I was playing on the playground with my 5 year old sister. About two hours had passed and I decided to take a break. I sat down on the bench, relaxed. Then she came running and said, “Let’s play!” I came up with a genius excuse: “Oh, my love, if I get up now, other people will take my place here and I won’t be able to sit down later”. My sister stopped for a few seconds, thought of something, ran off and then came back. She asked me to get up running, while she smeared mud with her hands over the entire bench. Then she said: “Okay, now nobody else is going to sit there. Let’s play”. © Palata № 6 / VKAat the age of 9, I was alone at home for a while and I knew that I was not allowed to open the door for anyone. Well, my uncle came knocking at the door. However, as I was a suspicious child, I didn’t believe it was him, so I decided to ask a question that only my uncle would know how to answer: his birthday. “June 20th”, he replied, but the truth is, I didn’t know the exact day, so I didn’t open the door. The poor guy stayed at the entrance for an hour waiting for my parents to return. Afterwards, we laughed a lot about the situation, but the adults saw that I was a child who already knew how to get by on his own. © Overheard / VKOnce, while on vacation, I was reflecting on life and thinking that my role as a mother might be being compromised because of the excessive amount of hours I was putting in at work. Finally, I turned to my 4-year-old girl and promised her, “Mommy will be the best mom for you as soon as we get home.” She looked at me confused and blurted out: “And why can’t you start now?” © Anad Sumar / Quora

I was with my 6 year old son in line for the bathroom. As usual, there was a crowd waiting in the women’s room, and the men’s room was empty. My little one said he could go alone, but I was afraid. Finally, he turned to me and said in a serious tone, “Oh, sure, I’m going to go into the bathroom without you, throw myself on the floor and start licking the floor!” The girls around started laughing, I don’t think anyone expected that level of sarcasm coming out of such a young child. Well, he went to the bathroom alone, and when he left, I was still in line. © Jacqueline Miller / Quora We live in a small town with no big supermarkets. Yesterday, we drove to the nearest big city to do some shopping. My 3 year old son was going to the supermarket for the first time. When we passed by the aquarium with live fish, he was mesmerized. Upon learning that the little fish would be eaten later, he demanded that I save one of them. I tried to resist, but he convinced me by saying, “If I were you swimming there, I wouldn’t let anyone eat you.” Now we have a beautiful carp living in the aquarium at home. © Palata № 6 / VK

When my godson was about 3 years old, his parents went on vacation and left him in my parents’ care. He didn’t misbehave and apparently even enjoyed spending time with my mom watching her favorite soap operas. The boy could spend the whole day looking and seeing again. Then the day came when they said his mother had returned and would pick him up in the evening. Then he breathed out and exclaimed, “Ah, finally I can be with the woman I love again!” © Stephanie V / QuoraMy wife, like perhaps most women, is very concerned about housekeeping and doesn’t handle criticism on this topic well. Today my 4 year old son was playing with his flashlight and during a scavenger hunt he decided to look very close to the ground. After observing every corner, he said aloud: “Mom, I found a dust!” At that time, my wife was not so upset. However, after about 10 seconds, he added: “Oh no, there’s all over the floor!” © Pasa256 / PikabuThis happened a few years ago. At the time, my niece was only 4 years old, but she was very observant and understood things very quickly. One time, we were watching something online, and the video would freeze all the time. We explained to her that this was called data buffering. So that night, while we were having dinner at the table, my niece started farting in front of everyone. Finally, the mother told her to go to the bathroom, to which the girl replied: “Mom, this is buffering, I’ll be there in a little while”. © Divya Batra / Quora

My grandmother worked as a teacher for 46 years. When I was little, I used to sit at the table, open some notebooks, chosen at random, and add extra commas to the students’ work. Nobody ever noticed. © Overheard / VK My mother told me. At school, students had to take a fish to clean it in Biology class. Several of them ended up getting slightly injured when handling the bones. So my mom came up with a genius solution to the problem: on the way home from school, there was an anthill in the middle of the road. So she put the little fish given by her father right on top of it. The next morning, she just collected the skeleton cleaned by ants and ideal for class. I don’t know if she came up with this idea on her own or if someone advised her, but it was genius, it was. © Neznayka007 / PikabuNot long ago, I was walking with my 5-year-old daughter and we decided to stop by a sweet shop. She was already tired, so I wanted to cheer her up. At the entrance to the store, she said: “Honey, choose what you want, I’ll buy you what you want!” My daughter looked at me in disbelief and blurted out: “I don’t want anything, Daddy! You know I love you anyway, I don’t need candy!” The saleswoman smiled, some customers thought it was cute, and I just burst into tears. It was the first time I cried in front of strangers. I gave her a hug and told her I loved her so much, then she replied, “I love you too! But you’re still going to buy me the Jell-O crocodiles, aren’t you?” © Palata № 6 / VK

My 3 year old son was playing in the car the other day and was checking everything carefully: brakes, headlights, seat belts and so on. I decided to join in the fun and asked if he needed glasses before he left for his big trip. He looked at me for a few seconds and replied: “No thanks, I have eyes”. © Matthieu Toussaint / QuoraI picked up my 3-year-old daughter from kindergarten. We got on the bus, but there were no vacant seats. As always: several men sitting, and the women standing. After a while, a seat became vacant, but then a lady in her 80s walked in and we decided to offer her our seat. At that point, one of the men must have been embarrassed and got up too. However, my proud daughter looked at him and said: “You lifted your butt too late, young man”. And the two of us walked from one corner of the city to the other. © Palata № 6 / VKI went to visit a friend for the weekend. He lives in a house in the countryside, and at night mosquitoes attacked. Pills and sprays were of no use. The mosquito nets even helped, but it was insufficient. The next day, we all woke up with countless bites all over our bodies, except for my friend’s 6-year-old son. I asked him what he did to avoid the bites, and the answer was: “Oh, very easy, we have an old fan at home, so I always turn it on at full blast at night and direct it towards my bed. Mosquitoes don’t have time to bite me.” © Alekseushka1991 / Pikabu
