Kids are known to say things honestly and without filters. Maybe because you don’t expect them to say certain things, when they say it, the only reaction left is laughter. Kids sometimes come up with such hilarious things to say that parents often go to Twitter so that the whole internet can laugh together.

One of those parents is Jessica Valenti, who shared how her 3-year-old daughter got sick after eating carrots but her reaction was that she would need even more carrots, which you could understand metaphorically and take inspiration to not give up when things get difficult.

In response to Jessica's tweet, many people started sharing some genius things their children have said, so here is a list of the best ones. If you have anything to share, put it in the comments and upvote the tweets that made you laugh the most.

Reminds me of my youngest son. When he got home from grade school one day in the 1970's said, "I'm hungry as an Ethiopian". I knew he had indeed learned something that day.

Jessica Valenti is an American feminist writer and a columnist for Medium. She has almost 300k followers on Twitter and usually her tweets get several hundred likes, but recently, her tweet about her daughter’s hilarious reaction to getting sick from carrots was liked over 100k times.

Then she added her second favorite thing her daughter ever told her and it was her saying that Jessica was wearing clown pants, though she herself thought that they were very fashionable. Apparently, Layla, her daughter, thought they looked like pajamas.

    Children that speak their minds without thinking about how their words could affect someone can make parents feel uncomfortable, especially if they say something rude or inappropriate in front of other people, but it can lead to funny situations that later are worth telling over and over again.

    Also, they see the world in a more simple way, so they come up with some creative solutions to problems. Maybe they’re not realistic, but they are creative. Bored Panda has done plenty of articles about children surprising adults with how they think. For example, a teacher from the UK, George Pointon, asks his first graders various questions and he puts them up on Twitter with his own commentary. 

    The internet loves these tweets and if you would like to see what that is all about, you can find the answers the children gave to the teacher asking what they would do if they became the president of the world, or what they think is the one thing that makes a person an adult. The tweet that received the most love is the one in which the teacher asked his students to tell him their best jokes, which is also worth a little look.

    One of my nieces (3yo) ask her mum for months to "make her a real baby, a bold one" but for when she will have boobs to feed it. My sister in law got pregnant and told the kids recently. The little one shout out of hapiness "wow, really you are making me a real baby with no hair?!!!But i don't have tities yet!Doesn't matter you can feed it for me". I bet that she will resigned for motherhood very soon. The clever one (5yo)with many heart surgery since baby just ran into her room to get her stethoscope to hear the baby's heart.

Traffic got a little better, and I calmed down. All of a sudden I hear "mommy? What's a 'd**k munch' mean?" I said "it was a bad thing to say, and I shouldn't have said it."

    Judging from these tweets, it seems that the children didn’t mean what they were saying to be funny, but having a sense of humor is a part of healthy development. It gets more sophisticated the older they get and having a sense of humor helps kids emotionally and socially.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Humor is a concept that is difficult to define and it’s even more difficult to pinpoint what it is that makes us laugh. There are many theories to this, but one of them that is often discussed is the incongruity theory, which “suggests that we find fundamentally incompatible concepts or unexpected resolutions funny. Basically, we find humor in the incongruity between our expectations and reality.”

    So enjoy this list of children saying unexpected things and possibly things that are so different from the reality we see that they give us a little chuckle.

    Having just read The Little Princess, Whenever my sister was a demanding d**k, I would bow deeply to her and say, "Yes, Missy Sahib" and she would LOSE IT. It's the little things that matter.

    I loved The Little Princess so much that when I was in my fifties I found it and The Secret Garden in the editions I loved most (with Tasha Tudor’s illustrations) and bought the pair for $50...this was probably 25 years ago when that was a whole lot more money than it sounds like now.

    If you call your mother a queen, it is just a twisted way to call yourself a princess.

    Nope, jesus is a lich king. Zombies don't do magic. Vampires don't do daylight. Necromancer cannot revive himself. But a lich is dead and revived powerful wizard.. SO Jesus is basically a lich king, as he supposedly is the most potent of them all.

    My sister is a really overindulgent/entitling parent - to the point where my 4 y/o niece actually thought she was a princess. Until she stayed the weekend at my house. When I asked her to pick up her toys she literally told me, that as a princess, that wasn't her job. I informed her that her royal title ended at my front door and she'd better get her little butt busy. She threw a screaming fit for about an hour. She's 18 now and even worse.

    I'd been coloring my hair a deep auburn forever, but after my divorce in 2004 I wanted a change and my daughters says "Well, what color IS your REAL hair?" Good question. I let it grow out to embarrassing roots & then cut it super short (like Jamie Leigh Curtis short). Turns out I have these gorgeous pure platinum streaks. I've kept it short ever since & get compliments on it all the time.

We were in the bath together (is this still a thing or just what parents did to their kids in the 70s-80s) and he took a s**t then told me he was "magic" and made us candy. I ran so quick to find Mom lol. That's one of my earliest memories. That and him telling me the deer outside in the yard were dogs and barking at them. Needless to say I will NEVER let him live any of that down (we're both 40ish now)

    Ah. The culinary critic. I had one of those, too. He stands on the chair and leans over the table, looking thru the clear lid into the pot that I had just put there for dinner. He turns to look at me, then looks in the pot again. Then back at me and says "You know Mom, unless them black things are raisins, I'm not going to eat that." It was black beans and rice. I said, deadpan, with a shrug. "Then I guess you are going to be hungry." He ate it, but I have never let hm forget it. And, yesterday? Well, I make lunch for my husband and for that son. They both work at the same place. Lunch was a turkey sandwich. I didn't put a packet of mustard in his lunch, so he made sure to "remind me" that I had forgotten and failed him. He's now 28. And he doesn't live at home anymore. Some days, I'd like to squirt mustard in his hair. Just sayin'.

    I found a t-shirt at a secondhand store that had that saying on it.

    My wife and I just had a flashback to the time when we had out 4 YO granddaughter in the car and Granny found her hat on the front seat and put it on. Voice from back seat: "That's *my* hat." Granny: "Do I look good in it?" VFBS: "No, you look stupid."

    Just have to ask; who calls them "dungarees" anymore? Was that 70 years ago?

    Maybe you are taking it the wrong way? Maybe the kid adores grandma, and was trying to give a compliment.

    Ugh! I had a new outfit that I thought was pretty & I felt really good in. When I got to the office, my receptionist laughed and told me her GRANDMOTHER had the same one. I'm sure some nice old lady found it at the Goodwill & appreciated the tremendous savings.

    reminds me of when we were stopped at traffic lights and my 5 year old read the billboard on the church on the opposite side of the intersection. It read in huge letters "JESUS SAVES" My son promptly asked "WHICH BANK?" The catch phrase of an annoyingly frequent ad on TV at the time.

    It was during the Clinton/Bush Presidential race. My 3 year old had seen a bunch of Clinton ads on TV showing the Bush speech in which he said, “Read my lips…no new taxes…” She was standing at the top of the stairs eating Doritos when I came home from work one day and said, “Hey Daddy…Read my Chips!” followed by her hysterical laugh. I knew she’d never take life too seriously after that….

    My nephew was in first grade and apparently, one of the kids in his class got stung by a bee. The whole class was talking about it. When my nephew came home, he was asking his parents questions; did the bee sting hurt? His parents answered affirmatively. My nephew got frustrated and putting his hands on his hips, stated, "Well I don't know why any bee would want to sting me! I don't even like honey!"
