NYC School Teacher Shares Epic Quotes From Little Kids And They’re Wholesome And Hilarious (40 New Pics)
Interview With Author
Children are the future, but they often don’t get enough credit for how bright they are. They’re always listening and observing, and their little brains are soaking up information like sponges. But another thing about kids is that they’re basically tiny little comedians.
And if you’re in the mood to read some hilarious quotes from clever kiddos, you’ve come to the right place, pandas. We took a trip to the Live From Snack Time! Instagram and gathered some of their best posts down below. Enjoy scrolling through and being astounded by these little comedic geniuses, and keep reading to find a conversation with Alyssa Cowit, the creator of Live From Snack Time!

Poor Henry is going to spend his life asking a lot of existential questions
_-DungeonKeeper-_ 1 year ago
Because people like blobby tax liabilities, Henry. (This is my opinion. See? You don't have to agree with it.)
Live From Snack Time is one of the most wholesome corners of the internet. It was created by NYC school teacher Alyssa Cowit, who was inspired by all of the brilliant things that her kindergarteners would say on the daily. She partnered up with her friend and fellow Ithaca College alum Greg Dunbar, and together, they’ve created a page that boasts over 706K followers on Instagram.
Today, Live From Snack Time has shared over 2,300 quotes, and it’s a precious reminder of how brilliant and incredible the younger generations are. You can even buy merch featuring some of the best quotes from LFST or purchase a book that can be an excellent conversation starter on your coffee table.

It’s a weird phenomenon with loving relationships, whether romantic or familial or even platonic. There’s always that foundation of love that doesn’t go away, but right this minute you hate their guts. Your differences will resolve and you’ll love them again, of course, but the possibility that you will have moments in the future where you hate their guts again still exist. We humans are a flighty and changeable bunch, and flit from love to hate and back to love all the damned time. F*****g exhausting to keep up with, aren’t we?
We’re big fans of Live From Snack Time here at Bored Panda, so it’s not the first time we’ve covered the wholesome page. And lucky for us, we were able to get in touch with Alyssa to find out how she's been since we last spoke with her about 2 years ago.
"We have gained many new followers and have been trying out some video content! We have been getting a lot of good feedback and will continue to try new and improved templates," she shared.
"Our new projects have been a bit personal! Myself and my business partner Greg have become parents this year! So our lives have completely changed for the better," the creator said. "It's a bit ironic that we both have welcomed kids this year, but we are now thinking about how our new identities as parents can help compliment the brand!"

We were also curious to know if Alyssa has noticed any trends in topics kids tend to get quoted talking about. "It's incredibly that kids have the same questions and interests around the world," she shared. "From the start, we got feedback about Live From Snack Time being so relatable, but I think it's becoming more unifying than ever. There are some awful things happening in this world, but kids are so similar across continents."
Finally, the creator noted that they have a very exciting project in the works. So keep your eyes peeled in the new year, pandas!

If everyone respected each others' tireds, the world would be a better place.
We were also able to get in touch with Alyssa for a previous Bored Panda piece, where she shared more about the impact that LFST has had on her life.
“Live From Snack Time has very much changed my day to day life,” she shared. “As a teacher, I speak to kids all day long. I love collaborating with my teaching team, but there is usually only a short time for that. LFST allows me to speak with adults, consult the community, hear from people all over the world, share recommendations, and insight from followers and professionals outside of the education field.”

“It's been pretty fascinating,” Alyssa continued. “We often pose questions to our community like, ‘What is your biggest parenting failure?’ or ‘Which baby products do you secretly love for yourself?’ and it's interesting to hear how similar and relatable the answers are.”
“We are so much alike, adults from all over the globe have made the same hilarious parenting mistakes,” she noted. “I hope LFST continues to bring us together in funny ways.”

