30 Hilarious Memes And Posts Shared By The “Stuff Tiny Humans Say” Instagram Page
Interview With OwnerI can’t believe I’m gonna be making this comparison, but the way kids think most of the time is kinda sorta like how AI thinks—you have no idea how their brain works and how it learns things, kinda sorta, but the intermediate results of their thinking are sure to be entertaining. And logical in nearly all cases! Logical being very subjective.
And just like AI can come up with very bizarre concepts based on its own very different degree of creativity, so can kids with their still developing brain that is trying to understand the complex, nuanced world we live in.
Enter Stuff Tiny Humans Say, an Instagram page that kicked off as a hub for sharing all the most something (genius, hilarious, that sort of thing) things kids have ever said, but over time it has developed into a very wholesome and socially responsible page full of not just things kids say, but parenting life posts in general.
Bored Panda got in touch with the page’s creator Miss K to talk more about this little initiative, so you’re invited to read that while you’re also checking out, upvoting, and commenting on the best submissions found on the page below.

Haha I love how it went from wholesome to "mwahahaha" 😈
I believed my mom was a witch when I couldn't find something after searching my room for hours, and my mom would find it in the first 5 seconds! She definitely used the summoning charm!
I want to know with what materials this actually works. Whenever I've tried to do it it doesn't mix and just becomes a mess.
I wanted to be a nice guy too... but then I had to become an adult, and it ruined everything 😥
It's a good time to take lots of pictures, because your memory isn't working well and when you look back later you can remember that, yeah, it was hard but it was also meaningful. Also, from the future "you" (or at least another parent who just got kid 2 in school this year): "this part is really hard, but it's also meaningful. You are doing better than it seems like"
Load More Replies...For some reason my brain chose to read that 'am I pregnant enough'? That was interesting.
Seriously, this brought tears to my eyes! Such an unexpected reaction, but damn if it didn't hit close to home and make me feel better...
Maybe I should make my self more clear...give me a double bourbon on the rocks
You said double burden on the rocks? *hands you another toddler who promptly kicks you in the procreators*
Load More Replies...Oi vey... My youngest was 10 pounds at birth. By 3 he was about 40 pounds. I hated the mornings he just didn't want to get bundled up into the car. A complete nightmare... He's about to turn 14, he's already 6" (182. Cm). Fortunately he's mellowed with age! 😬😂
Probably actively carrying something that weighs more than her, either livestock or water or food.
Load More Replies...Kid: What'll it be dad? Me: Something strong. *grabs the milk* M: Stronger. K: I got you. *grabs the chocolate milk*
Hershey's Special Dark, right??? :)
Load More Replies...Women aren't allowed to compete in calf wrestling at rodeos. This is the reason I always thought that ridiculous.
I'm so glad those days are over. Now I can drink because I want to. Not because I have to.
Incredible strength & the ability to twist & bend their bodies in ways never meant to fit into a car seat
I never found having a job any more boring or tedious than being in school, and at least I got paid for the job. Never got a penny for the time I spent in a classroom. ;-)
Load More Replies...I think that's what art class and music class are for
Load More Replies...Four is too young to start school. When I was a kid, you did kindergarten, which wasn't mandatory then, at five and started first grade at six.
I'm not entirely sure but I think the kindergarten might be apart of the school? I don't know. But you're right, I didn't start school until I was 6. Kindergarten at 3, 4, and 5.
Load More Replies...Same. School is a death trap for me because I have social anxiety. And now one of my teachers is being extra hard on us to pay attention but my ADHD makes it hard for me
Wait until you're an adult and have a dead-end job. Then talk about drained batteries.
So, the idea behind Stuff Tiny Humans Say initially originated around 10 years ago when its creator, Miss K, started working as a preschool teacher.
The inspiration behind much of what you can see on the page is actually all thanks to the tiny humans Miss K was teaching. During her first year, she decided to jot down some of the things they would say, which inevitably led to her starting to share these gold nuggets with the internet.
And, as it turned out, people were much more into it than she was expecting, and her modest following of family members grew into the current 16,700-follower crowd all waiting for top quality child wisdom.
