Kids’ logic is a thing of envy. The way they think isn’t bound to some particular reality or concept of reasoning that dictates the rules for the conclusions they have to reach. It’s beautiful because they have unrestricted freedom to be as silly and as adorable as they want without sweating or even understanding it.

Twitter user @sumerianbby shared a story of how she, being a mere 6-year-old, misunderstood the notion of an expiration date on her father’s ID and started crying—she thought it was a particular time for when dad was going to pass away. Kids.

Soon a slew of people joined the conversation, sharing their own stories of how they confused simple concepts and reinterpreted them the way their x-year-old kiddy selves could—using adorable kids’ logic.

I can tell you as an ex-911 dispatcher, We normally really hate taking non-emergency calls on the 911 line. I’m gonna tell you straight up you totally made a dispatcher’s day! Intentional or not, nice work!!

When I was in kindergarten my Grandma took me to Tampa, it was my first time on an airplane so of course I was glued to the window the entire time. At some point we were above this huge cloud bank and I asked my Grandma "where's God"? Lol I thought that heaven was above the clouds in the sky. I'll never forget that.

    There is a movie "Boyhood" which was filmed for like 12 years or so, cause creators didn't want to change actors across time frames so they were aging through the movie making.

    I grew up in the early 80s so we had the old style TV. When we had the static on the screen my Dad called the static "Bionic Ants". I genuinely believed that that was what it was called. Fast forward a few years and I am 16 and in school where our History teacher is setting up the school's ancient TV so we can watch a video. The TV only works when it wants to or you thump it so our teacher is having problems with it. He asked us to tell him when a picture comes on the screen as you had to fix the picture first and then the sound as he was trying to fix the wires around the back of the TV. When he asked if we could see a picture I said no, just bionic ants". He looked at me with a surprised expression and asked me what said and then I repeated myself. He burst out laughing and said " well I never heard static called that before." I told him that was what we always called it in my house as that was what my dad called it. I genuinely that was the name of static until that day.

    Never dump your kid & run. No matter how much they cry or fight, just hug them, look happy & tell them bye. It just makes them insecure any time you are out of their sight if you keep doing that. My step-sister used to stand by the bathroom door waiting for her mom at 8-9 years old because she did that consistently. Don't try to comfort them beyond the hug & bye or else they'll think it is something to be really upset about.

    Sounds like your mom was too much of a coward/too lazy to explain how this unbelievably different routine to your day was unfortunate but necessary, and that you'll be just fine and she will be coming back to get you. You know, so you're not left traumatized or anything.

    Is that allowed??? That sounds horrible and cruel. Here you have a couple weeks period in which you slowly get the child used to staying in daycare. First days it‘s just for an hour or so with the parent present and then you can leave for a little while and so on.

    Pfffff, I got you both beat. I was 25 and my wife was pregnant with our daughter. I was so tired one night but we were talking about all the things we needed to get done before the baby came and what the first few days would be like. I asked my wife if we should get the baby circumcised. My wife told me to go to bed lol.

    You don't ruin your eyesight by reading in the dark, that's some stupid old thing to say for our great-grandparent to prevent children from doing exactly that.

    I was a year younger than my classmates, still sucked my thumb and forefinger in 1st grade. A girl had scraped her knee and was letting kids touch the scab. After I did, she said her mom had painted it with something poison (iodine?). I so totally freaked out cause I could no longer suck my thumb & finger that they had to call my mom to come get me. It broke my bad habit; my finger is still twisted from how I used to fit it in my mouth, so thanks, Cathy, or it would have been worse.

    Banks can actually do that

    Yes it happens when you don't take your card after a set period of time so it doesn't get stolen. Here's a secret that the bank won't tell you. The card is stored in a lost card bin inside the ATM. No damage is done to the card. However, per policy most banks will cut up the card once they retrieve it and will tell the customer that the machine automatically shreds it. The ATM doesn't shred anything. But it's easier to just shred the card and print a new one than close down the whole ATM to retrieve a single card. Opening and ATM requires at least two people and that's only if the bank actually services its own ATMs. Sometimes that function is outsourced to security companies.

    An ATM ate my card once, too. I went straight to the bank to let them know, and arrived just seconds before a good Samaritan came in with my card, which the ATM had spat out when she tried to use it! Whew.

    Isn't it awful that children even worry about things like this?

    I arrived at an ATM one day just in time to see the previous user's card being sucked into the machine after it was forgotten. It does that if it's left in place for a period of time so that someone can't take the card and mess with it.

    until around last year, my kids thought they controlled the back wiper on our car with their voices. if it started raining while we were driving somewhere they'd say "back wiper, wipe one time" and it would! "back wiper, wipe 2 times", and it would! it wasn't until pretty recently that they figured out the wiping mechanism is right at my fingertips, LOL. the way they figured it out was one would say it and turn their heads to make sure it happened, while the other would stare at my hands to see if i did something to trigger the wiper. :-D

    When my son is with me I pretend to close my eyes and tell him he has to tell me which way to go while driving. Totally freaks him out. Truth is I only close my right eye (the one he can see) he doesnt realize my left eye is still open :) He learned the difference between right and left real quick

    My son got in trouble for eating a granola bar on the school bus. There was a sign at the front of the bus with an ice cream cone with a line through it (meaning no eating), he thought you just were not allowed to eat ice cream on the bus

    My favorite aunt told us she had a magic fridge and had us doing incantations to make the door open. Turns out it had a foot pedal opener that it took us years to see. Good old Aunt Ginny- we all loved her

    My grandfather was an engineer at a factory when I was little. But I thought engineer meant he drove a train. :) Frankly, driving a train is a way cooler job. It was a let down when I found out.

    For real, it's actually a higher chance to go for a coffee with a person who says "I don't want to see you for the rest of my life" than with somebody who says "we should hang out sometime". This "sometime" never comes.

    When I moved to the UK, people would say "See you later" all the time. It confused me. In my language, see you later means a fixed date in the near future, mostly the very same day, just later. It took me a while to find out it's just a figure of speech.

    I somehow thought Braunschweiger was called smorgasbord. I called it that all through my childhood. I still sometimes forget what it is really called and I am in my 50's. I have confused more than one person when I am hungry for smorgasbord.

    ?? What on earth is Braunschweiger?! I've been to Braunschweig and have eaten nothing memorable... But Smörgåsbord is a legitimate and extended (Swedish) breakfast, so no confusion if you are hungry for that.

    My daughter didn’t like steak or green onions so I called them beef and flavor buds. As an adult she told me the steak was bad every time I cooked it, so one down.

    My dad called over easy eggs “dunkin eggs” (cause you dunk your toast in them) we all thought that was the name of them until I was a grown adult and tried to order dunkin eggs at a restaurant .. the waitress stared at me like I was an idiot so I asked for scrambled .. for ten years I only ever ordered scrambled cause I didn’t know what to call them .. I had heard the words sunny side up or over easy but didn’t know what that meant .. I can’t remember how I finally figured it out and could order the eggs I wanted but frig that still haunts me

    But "dunking eggs" sounds exactly like what it is. More descriptive than over easy.
