Spending time with kids is always a blast, but they often say the most unexpected things at the most random moments.
Here are some stories where kids left everyone stunned with their jaw-dropping remarks.
I work with young children. One day, a little 6YO girl turned to another girl who was being disruptive and calmly said, “Go and see a therapist darling, you sound like you need one.” It was hilarious at the time, but also kind of sad that the girl had heard that phrase often enough to be able to parrot it during an argument.
A 7YO once told me that he was afraid to go to his parents’ room, because “Foxy lives there.” Since he’s past the ‘fear of monsters’ phase, I figured it was just his imagination going wild. But I still wanted to talk to his mom about it. Turns out the kid’s dad is a furry, and has a fox suit in the closet, and the kid had found it one day, when he went into the closet looking for a place to hide during hide and seek.
I teach two-year-olds, and was asking
the kids what their parents’ names were,
just to see if they knew. I ask a little boy,
“What’s Mommy’s name?” He says, “Mila.”
Then I ask, “What’s Daddy’s name?”
He looks confused, as if he’s trying to
figure out the answer, but can’t. So I ask,
“What does Mommy call Daddy?”
Assuming he would say ‘John, instead
he looks up at me and says, “Big Papa.”
I couldn’t help but bust out laughing.
I was babysitting a 7-year-old girl.
One day, she told me her mom’s name
isn’t her real name. That she made it up
“for work”, and it was like having a new
mommy. I tried to ask more questions,
but the girl didn’t know anything else.
Later, it turned out that her mom
actually faked EVERYTHING – her name,
identification, degree, work history.
Nobody has any idea how she did it.
She was obviously fired.
My son’s preschool teacher has told me
this one.
One day, it was story time, and all the kids
were sitting in a circle on the reading rug.
She was reading them a book about
animals, and the sounds each one makes.
An owl comes up, and none of them know
it, so she says, “It’s an owl, and it makes
the sound ‘Whooo! Whoooo.”
This is when one of the kids decided to
share, “Oh! My mom makes that noise when
Mom and Dad are having private time in
their room!”