By all means ... Big emotions and dance are a perfect combination!!
"Come on kids, let's do the angry dance! Puuunch to the left! puuuuunch to the right! Kick-cross!"
Load More Replies...Well obviously, babies come from space! Now, tacos... that's a real mystery.
Yup. As mysterious as santa claus, or the tooth fairy, or the easter bunny... some things, we'll never know...
Load More Replies...In Mexico many households eat tacos everyday! After all a taco is almost any kind of stew or filling wrapped in a corn tortilla. 😃
Having recently spent time in Mexico, I can confirm from personal experience that one absolutely can eat tacos every day!
Load More Replies...Y'know, you could use this as an opportunity to expand her tastes. Teach her the different "tacos" there are throughout So. America. Let her help with prep. I miss doing stuff like this. They really do grow up so fast...
You need lots of different foods to have a healthy body. Tacos taste good, but don't have all the things to make you healthy. Besides, if you ate tacos every single day, wouldn't you get bored of tacos?
Haha my niece's farts are the worst... and she goes out of her way to fart directly on or at me 💩
I wish my kids would...they would rather fart in my room and lol when I ask why it smells like eggs and McDonald's fries.
Well, no one HAS to make post their entire-åss life on Twitter. It's worked remarkably well for me...
And so hungry too! Brain stops when hungry and tired and stupid just naturally follows.
Our son was a preemie an spent a few weeks in the hospital after he was born. When we finally brought him home his older sister walked into the room and said "I DON'T WANT IT... TAKE IT BACK" none of us knew what to say... A few years later he got even, after watching a commercial he said " I KNOW what P..M.S. means... Pretty MEAN sister... "
My son was thrilled when we told him he was getting a little sister. "I'm glad its a girl. Now I won't have to share my toys."
He'd thought that thru beforehand. Truly the beginnings of a genius mind.
Load More Replies...My grandson asked for another baby. His mom said " You have Molly". Henry replied " I think you can do better."... ( but they do love each other)!
I tried to do that with my brother lol. We just lost him last July now I wish we could have more time
But, since its launch, the page has gone through some change—believe you me, in a good way. It developed into including more than just what kids say, branching out into sharing everything from parenting memes to motivational quotes to socio-political advocacy posts defending all that is right and good.
“In addition to sharing the stuff tiny humans say, I have a lot to say when it comes to advocating for children’s rights—and being a closeted aspiring writer, this ignited the more political-sided posts,” explained Miss K.
“Once I established an online network of educators, I figured why not share my (more serious) thoughts and support like-minded teachers in their journey to creating inclusive classrooms that reflect ALL children and family types.”
“Children thrive when they feel heard and all of a sudden I had this gigantic platform where I could magnify their voices from around the world. The internet can suck sometimes but this part is pretty magical.”
I need some context here... this is either super cute or ridiculously macabre and sad.
If I understand correctly, the OP is a teacher and cannot see their students because of quarantine. This may be false because I just skimmed and did not delve too deep, just clicked the link.
Load More Replies...The BP detectives have deduced that this is most likely a teacher with a student who has moved up a grade or 2.
Load More Replies...Miss?? Please say it's just a Grandma can't see you because of the virus thing.. PLEASE
Let me share some wisdom with you. "poop'
Load More Replies...seems like the kid failed that test. that's not so hard. a few more like that and he'll fail the class. maaaaaaaaaybe public school would have been a better option for the kid.
Sweet now I know if I become romantic too people will like me
Load More Replies...please send name of Shampoo - does it come in different flavors -Sharp cheddar - Brie??
Might be the result of a lack of shampoo 😂
Load More Replies...My exact words on the first date with now wife. P.S we're married for 21 years.
This sounds like a spicy horror story waiting to be written.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. Kahil Gibran
I just tell them eat what I give you or skip it. (No allergies or intolerances, just picky). Hunger strike never lasts more than one meal.
She continued: “Enter motherhood 5 years ago, and I had a whole new topic I could smear in there and a new target audience I could relate to.”
