Before babies learn to talk in a real language like English, they babble and coo, playing with sound. That's baby talk, something that sounds similar all over the world. But they get good fast.

Of course, it depends on the situation, but according to experts, most babies are able to say a few simple words such as "mama" and "dadda" around their first birthday. Even more, they know what they're saying! By the time they're 3, babies expand their vocabulary rapidly, and "make-believe" play spurs an understanding of symbolic and abstract language like "now," feelings like "sad," and spatial concepts like "in." They also learn how to scare the poo out of their parents.

When Dan Schreiber shared a particularly creepy thing his child told him, moms and dads quickly expanded his tweet into a strangely funny thread, full of lines and concepts you'd think exist only in horror movies. Here are some of the best!

In the woods behind my home there are three graves (there used to be an old hospital at this spot and they sometimes buried patients on the hospital grounds.) One day while out for a run I jumped the little fence surrounding the graves to check them out. According to the tombstones there were two men and a women burried there. I went home and didn't speak about my detour. But that night my then 4 year old daughter awoke from a nightmare. She dreamd two men and a women were standing in her room staring at her. It's been ten years since this incident. Fortunately she never had the dream again. And I have never gone near those graves again.

My son when was 3 found a beer cap once. He showed it and said 'look mommy, when I was big and you were little like me, I let you drink from it'! The only person who did that was my grandpa - I was his beloved granddaughter and he died long before my son was born. I allways new that he is somewere around me, too many good 'coincidences' in my life :)

Former Editor-in-Chief turned parenting blogger, the woman who runs Motherhood: The Real Deal and 40 Now What, Talya Stone, told Bored Panda that there are a variety of ways in which parents can encourage and teach their kids to speak. "A good place to start is asking them open-ended questions and actually being present to hear out their answers," Stone said.

"Kids are notorious for clamming up and pretending like they have nothing going on in their minds, but parents can encourage them to open up by asking them who, what, where, why questions. Imagine you are a TV presenter interviewing them if that helps! Active listening really helps which is when you reflect or repeat back what your child is saying and what they may be feeling to make sure you understand - especially when they come out with oddball statements included in this article!"

    So times extreme trauma, is said to carry over with your soul, to your new life. Kids,are full of pre- current life information .. little boy in the UK, remembered as past life on an island, where his family had lived. The cottage was still there, still owned by his previous family. He, as a young boy, drowned or died on the island, and he could show his parents where. They were able to contact the family and a couple of them met the boy and his family, and went into the cottage, and talked. The boy's memories were spot on, and he knew to older men's names. How cool is this?

    But whether kids are giving their parents the creeps or cracking them up, people outside the family can have a difficult time understanding the little Shakespeares without a translation from mom and dad.

    "I think we (the parents) get what our kids are saying because we share a deep connection — they are already a little bit of us. We also have a vested interest to understand them and be on their side, they are our kids after all. Also, parents have a very good way of humoring their children, which can seem to an outsider like we know what they are saying (when really we don't!)," Stone revealed.

    My grandson was playing with Orbeez. A pellet that when put in water, puffs up into a water filled ball. Now, when my daughter was pregnant, he was very active. Kicked all the time. He continued playing with the beads, and said, "You know, when I was in one of these, I didn't have any room to move my legs." The following week, he said, "Nonni, you know when I came out, I had to turn." Exactly how babies are born. He has also asked my daughter who walked by his bathroom. And once, while she was cleaning her car, she pulled a photo of my stepfather, who Adored her. He had never met him. He died a good decade or more before he was born. He casually looked at the photo and said, "Oh, that's grampa!" She asked him if he knew his name. He said "Yes. Grampa Mike." Spot on, and I truly hope he keeps his gift as the years pass.

    My dad told us a story about his youngest brother: when my uncle was 5, he asked my grandmother where did he come from. She replied something like "God sent you here from Heaven". Then my uncle asked "Is that where the blue-eyed boy lives?". My grandmother had had another baby before him, a stillborn; the only boy with blue eyes of all her children.

    Just like these pictures, Talya Stone highlighted that children say all sorts of strange things, many of which may not be true.

    "Kids like to try things on when it comes to words, phrases, and ideas. So if a child says something creepy to you, try not to take it too seriously, but at the same time, it's important not to mock them and hear them out," she said.

