10 Kids Who Turned Family Moments Into Sitcom Scenes

Life with kids is full of awkward moments that keep parents on their toes. Children have a special talent for saying things adults would keep to themselves. Their honesty can catch you off guard, but it’s also what makes them so lovable.

• I was about 6, and we were all having dinner with the whole family. Suddenly I said, “Grandma! Should I tell everyone what you and Grandpa do when you’re both in your room?” The table went silent. Grandma froze mid-bite. Grandpa nearly dropped his fork.
  Then I proudly shouted, “She makes him fold the laundry!” Everyone burst out laughing. Grandma covered her face while Grandpa said, “She’s not wrong.”

• My sister-in-law was pregnant with her first child. My kid was about 4 or 5. My kid had never really been around anyone who was pregnant (that she would have had reason to talk to) before. So does my kid ask how the baby got in there? Nope, she asks how they’re going to get it out. “Aunty (SIL), are you going to poop the baby out?” © stalagit68 / Reddit

• I’m 72. While I was in the supermarket, a kid looked me up and down, and then said, “Hey mister, you look like your expiration date is up.” © Unknown author / Reddit

• I once tried to “fix” my mom’s phone by putting it in the microwave because I thought it needed a little heat to work better. Spoiler: It did not. © BlogBoss / Reddit

• I raised my son with as much knowledge about nature as I could teach him, so he’s more knowledgeable about nature than most kids. It was a few weeks before Christmas, and at the age of about seven he turned me and said, “Santa Claus is nocturnal.” © rastroboy / Reddit

• We got a hotel last night and had a bucket of ice. My daughter woke up in the morning and woke me and my fiance up exclaiming, “Someone put water in our ice bucket!” © Jitlok15** / Reddit

• My 4-year-old nephew asked me why there was a man in a field dressed in a horsey suit. He was looking at a horse. © Unknown author / Reddit

• My little cousin once tried to “feed” his goldfish a cookie by dunking the whole thing in the tank. The fish was not impressed. © TotalThing7 / Reddit

• When my son was about 5 years old, he asked me if dinosaurs were alive when I was a kid.

• I let my niece out of her car seat and said, “You’re free!” She responded, “No, I’m free and a half!” She was 3 1/2 years old. © akchemy / Reddit

Children truly have a gift for making life more entertaining. Sometimes, their sense of humor is the best reminder to not take things too seriously.
