I guess about 6yo) asked me if the bicycle I had as a child had a small backwheel and a very large front wheel...
You'll eat those words if you ever have to walk through a city without shoes on.
You hit a certain age when you have to let out a 'AHHHHHH' when you take your shoes off, i hit it ages ago, especially as i was wearing Dr Martens all day yesterday, it felt amazing.
Must be why my mom's always wishing she never had me but LOOK I'm still here. yay
That is sad for you, i hope you can deal with it someway. My mother said she regretted my existence after i saved her from suicide attempt, was quite a hard time but i blamed it on the sadness she had at the time. Can't imagine what it would be to hear it all the time :'(
Load More Replies...This, from the child who has probably left the house (on more than one occasion) wearing a yellow striped shirt with neon blue pants and ballet slippers or a church shirt with sweatpants and her winter boots...in August.
My daughter told me I am growing a moustache! She also says I dress like a butch lesbian & am "basically a dude with boobs"! I told her it is a package deal!
She MUST have been about 12. Little girls are the unicorns of our closets (this is pretty! that is pretty! Oh YOU look SO pretty!) But, after about 15 minutes, they change and become these absolutely horrible creatures who only want to mock you and THEN - steal your boots!
That sounds like the Oscar Wilde quote about hideous wallpaper, lying on his deathbed he says "either the wallpaper goes or I do", and then he died.
"My mommy gave me to your family to be your best friend". Disney version. "I´m an ET bond to this kitten body to help you against the evil of this world". Marvel version. "I crawl out of tighten bag full with my brothers´ corpses and swim to the river shore. Now feed me slave". DC version.
If only Iron Man had a cat. Thanos would have never dared wipe out half the universe.
This guy cracks me up. Am I the only one that noticed that he also provided a lot of the ones about what God was thinking when he created animals?
LOL, my son was at least three or four before he discovered that every dog in the world was not named "Damn Dog",
and yet, the norm is "silly goose." i, for one, am more likely to be afraid of a goose than a dog!
Love all animals, but would no more try to pet a goose than a lion. Bitten by a swan once. Neither has teeth in the real sense.They are serrated, jagged (and very hard) cartilage lining the edge of the beak, but function like teeth for gripping and ripping vegetation. Geese also have something similar on the sides of the tongue, give worse bites and are way more agressive towards humans.

I just bursted in tears. Had the same wish but there was no hairdresser to understand or performing an undercut or close to that, especially to a child. But I would have cried tears of joy if someone lightened that heat keeping vlies my hair used to be. Even in winter. Now I see young girls rocking a sidecut in the suburbs.
"Let us never speak of the mullet again, please Mum?! It haunts both my dreams & my waking moments!"
Or the punk version; shaved on the left, flopped over long on the right.
My babysitter somehow convinced me that I wanted a mullet when I was maybe five. She even made a little book. Luckily I never actually got one.
My son was 6 when he told me he liked sleeping, because "It's like being dead, but not having to stay dead." He was going through a phase. I once also woke up to find him standing over me with a torch lit & pointed right at me. He said "Carry on", turned off the torch & just kept on standing there... in the dark. He is 19 now & mostly normal! No teenager is "normal"!
this american immediately thought "stick with fabric and fire on it" instead of "flashlight". Thought your son was going to start chanting "one of us... one of us..."

As a mother of three (the eldest now 25), I can state, with confidence, WELL DONE, Mom!!
My son was & still is suspicious of anything with a sauce. He wonders what it is hiding. Quote from my son aged 9: "What lurks within the sauce mother...?" I gave up trying to cook anything too spectacular for him when he kept referring to my efforts as looking like cat sick! Luckily my daughter hasn't got the same sauce based prejudices, so I cook when he is at Uni!
Not for all the tea in China! My two are 19 & 17 now. I am looking forward to just being a cash machine!
Mmm...I don't blame your child for wanting to get in the oven with the cornbread. Cornbread is delicious, and, let me tell you, it's painful to wait for it to bake.
while one of my cornbread-loving sons never wanted to get in the oven with it, he loved it so much that i made a birthday "cake" from cornbread for him one year, complete with candles & all the milk he could dunk it in. best decision ever--definitely got bonus points that year!
I was 31 when I found out pirates were real. I always thought they were mythical like fairies and dragons etc.

I mathed very hard this morning. Man square roots and algebra is some intense mathing. Yeah. I mathed. yeah...
I turn all sorts of words into adjectives by adding -ly or -ish to them, why can't you turn other words into verbs by adding -ed?
reminds me of that thing from that one show "Me failing english? That's unpossible"

That's funny. I remember when my teenager thought I listened to classical music when he turned on my car radio and I was listening to music from the 50's. You know, Elvis et al. I also remember when he wanted me to take him to break dancing and then would I take him to my chiropractor!! And he wasn't kidding!
Obviously this kid is a genius. It's got the same reading preferences as me.

My daughter did my hair at that age , I said the same thing and she said the same thing and I asked her why and she said that if I looked in the mirror at my hair then I would know.
I did like that. Mom:I feel beautiful and not yucky. I said:No ur just as yucky and ugly as before,REDO!!
i would totally watch a show about kids doing makeovers on adults, just for the comments by the kids
My Grandma complains that my Grandad couldn't find a clean shirt in a wardrobe full of them! We don't have the heart to tell her he was just too scared to wear the wrong one! Church shirt for gardening, best shirt for work, work shirt at a funeral, so he would pretend he couldn't find one so she would give him "the right shirt"! I wish I had met him, he sounds like he was a true gentleman & a saint!
That's from curious george episode! George uses food etc to make a trail so he can find his way at night time in the dark ;)

Children are weird from an adult's perspective, but I bet the adult world feels odd to them. (Thinking of the Little Prince)
My daughter said Lellow for the color Yellow, and that is the color of the sun, baby ducks, and post it notes. You cant tell us otherwise.
I still feeling sorry for my parents who spent a whole year trying to work out what the "HOW DO STICK" was that I kept begging for age 4. All becme clear on a trip to Blackpool when I spotted a "how do stick" full of sweeties in a shop. Every day on the way to school we had passed an old gentleman who would raise his shepherd's crook walking stick whilst saying "How Do" (How do you do)
I recently uncovered a journal filled with drawings I made in Kindergarten featuring a gory gang fight between some cats and some mice, involving guns, blood, and the cats being ripped in half. I'm glad that my real cats didn't see these images.
For years my son called a trampoline a bounce-oline. It feels weird when someone calls it the right name.
My little sister was convinced that water was called "Yaw" for, like, a year. We just couldn't convince her that SHE was the one saying it wrong! XD
Our 5yo told us few days ago, that penis looks like a banana peel. I have no idea why my husband didn't laugh as hard as I did :-)
Two days ago I was getting ready for work early in the morning, my 4 year old son watching me get ready when he asks me how old I am. I replied my age and his reply: WHAT!?!? You're 2000 years old!?" Thanks kid...
