If you’ve ever spent any amount of time around small children, you’ll know that they are capable of saying the funniest things. Whether it is mispronouncing words, repeating inappropriate things they’ve heard or delivering savagely honest observations, kids can be a source of both amusement and embarrassment for parents. It’s little wonder that one Reddit thread on the topic hads over 10,000 comments.

Here’s some of the best ones:

I was explaining to my 4-year-old son what muscles are and asked him to look at my biceps. He said “hold on I need to go get my magnifying glass.” I didn’t even know what to say and my wife is still laughing about it. (The_Chap)

‘Dad what’s that?’
‘Thats a cemetery’
‘Whats a cemetery?’
‘Thats where they bury dead bodies’
‘Oh’

(A few minutes pass)

‘Dad?’
‘Yeah?’
‘Where do they bury the heads?’ (NeckroFeelyAck)

I worked as a teacher’s assistant for a year and I have a weird last name so I got the kids to call me Mr A if they couldn’t pronounce it, but some kids still tried to say their interpretation of my name. One of the kids said, “Mr A im gonna start calling you mr avocado. Because i cant remember your last name, and i dont like avocado.”

Then she elaborated: “You look like you’re dead”. (deleted)

Friends of mine recently had a new baby and they told me this story about how their older kid was super excited for the new sibling and for the first few days they brought her home everything was great and nice and lovey.

The nurses lost it. (IBFlight)

My oldest daughter (she was about 10-11 years old at the time) and I were talking about being/feeling old. She said, “You’re a young lady.” I said, “I’m 33. I’m not a young lady anymore.” She looked at me with a straight face and said, “You better take the compliments while you can.” 😶 (Rhyannon)

My three year old was eating some mixed nuts when I asked him what his favorite nut was.

He thought for a couple seconds and said, “doughnut”. (galaxiusmons)

My 4 yr old son is in the bath. He grabs his nuts and looks at me.

S: Mummy, what are these?
M: Those are your testicles. S: What are they for?

I should have stopped here.. I really should.

M: When you are older they help you make babies.

With wide eye’s my dear son looks down at his nuts, looks back up at me and says:

S: There’s a baby in there?

While I am trying to formulate a response to this and back track this conversation before it goes any further down hill he looks down again in shock. Looks back up and shrieks at full volume:

S: TWO OF THEM????!!!

At which point I just died laughing.

He’s now 6 and still mad that I won’t explain how the man puts the seed in the mummy’s tummy.. (MorithK)

My son was talking to my best friend a while ago, and he wanted to tell him a joke.

Son: “Uncle Owen, can I tell you a joke?”

Uncle: “Kiddo, my whole life’s a joke.”

Son: (pause) “Yeah, but this one’s funny.”

It was glorious, and brutal, and beautiful. I’ve never been prouder. (bald_adonis)

What has your child said that was unintentionally hilarious?