“Long story short, Stuff Tiny Humans Say started off small and grew with the times—it grew with me, really. It eventually turned into a public recording of my thoughts and experiences as a teacher, mother and human. So while I like to think it’s entertaining for some, maybe it’s helpful to others. No doubt it’s [irked] a ton of people along the way and has come with its share of trolls and empty threats, but hey, people are reading it and that’s pretty darn cool.”
Who says it's a female teacher? I don't read this as 'poor women should ask men for money' but as 'rich people should give poor people money', without any gender involved.
Load More Replies...And you told me to try again . . . and I failed . . .
Load More Replies...Dear tiny human - remember to say thank you to your parents they are Gems
I think this must be true, I know several who never had a parent tell them and it didn’t turn out so well
Invest in education. All these other issues plaguing the world will sort out in a less than a generation if we just invested in education....
Can we at least light something on fire or cause a ruckus in a public park?
Yes, why are people so obsessed with baby genitals anyways?
Amen to that! I don't see people as genders and I'm so sick of people telling me I have to identify as a gender based on my body parts.
“S ex” = body parts/genetics/hormones. “Gender “ = brain/brain structure. Hope this helps!
Load More Replies...Isn't this thread supposed to be about the things tiny people say. That does not sound in any way like a tiny person speaking.
Unfortunately, there have been some bumps in the road for Miss K, and that meant putting aside the page to focus on other aspects of life. This inevitably meant that Stuff Tiny Humans Say was put on the backburner without the burner really being on. So, we simply had to ask what happened:
“This has been my longest hiatus yet and admittedly it was a selfish one. When the pandemic hit, the world divided. In turn, social media developed into this vapid platform for people to argue and hate each other. It felt like every time I was going online I was being projected to this intense negativity and it affected me—mentally, emotionally, even physically—so, I logged off while I still had a soul in my body and here we are.”
“While I do miss being creative and writing, it’s been pretty amazing to just be present in motherhood and enjoy life without a phone in my hand. That being said, I do catch myself as of late thinking of new topics to write about as I attempt to tackle life yet again with a newborn, so maybe I just needed a reset and a resurrection is in order for the near future.”
“I do worry, however, that in this new age of TikTok and Reels, nobody will really care to read what my old [self] has to write about (does anybody just write anymore?), so maybe I should teach myself how to be hip with the times before I rip the band-aid off completely…”
When I was a kid I would sharpen my crayons by turning the crayon as I used it. I also liked to scratch the excess wax off when I was done. I was a mess on the first day of kindergarten when they made me put my brand new crayons in the communal bowl because I was afraid the other kids wouldn't take care of them like I would.
Load More Replies...I agree... these last several decades would have been at least - more colorful
One the one hand: literal finger painting, yes! On the other hand: if you thought greasy finger prints on everything is annoying, you're really gonna hate our new colourful finger prints.

Load More Replies...During the quarantine, My 5 year old granddaughter had zoom classes at home. She came into the kitchen after about 10 minutes. Mom said " Is class over already?" Molly, " No, she's still talking, but I'm done!"...
I mean, it sounds like you did too, though... If it's bothering you then just take it out. If that's your hubby's only "chore" he does at home, then you have a much bigger problem.
How is someone only having chore an issue? You can't say it is until you know the details of their life
Load More Replies...But it's not full full, there's still room for a paper towel or two.
My husband told me this morning that he bagged up the trash and was taking it out. I didn't expect such sexy talk so early.
Are you passive-aggressively sitting next to the trash can waiting for your husband to do something about it, or are you able to communicate with your partner in a constructive manner?
My husband does the dishes, the laundry, takes out the trash, takes our crazy dogs out at six am so I don't have to get outta bed. Get yourselves a nerdy guy who was bullied in high school and love him with your whole heart as hard as you can. He'll move mountains, not just the trash.
This also does not sound like a tiny person, however I think many wives can relate to that.
Sometimes entering into their chaos is empathetic and then demonstrate how to come out of it. You aren't teaching them by sitting serenely on the sofa!
