Funny things kids say (part 7)

Kids say the funniest things - often unintentionally - so with that in mind it's time for another collection of funny things kids say. As usual the following quotes are taken from facebook, twitter and real life...

"How did I get in here?"

1) Smart kid

Parents should always encourage their children, but here's an example where that encouragement didn't go exactly to plan...

Parent: "If you put your mind to it, you can achieve anything you want to."
6 year old: *thinks for a minute* "Well I couldn’t get inside a milk bottle!"
Parent: "Okay. Everything but that."

He's got a point!

2) No filter

This was a comment by a facebook friend's six year old daughter:

"Mommy, how come you only look pretty on the weekends or holidays?"

Well, at least weekends and holidays is better than nothing!

3) Kid logic

When you interpret the question not quite the way the teacher intended...

"Eight is all curly, six is not."

To be fair, six is quite curly as well, but I see what they mean!

4) Mom says...

I'm not entirely convinced that this next kid is telling the truth...

4 year old: "Mom said I can eat all the M&Ms."
Dad: "That doesn’t sound like her."
4 year old: "She also said you shouldn’t ask her to double check."

Separated at birth?
The Gruffalo and Kurt Cobain.

5) Drop me off at Grandpa Joe's

This next comment was posted by a facebook friend who likes Nirvana, but apparently her son isn't a fan.

"Jamie talking about Kurt Cobain, 'That man's got a funny voice, mummy. He sounds like the Gruffalo!'"

Coincidentally, 'Come As You Are' came on when I was writing this and I can totally see what he meant!

6) Breathe in...

Here's a truthful boast from a kid with a sneaky kind of logic...

"I can hold my breathe for 5 minutes ... just not all at once."

That's nothing. I can hold my breath for twenty minutes!*

* Just not all at once.

7) Thinking literally

Here's an example of a clever kid taking things literally...

"Show your thinking."

Bonus point for artistic interpretation!

If this kid had have been a few years older they would probably have got in trouble from the teacher for being sarcastic. However, judging by the handwriting, I suspect they're at an age where they naively answered the question honestly.

8) A sympathetic kid

This next comment is from a very sympathetic kid...

"Mom, I feel sorry for the people who had to figure out something wasn't edible."

They've got a point. Somebody had to be the first to try each food.

9) Always remember...

Remember to leave this tropical paradise behind
and return to your regular life and nine to five job.

Next up is a kid with a very important piece of advice...

"When you go on vacation, it's important to remember to come home."

Personally I love holidays, so if I forgot to come home it wouldn't be the end of the world!

10) Stuck on repeat

Finally, this last comment isn't a funny thing said by a kid, but it is true advice from a parent for anyone considering having a kid...

"Before having a baby the most important thing to ask yourself is, 'Am I ready to watch the exact same cartoon on repeat every day for the next four years?"
