Mom Shares 29 Hilarious Things Her 6 Y.O. Says To Stall Her From Leaving His Room At Bedtime
Every parent knows that kids can be truly weird sometimes. And despite their delicate age, some children are surprisingly aware of sneaky manipulation tactics. The combination of two can lead to a bit of a headache for the parent, but more often than not it results in a hearty laugh. As in the case of Kate Bowler, who recently shares a hilarious Twitter thread with her followers where she detailed a series of dialogues she and her 6-year-old had.
Turns out, her son Zach has a habit of uttering pretty interesting things in order to stall his mommy's leaving during bedtime. After a while, Bowler decided to write down what he says and share it with her audience on social media. Unsurprisingly, the hilarious things her little one says quickly garnered attention and received thousands of likes and comments. So scroll down below and check out Zach's brilliantly humorous ideas. Oh, and don't forget to comment and vote for your favorites!

Actually, I did that once, age 5. I just had a feeling that my parents might not appreciate caterpillars as pets, so I put them into a shoe box, made nice big holes for air, and hid it under my bed. Woke up screaming with bugs all over me. Decided not to be a naturalist like Dr. Doolittle. (1950's--the book!)

i got over my fear of Lightening when my daughter showed her fear of a storm, We sat out under the porch and watched the rain and the storm, and I taught her how to count for the thunder. She told me after, 'I'm glad I stopped you being frightened of getting hit with thunder mum, can we do this again tomorrow night.'

Kids should not have to sleep in a cold, dark room alone... it's really not natural! Other countries and cultures let children sleep with their parents. I did, and did it for too long, but better than leaving a kid by themselves when they really want natural and normal companionship. Seems like we raise our children to work and make money or go to war. There's other ways to live.

Why do I get the suspicion that he brought in a raccoon and hid it

I am hilariously confused right now. I am under the impression that he thinks God is a wolf.

You know what, I think this little guy is on the right track, because if we saw every international border as the result of civil war then maybe it would be easier to realize and acknowledge that we are all humans and that we are all in this boat together. In the long run, we had better learn to cooperate much better than we are at the present time. All our children and their descendants have every right to be very angry with the previous couple of generations because we have messed up their future.

This kid is going to be an atheist before he's 10. He's too logical and wants facts.

Lynda Momalo, if you have ever been around a 6 year old, nothing they say makes sense, and it rubs off on you, too, so sometimes, you don't have proper grammar coming out of your mouth. If you don't have something nice to say, don't say it. Most kids can follow this better. You're an adult, right? Most adults know this.

My nephew was like this. He had a thousand genius ways to avoid sleep.

Get that kid reading everything. His brain is like a little sponge right now. If you get him interested, he could do anything...except sleep apparently.

Sounds like my son when he was... oh wait, never mind. (He’s currently 24.)

My son (also 6) started doing this every night with a sip of water right after his tuck in, hug and kiss. After a couple weeks (I also have a 2 year old daughter) of the pre-tuck ins (bath, teeth brushing, etc.) I would say, (Ok, if you want a sip of water, get one now." He is just starting with these. Tonight's was, "Mom, are we ever going to have to stop paying bills?" Me, at the door, ready to switch of light: "No, son, it's just a part of life ." Him:"Are we ever going to have A LOT of money?" Me: "Maybe." Him: "Will you buy me something awesome then?" Me:"Sure. Think of what you would like before you fall asleep." They are getting pretty deep. For a six year old.

Nothing cuter. When my daughter was that age or younger she wasn't feeling well one day and said she felt like a rag dish.

Definitely a smart cookie but you might want to have him practice meditation at bedtime as he gets older. Also, get him a journal. He's going places!

This kid is adorable! Although granted, when mine pulled this stuff at bedtime, it wasn't as funny. :)