Brown Friday will now replace that awful, awful, horribly awful black Friday tradition.
BrownEyedPanda 1 year ago
Yup, that sounds about right. Now if only people wouldn't waste their Poop Day at a Black Friday event......
Tabitha 1 year ago (edited)
So Black Friday would become Brown Friday. At least everyone could sleep in instead of stay up all night standing in line at ____ store (take your pick), no one would get hurt fighting over the last whatever is the most popular gift this year, and most of all, the store employees would ALSO get Thanksgiving AND Brown Friday OFF!! Win-win-win!

We were also curious about what Alyssa loves most about running Live From Snack Time. “I think the best part of LFST is that it proves that kids say the things we as adults wish we could,” she shared. “It's unfiltered hilarious gold (most of the time). A 6-year-old kid said recently, ‘I cry on sad days, I cry on bad days, and I cry on regular days.’ It is just so real and clearly something they were reflecting on. I hope the adult nearby said, ‘Yes! And that is totally okay!’”

Food is love! When my husband & I first met (17 years ago!) I had a family dinner so everyone could meet him. There were probably 12 people. Scott kept looking over at me and smiling. I asked him later why? He said he loved seeing me in my element, that cooking for and visiting with my family obviously made me very happy. One of the nicest things anyone's ever said to me. (And it is so true! So much food, so much laughter. It was the first of many dinners we hosted).

Alyssa believes we should all be amplifying children’s voices. “It's so incredibly important to listen to children and be explicit, even/especially if it's something so abstract, like emotions,” she told Bored Panda. “It is our job to help them process and grow. When kids have these big reactions, we often assume they are seeking attention. But most often they are curious or seriously confused. Even if they are seeking attention, why are they needing it? That's also important!”

Get a job at a peanut butter factory. You'll get the smell and it'll give you money instead of spending it.

The problem there is after awhile, you hate the smell. Years ago, the Cadbury factory would let you eat all you wanted. Thought " surely they will lose money". Guess what, it is possible to have your fill of chocolate.

The creator shared that Live From Snack Time has even changed the way she views the world, as well as social media. “While it could bring out the ugly in people, we feel LFST brings humor, and connection to our community,” Alyssa says. “We find that our followers have responded so well to our content because we were all once kids, have kids, or teach kids. It's a way to unify us and yeah in ways, inspire or remind us of that childlike wonder.”
And if you’re a teacher, parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle or friend to children, you might have some perfect content to share with Live From Snack Time too! “Please continue to submit quotes to LiveFromSnackTime.com,” Alyssa says. “The account is run on 90% of submissions, so we need that. We have big dreams of a podcast/live show... So stay tuned, and thanks for following along!”

True. The secret of successful restaurants isn't deliciousness, but consistency. You are something like 70% more likely to experience intestinal distress at a Michelin starred restaurant than at McDonald's, and McDonald's sees more customers in a day than all Michelin starred restaurants do annually.

Lol! Reminds me of a cousin who said something similar when he was a preteen. He was doing poorly at school but was spoilt rotten at home with anything he asked for because the parents have high end jobs. So he decided that he didn’t want to take the graduating high school exams but just wants to stay at home with his parents and do bird watching (or some similar nature related thing). Now he’s in high school and I think he’s doing much better. Looks like he’ll probably graduate.

And when they're 6 you melt and give them a big hug. When they're 26 and say this you start to panic.
Tristan J 1 year ago
There is a difference between having no aspirations and having the aspiration to dedicate as much time as possible to a loving family. The idea that this is a bad thing and the child must be spoilt or lazy is absurd, and betrays both societal pressure to relentlessly work at the expense of living, and the relative lack of love the people criticising it must have experienced.

When my youngest was 4 somebody gave us Easter cookies in the shape of crosses, eggs, and bunnies. I am not Christian, and didn't think she would have the notion of what a cross was (as why would she). But she named it as a cross, and I was surprised so I asked her "do you know what a cross is?". She said: "Yes, it's a wooden thing that you put people on". And to this day it's the funniest and most accurate thing I've ever heard.

These were entertaining, but it's hard to believe some of these came from 3 and 4 year-olds. I suspect they were more or less interpreted by the parents who understood what they were trying to say, perhaps.
