17+ Pearls from children who were born to amaze with their wit

Children are great masters of eloquence, capable of giving ideas and releasing unforgettable phrases. As they get to know the world around them, they enrich their vocabulary. Interestingly, there are little ones who love to invent words, or distort, in a funny way, the ones that already exist. For us, this is not a sign of a primitive mind, but an open mind, because sometimes even the smartest adults are no match for children when it comes to expressing themselves in an innovative way.

The team of awesome.club never tires of proving that conversations with our little ones are an inexhaustible source of wit, fertile imagination and logical conclusions that only they can understand.

One of our colleagues had to take her four-year-old daughter to work. When the office phone rang, the girl answered it, listened, replied, “He hasn’t arrived yet,” and hung up.

In the pool, I found a five-year-old boy with his grandmother. He would climb on their shoulders and jump into the water.

Say the first number!”, she insisted. “Six,” said the woman. “And the second one?”, even more insistent. “Three,” her grandmother replied. However, the boy didn’t stop there and asked him, intrigued: “And the third one?” © Elena Akodus / FacebookMy friend has a four-year-old nephew.

When my son got sick, he needed a suppository to bring down his fever. My mother is a doctor, so she explained to him, in all the details, how the procedure would be done, referring to the suppository as if it were a small candle. A few months later, we went to buy a large square scented candle. He asked, pointing to one of them: “Mom, what is this?”. I replied that it was a candle. He, in a loud voice: “Mommy, don’t buy this, I don’t have a fever anymore!” © Klarina Snitivker / Facebook