    In fact, you should not criticize their wrong words. Instead, help them say it properly — for example, if a baby points to a cat and says "Ca!" say: "Yes, it's a cat." For more tips on how to help your sweetie talk, check out this page.

    The Sisters of the Congrégation de Notre-Dame arrived in Kingston on November 21, 1841. They established their very first mission in Ontario and, by the same token, one of the first English schools: Notre Dame Convent. In 1967, after over one hundred twenty-five years, the convent closed. Not Notre-Dame de Paris.

    Phew, my three year old daughter was crying in the middle of the night the other day. When I asked her what was wrong she told me in a sobbing voice: "I like cookies" At least I can relate to her dreams.

    A scientist in Canada discovered memories ARE passed on thru our genes. We are a physical being and this explains why some people have these experiences. We used to think left handed peole were witches, NOW we know it is a genetic trait. There is no magic involved.

    We need to encourage parents to encourage their kids to talk more when they say things like this—-and record as much as possible. Then do a bit of research, based on information in the recordings, and see if you can find out who they were. I’m convinced that feelings of déjà vu are remnants of these memories surfacing—-but not remaining long enough for all the information to come out—-later in life when you happen to be in a place you remember from a past life.

    The same thing happened to my sister. They were traveling and went to a town she’d never been. She felt like she’d been there before and even knew where certain things were. She said that there was a cafe in this area before. She even knew the name. Now there’s a store there. They did some digging with a resident and sure enough , 50 years ago there was a coffee shop by that name over 50 years ago, it was leveled for the store. She was under 50 at that time.

    This happens, no, wait, this no longer happens after a certain age because parents start telling children it is not real and just their imagination. Prior to that negative influence, their minds are open to all the possibilities of the universe. Been that child and still remember some of it, and sad that I now have doubts about the reality of it because of my parents. Why would you doubt a toddler describing an ancestor they have never previously seen photos of and you have never mentioned?

    new (and some old) studies actually support fleas ticks and lice on humans as being the culprits and not those carried by rats.spread too fast to go through extra loop of rat transmission, and lacking evidence of massive rat die off), since that's what everyone seems to be commenting on here instead of talking about how completely creepy this is!!

The person told them that they've been connected for a long time and in previous lifes my sister has been my mother's mother. Funny thing, my sister has tried to "control" my mother's life since she was a kid, like imagine a 5 year old asking her mother "where are you going? With who? At what time will you be coming home??"

    It would've been really sucky to get a negative review.

    You need to start recording this or writing it down because it sounds like a great start or contents of a book

    Doesnt sound like he was paralyzed. Sounds more like night terrors. (different from nightmares)

    I think I was some kind of pirate in a past life. I also started learning norweigan about a month ago and it was strangely easy for me. I gave up out of boredom, though.

    I think I was in the Smoky Mountains in a past life. When my husband and I go visit the Cades Cove loop, I feel so grounded and at home. I literally forget about every worry and stressor I currently have. A couple of the cabins feel strangely familiar to me and I feel super linked to that place.

    I've always had a pretty "horrifying fascination" with the Third Reich. Maybe I'm just a history nerd, but man did I inhale the history books on that

    I always wanted to go to Italy, when i was a teenager. For my 18 birthday my family offered me a trip there. I went to a lot of places in Italy, but i really felt something different in Veneza (Venice?), i really felt that it was a special place for me, but with no special reason.. almost 10 years later i went to see someone who could see our past lifes that were relevant for this life. The first life he talked about (the one that was nearest to now) was of me in Veneza, apparently i used to live there (wasn't a very good life, sadly)

    I had dream where I was one of the guys who assassinated Julius Caesar. This was months before I learned abut it, and at the time I had no idea Julius Caesar had ever even been a real person.

    Why do these double posts seem to bother you? Just scroll past and forget about it. Everyone makes small mistakes. I try not to let these small ones bother me.

    Why so rude and aggressive? Where you a tool bag in your previous life?

    More likely that he was a tool. And not even the sharpest tool in the shed.

    Why so angry and racist? Don’t force you beliefs on us. Everyone has a right to believe how they want to. Calling people pricks really doesn’t change my beliefs! Geez!
