Kids’ logic is a thing of envy. The way they think isn’t bound to some particular reality or concept of reasoning that dictates the rules for the conclusions they have to reach. It’s beautiful because they have unrestricted freedom to be as silly and as adorable as they want without sweating or even understanding it.

Twitter user @sumerianbby shared a story of how she, being a mere 6-year-old, misunderstood the notion of an expiration date on her father’s ID and started crying—she thought it was a particular time for when dad was going to pass away. Kids.

Soon a slew of people joined the conversation, sharing their own stories of how they confused simple concepts and reinterpreted them the way their x-year-old kiddy selves could—using adorable kids’ logic.

    Similar - only an older girl told me I was cancer (astrological sign) and I thought that meant I had cancer and was going to die.

    A week ago I explained to my almost 6 yo what vaccination means, what diseases she will be protected against and how difficult it was for children before these vaccines existed. At the end she said: ok, I will get my vaccine (it wasn't her choice still good that she did it willingly). I feel like just telling a child they will get a shot without explanation is a bit of a miscommunication from parents side anyway.

    Sometimes at school i wished i was shot instead of having to listen to the boring teacher(edit: apologies if my comment sounded insensitive to the Americans i didn't even think of that cause in my country shootings in schools never happen)

    It's not advised to do that! It's better to explain and reassure the child that you are coming back to get it!

    In North Europe all tv shows and movies are dubbed! I found it so strange that i was wondering if people there know the real voices of the actors (edit: i rephrase that in some countries of North and central Europe I've seen this phenomenon.. haven't been to every country in Europe ok)

    until around last year, my kids thought they controlled the back wiper on our car with their voices. if it started raining while we were driving somewhere they'd say "back wiper, wipe one time" and it would! "back wiper, wipe 2 times", and it would! it wasn't until pretty recently that they figured out the wiping mechanism is right at my fingertips, LOL. the way they figured it out was one would say it and turn their heads to make sure it happened, while the other would stare at my hands to see if i did something to trigger the wiper. :-D