Exactly! You want to be a safe and calming presence, but you also have to explore emotions! Otherwise, you're just trivializing their feelings, causing (potentially life-lasting) self-doubt, creating cognitive dissonance which feeds into stress, and -- most importantly -- not parenting your children. You teach them how to navigate through their feelings... and also accept that there will be moments (whether the individual is 3 or 43 years old), that are simply too much to handle. Then you do damage control. And try to teach damage control along the way. If I'm enraged or devastated, I need someone to share those emotions with me. I'm lucky enough to have a mother who does that and yet also "brings it full circle" and (when appropriate) turns it into a life-lesson without being patronizing or dismissive. I really lucked out when it came to moms. We also underestimate kids' ability to reason and use logic. Sometimes you really can just explain things while still validating them.
Load More Replies...BUT, sometimes they need alone time to calm down too. Their rational brain is sometimes off when in a fit. They need time for that lightbulb to pop back on or you're just running into a wall.
Ah. But there is also a time when screaming and jumping up and down just like them SHOCKS THEM into silence and compliance. Sooo, just sayin'.
When my 6mo son was overwhelmed, I sang 'an angry song' for him. Most of the time it was "Delilah" from The Cranberries. He smiled and calmed down every time. Still works today. Edit :grammar
Lies! Entropy is the natural state of the universe. Go wild until the kiddo stops and looks at you like you're insane.
Did anybody else wonder why this was talking about little people and not kids?
Eh 2yr old or 40yr old husband ive learned matching their ridiculous behavior, mirroring, is only way to get their attn. Ridiculous but it works. Yrs ago behavior therapist said same. They bite you bite back they nvr bite again. True. It works. Now Husband unfortunetly is a different story...
Sound advice though still inconsistent with the theme of the thread as it is not spoken by a tiny person.
I say; Welcome to my world! When my daughter, finally comes around to be with her boys.
As briefly mentioned above, the page features a variety of content. Most notably, it’s all the darnedest things kids have ever said, but there are other topics that Miss K touches upon.
Everything else includes political commentary in the form of poetry, socio-cultural commentary, pointing out the good in the world, reminding people that even heroes need rest, laying down some historical knowledge up in this [shut your mouth], childish shenanigans, among many other good things.
So, considering all of this, we asked Miss K to summarize everything she has ever posted in one sentence, and here are some words to live by: “If you worry that every single thing you’re doing is wrong, you’re doing it right.”
Wildly unpopular opinion: I didn't mind lockdown. I rather enjoyed getting to spend more time with my kids. It wasn't all fun and games but I also didn't find it terrible.
What about quarantine with a little brother who is also a kindergartener? That's me!
Yes although from what I understand they still get a good deal, as you also give them all your snacks and privacy.
A tiny human didn't say a lot of these. BP articles have a way of veering OT and dissolving into a hot mess.
Load More Replies...If only she could have said "parenthood" instead, this would have been a touching message instead of a sexist rant.
Why is it a sexist rant? It is one sentence about motherhood that in no way negates fatherhood or even references men at all.....are you saying that if women reference their experiences they must always include male perspective or it is sexist? Genuine inquiry on perspective.
Load More Replies...Sweet post, but it's not something tiny people would say...they would probably word it like (I will never let go of your heart) -spoken by 6 year old concerning her baby brother.
Upvote Illicit's comment, everyone. The struggle is real!
Load More Replies...Ok, so now your job is to give them a "distraction task". They just want to be with you, and one day you're going to miss that.
I live in a very small apartment. My grandsons, are banned from the kitchen while cooking. Unless, their hurt.
Sigh while I enjoy funny parenting posts I was looking forward to funny things kids say.
I am incredibly grateful my children are grown and I didn't have to try to work from home, and parent at the same time, as well as be a stand in teacher.
Hats off to those who did and made it out the other side.
Load More Replies...I feel this parents pain! My daughter was in kindy when the 1st lock down happened in Australia 😔 she just wanted to be in the classroom with her amazing teacher and her new friends 😢
Crikey, that is also my government's plan for revitalising the economy.
Finally yay! More from actual tiny people. Scribbling is a toddlers secret language, a cipher no adult has ever cracked. What secrets doth it hold I wonder lol.
