Ha!! Knew a labor & delivery nurse who had great baby name tales, as in Justin Time.
In a previous interview with Bored Panda, child psychologists Dr. Annie McNeill, Dr. Sophie Pierce, and Dr. Stephanie Nova Fields answered why kids often blurt out such funny and out-of-pocket things that this list is full of.
Fields explained that the gap between 3 and 6 years old is the prime time for kids to say funny things, mostly unintentionally.

As the saying goes, you're usually your own toughest critic .... this poor kid has it both coming and going!
“At these ages, they are learning about the world and about language at a rapid pace,” she said. “Their minds work hard to make sense of the world and to put things together. Their funny comments come about when they don’t get it quite right."

Well I hope it's a girl dog otherwise they will not be anywhere near milk
The comic element in their sentences also comes from the fact that they are at the stage of thinking where they take things at face value and don’t yet understand the underlying subtleties we adults employ in our speech or behaviors. “This can also make for some funny comments and behaviors,” Fields adds.
Meanwhile, Dr. McNeill and Dr. Pierce assign funny things that children say to their lack of filter. “If they have a thought, you can bet they’re going to say it out loud. Part of what makes statements so funny and unexpected from children, unlike adults, is that they haven’t yet developed impulse control or the skills to filter their thoughts! Also, more than anything else, children want to make their adults happy, and they sometimes do this through funny behaviors or sayings so they can feel delighted.”
However, children aren’t usually aware that what they’re saying is funny, that is, until someone, e.g., parents, reacts to it by laughing, Dr. McNeill and Dr. Pierce say. “Children are always looking to others to make sense of who they are and the world around them. They pay attention to reactions and can feel the types of responses they are eliciting from others.”

Reminds me of the joke: Doctor is looking at an X-Ray and says, "yep, this is exactly what I was afraid of". The man is scared and asks "what is it doc?" The doctor replies "skeletons"
“So, while they may not always know that their responses are funny per se, they can certainly feel and enjoy the reactions they are getting!” Dr. McNeill and Dr. Pierce said. “Children who enjoy this type of attention will continue to engage in behaviors that get the same reaction or laugh from those around them.”

My two year old visited dad at work and she met the first black man who was from Jamaica (we live in a very Wonderbread-type city). She asked her dad how the chocolate man doesn't melt in the sun. The man laughed and laughed thankfully!
Interestingly enough, kids' funny talks aren’t only entertaining to others but also have developmental benefits, Dr. McNeill and Dr. Pierce said. “A crucial part of building a child’s self-esteem and sense of self is having others, especially adults, find joy in them. When children get positive attention from adults, such as laughter, it communicates to the child that they have a positive impact and that others enjoy who they are.”

This reminds me of when my 3 year old, upon learning that we sometimes call Thanksgiving "turkey day" kept--repeatedly--referring to it as chickenpox day. "Is it chickenpox day yet, mommy!??"
Additionally, saying something funny allows kids to find their voice, learn how to express themselves, and connect to others. Their comments also give us an inside look into how children work to understand the world around them, says Fields. “I find it to be both charming and interesting. It is one of the things that makes this age so much fun for adults.”

The day we brought our son home from the hospital his 2year old sister took one look at him with an evil look on her face and yelled "I don't want IT... take IT back"

My friend's kid once asked her how would he know if a person was a stranger if they cut off her skin and wore it - so they looked like her. That's what they get for letting him watch inappropriate movies too young!

Why were you only going 68 in a 65. Speed limits are more of a suggestion than the rule. On a 65 you need to do at least 75 just to keep up with traffic (90 in California).

Before my sister was born I used to tell my mom she should really try eating some toys so the baby wouldn't get bored in there

Reminds me of when my 3yo took kool-aid in the living room after I told her not to and proceeded to spill red kool-aid on white carpet and I was mad at her. She said, "I'm cool. I'm cool like chewbacca."

My son (also 3) is like this. He'll have a fabulous, wild day at kindergarten, nothing of note to report, and then three days later we'll find out that he fell off something, or someone pushed him over. He's easily distracted in the moment and only thinks about the repercussions much later!

You don't keep peeing after you die, do you? Where's the fun in that?

Into a weird part in your brain, so that sometime in the distant future you can hear a song and be transported back to a very specific time/place/feeling? My guess anyway.

We do call cauliflower "white broccoli" because the kids already know they like broccoli and, really, how different is it?

Haha, I make a Persian dish called aash reshteh sometimes which features noodles, beans/chickpeas and a whole lot of herbs. The kids love it but it is known in the house as "that dinner that looks like muck but tastes amazing".

My daughter is a natural dancer - she has such rhythm and body isolations, it's nuts. (I used to dance, and my friend who still does noticed that she was a natural.) When I gently suggested she might like to try lessons she said "I don't want anyone telling me how to move my body - I just want to do what I feel the music make me do!"
