18 Innocent Children’s Phrases So Expressive That They Couldn’t Go Unnoticed

Children’s minds are so creative, spontaneous and intensely honest, that we often hear things from little ones that can baffle us. Small ideas, doubts about the world or even their own opinion: whatever it is, children allow adults to see the world from a peculiar child perspective for a few seconds. The good thing is that this often results in fun and funny situations.

Letting yourself be carried away by the childish way of seeing life, the awesome.club collected hilarious comments made by children to adults. We know that some of the grown-ups tried to hold back their laughter when they heard such “pearls”, but in many cases the laughter was inevitable.

I teach literature classes for children. When they behave well and reach their daily goals, I give them a sticker as a reward. One day, one of my students took my sheet of stickers and stuck one on my face. “Good teachers should get stickers too,” she said. Since that day, she always takes the sheet of stickers and makes sure I get mine too. © SkysEevee / Reddit My daughter realized that our dog has nipples, but since she is spayed, she will never have puppies. When the two were playing and the dog was on her back, my daughter asked her:
“Luna, if you’re not going to have puppies, why do you have so many nipples?” © mrj80 / RedditNot such a cute story, but rather innocent and hilarious. Walking home from school (it’s only one street away), snow got on my 6 year old daughter’s shoe and she asked me:
— Do you also hate it when the snow betrays you like that?
It took a great effort to contain my laughter and, maintaining my composure, I agreed with her. © GMOiscool / RedditWe were in the car ordering food. We said what we wanted into the microphone, and when a voice confirmed our order, my 4-year-old son asked, “Is there anyone in there?” © My_reddit_username_7 / Reddit

It’s amazing how babies and toddlers are blank canvases. Childhood innocence is magic. I remember a moment I lived with my eldest daughter. As she had been growing up so quickly, I asked rhetorically, “When did you grow so much?” Now she’s 19, that’s crazy! © Therapeutic_rec / Reddit When I smile, my gums show more than I’d like. One day, my goddaughter asked me about it. I fought the urge to point out that it runs in the family, and that when she grows up, she’ll realize how lucky she is. Instead, I said that God made me this way, but either explanation would have done. © evolving-me / Reddit When both of my children were small, they would hug their mother or hold her, nuzzling her neck, saying, “Mum smells like mommy.” My wife loved it. They’re still doing it, and they’re well into their 30s. © snotrocket50 / Reddit When I was a college student, I used to babysit. The smallest of the girls I took care of said to me one day, out of the blue: “Are the boys in your class still boring?”. I almost burst out laughing at such innocence. © matzo_baller / Reddit

I went to visit my sister, and during the time I spent at her house, my 2-year-old niece was drawing. When I was about to leave, I said goodbye saying: “Bye, Adriana”. She, without raising her head, stopping drawing or cracking a smile, said to me: “Bye, stinky butt”. It was the funniest thing she’d ever said to me. © Michigander819 / RedditFor me, being able to experience the world through the magic and wonderful logic of childhood has been one of the best parts of motherhood. One day I showed my 4 and a half year old twins a picture of them when they were at daycare. They were still babies, and I had dressed them to match, bow tie and all. Upon seeing the photo, one of them asked: “Who are these?”, and the other replied: “It’s you and me when we were married!”. © My_reddit_username_7 / Reddit When my daughter was 2, I took her swimming. At one point, she snuggled up to my shoulder and, stroking my arms, said:
“You are so soft!”
Normally, if it was someone else saying that to me, I’d be really embarrassed, but she said it in a sweet, loving way. It doesn’t matter what Mommy looks like, as long as she’s always comfortable and warm. © OvalTween / Reddit

I work as a personal chef, and one day one of the daughters of a client asked me: “Have you ever eaten rotten horseradish?”. Both the mother and I were confused for a few minutes, wondering what she was trying to say. Until I thought I understood: “Horseradish-spicy, you mean?” Yes, that was it. We had a lot of laughs. © karebear111 / RedditI love it when my kids beat me at video games. The other day, we were playing a Mario Bros minigame and my 5-year-old son managed to outrun my wife, while the older one overtook me to win. I had a lot of laughs © TurnedEvilAfterBan / Reddit My son has been going through that phase where he keeps asking weird questions like, “How do I get into a book?” while banging his head against the pages. © My_reddit_username_7 / Reddit

My partner, my 7-year-old son and I were watching one of the “Fast and Furious” movies. At a certain point in the film, two women were kissing, and at that moment my son exclaimed: “They are geisha!”. After a few laughs, we explained that geisha was something else, and that the right word for what he meant was “lesbians”. To cap off the conversation, after a reflective silence, he said: “I’m a lesbian, right? Because I like girls too.” My stomach hurt from laughing so hard. My son is now 15 years old, and already clearly knows the difference between a geisha and a lesbian, but he keeps blushing when he recalls this story.