Lastly, we’ve asked Miss K to share one thing she wishes more people understood, and here’s what she had to say:
“Children are people. They are real-life human beings that come with real-life emotions and ideas. They have rights like you and me, and they are not put on this planet for us to control or intimidate.”
“Can they be annoying? Absolutely. Will you often question your sanity when you’re around them? Definitely. But do you know what happens when a child feels heard and included? Magic.”
“Slow down. Take the time to listen. Take the time to teach. Take the time to learn.”
“And above all else, don’t take it all so seriously. Whether you’re a parent, educator, left, right or simply just passing by, life is short and tiny humans are hilarious. Have some [foopin’] fun and be kind out there.“
And if you want more knowledge bestowed upon you, or to just have a good ol’ scrollin’ time, be sure to check out Stuff Tiny Humans Say on Instagram, Facebook or (and?) Twitter. But before you do that, you like totally need to share your thoughts, ideas, memes, whatever, in the comment section below!
Never too late to start believing in magic my friend.
Load More Replies...This is real, much better then other sicky slogans on here!! I'm a widow raising a 5 year old. Alone since she was 3. This is life and it's working for me and my little one! Add in a sentence about gratitude and teaching about emotions and it'll be perfect!
You sound like a wonderful human being. I wish you the very best

Homeschool means schooled at home. Nowdays there is UnSchooling, Co- Op groups, its exciting and fun. To ec their own. I was not homeschooled nor are my kids by the way.
They will, as long as they're actually doing their work. I've seen a very alarming trend of parents saying their kids are being homeschooled and literally teaching them NOTHING. I met a completely illiterate 10 year old a few years back. Mom said she, "Didn't seem ready to learn and didn't want to force her." Sense needs to go with your sensibility. School doesn't need to be a rigid prison, but it still needs some sort of structure.
Clearly not a British person as It doesn’t make’ would have been the last line. Our schools close very early.
American schools close between 2 and 4. The older the kids the earlier they go in and are dismissed. I think this was just showing feeling like the entire “productive day” needed to be scheduled during lockdowns.
Load More Replies...Yes it is hard. 1) they don't want what you made. 2) Don't want a bath but once they're in it's hell getting them out. 3) Bedtime? *laughs in toddler*
I went out with a friend the other night and before I left my MIL asked if her son/my husband would be ok "babysitting" our kids...the kids are 15 & 10, I think he can handle parenting them for a night thanks! Even when they were younger he was great but the older generation just can not let go of that mentality.
meh. not a fan of these kinds of memes. it assumes that moms always fill those roles and dads are incapable of doing so. It’s unfair to both.
He is saying that to the teacher maybe. Underneath says he is brown nosing which is slang for being a suck up ( ok thats not a good refrence either hmm im perplexed) up somones bum giving them compliments to get your way... idk if any of that made sense lol give up, squirrel.
Load More Replies...No, no you wouldn't... because of sex organs and biochemistry. Mom guilt is generally a hormone-induced response while your body is still chalked full of them.
Hormones are 100% an aspect of a lot of things that happen in motherhood. This post is talking about the fact that more pressure is put on mothers than father's in a lot of cultures.
Load More Replies...Is it? I’m a stay at home dad and I feel like this all the time. Equality oh yea. Only on her terms
Lol lol lol heehee he got told on yea same hope he isnt married to her mom whoops
You know, it was such a fun page. And then you just had to inject woke and spoiled it. Can't Anything Just Be Fun Anymore? Bad Panda!
Sorry, the government is paying me more to stay home than I would get working.

Yeah, was weird. Most of the Wording seemed a bit to mature... I would've believe about age 6 or so. I know there are a few really bright children out there, but these just seemed off
Load More Replies...Half of these were not made by tiny people at all. I was looking forward to a kids say the darndest things type thread and was at least half dissappointed.
This is unrelated but I can't find how to complain about the ad on this page. I hope boredpanda sees this comment and takes off this advertisement about vietnam Photos. That is possible disgusting child abuse.
I do not see the add you mention. I think the adds are tailored to the viewer. Have you been googling about veterans or Vietnam lately?
