You've heard it once if you've heard it a thousand times before: kids say the darndest things. We've always loved the frank, honest and unadulterated way that little humans choose to express themselves - they see things from a different perspective to us grownups whose thoughts have been shaped and molded by the world around us.

NYC school teacher Alyssa Cowit was so fascinated by the questions and comments from her Kindergarteners that she decided to start an Instagram account, called Live from Snack Time, to chronicle them. According to their bio, Alyssa "believes children are honest and curious, and while often perplexed, they’re brilliant – and that it’s a teacher’s job to take what children say seriously."

She wants to help adults to understand that children are not always acting outrageously to seek attention, but instead thinking out loud, soaking up new information, and solving problems 24/7.

Since starting the page in 2015 together with Greg Dunbar, a digital marketing manager with Walt Disney Studios, they have since grown to almost 100K followers, and even have a book! It's called 'I Did My Homework in My Head: (And Other Wacky Things Kids Say)' and is full of "Irresistible quotes from the elementary school classroom that prove kids really do say the darndest things--and even more so when their parents aren't around!"

What do you think? What's the funniest, truest or most profound thing you've ever heard a child say? Scroll down to check out our faves from the page for yourself, and let us know what you think in the comments!

Perfect! Now that 6 year olds get it, let's see if we can get all the 'adults' to understand

Hats off to mum and dad for this one as kids of this age usually get their opinions from the people raising them.

This six-year-old is a nicer person than the majority of the united states government.

This six-year-old has more sense than many of the adults I know.

to Elisavet Palazzolo: 1. i think that we are related because my family changed their names when they came to America 2. being gay isnt just about being part of the LGBTQ family, its about living their truth. some many people criticize, and some hide what gender they like, and so when you see someone like that, just admire them because they are living their truth.

i don't want to be a d**k but next time, before you use that word again, plz think of my gfs challenged 9yr old daughter who has been labeled with this word & how hurtful it can be when used as an insult. there are so many other beautifully mean & descriptive words in our language - douchebags, shitbirds, rotted, gutted gila monsters - you can be more creative!! I know you can!! :D

No 6 year old would say something like this. Not, unless their parents already told them exact same phrase.

How does it feel to know that a 6 year old child is more enlightened than you?
