20+ Hilarious Kid Stories That May Make You Laugh Until You Cry

Sometimes children say things that make everyone around them laugh out loud. We put together stories that prove children’s logic is incomprehensible and hilarious. Get ready to smile!

• A child (2 years old) saw twins in the park. He looked at them for a long time. Then he turns to his mom and asks demandingly, “Where is mine like this?” © photographerbrowary / Threads
• My son said, “I saw a cockroach in my room.” I jokingly told him, “Well, catch it and throw it in the trash.” A minute later he comes carrying the cockroach by its antenna: “Should I put it in the organic waste or regular trash?” Kids these days are fearless. © tagir_valeev / X
• My daughter: Gran is a bright star, Granpa is my darling, and Daddy is the best! Me (feeling very left out): That’s lovely sweetheart. What am I? Darling daughter: You mummy, you are a diamond in the rough. Uh... thanks, I think. © Julie Hume / Quora
• When my son was about 2 or 3, there was a mom in our park with triplet girls the same age. They’d often scatter around the playground, and my son never really understood there were 3 of them. One day he was playing with a toy car — lights flashing, music blaring, basically a little disco. He set it on the sidewalk, turned it on... and suddenly all 3 girls came running at him from different directions. I have never seen him run away that fast again. I barely managed to catch him. Poor kid. © valentyna_2015 / Threads

“My kids think making my head big in every picture is funny.”

• My father took my 5-year-old son to a convenient store, a place to buy candy, ice cream, sodas, snacks. As they approached the door, my father generously told him he could pick out anything in the store and he would buy it for him. My father wasn’t aware that the store was auctioning child’s fully operational and expensive go-cart as a promotion of the store’s Grand Opening. My son immediately staked his claim and took my father’s word to heart, sat on the go-cart and said, “Can I get this?” My father couldn’t deny his first and only grandchild. But from that day my Dad never made promises to my son like that ever again. © Kelly Turner / Quora
• My daughter’s tomcat brought someone else’s kitty into the house and let her eat out of his bowl. The daughter said she now has a rough idea of a mother-in-law’s feelings when meeting her daughter-in-law... © photographerbrowary / Threads
• A little cousin was shown a photo of his mom when she was pregnant with him. He immediately started to cry and said to her, “Mommy, why did you eat me?” © David Maynard / Quora
• Today I nearly fell over laughing. A grandma at the bus stop shouted to her grandson, “Put the hat on or your brains will melt!” He quietly took it and put it on her instead. © kenjy_73682 / Thread
• My son came home from daycare and said, “Hedgehog already left our class...” Hedgehog is his friend, he’s 6. I asked, “Why did he leave? What happened?” My son sighed: “He got expelled... he grew up.” © purrr1805 / Threads

“Her new favorite expression has me dying with laughter every time! ”

• I joined a new school when I was in the 8th class. On my first day, I met a girl who was not very famous for having the best presence of mind. My birthday falls on the 10th of December. Here’s an excerpt from my conversation with her that day. I: Hey, when’s your birthday? She: 10th November. Yours? I: Just a month later. (After 5 minutes) She (completely perplexed): 10+30 makes it 40th November. I: *Epic Facepalm* © Sakshi Jain / Quora
• When my daughter was 7, she asked me what year I was born. I told her 1978. She replied with a gasp of horror, “You were born in the nineteens!” © Magnoliamaybe / Reddit
• Yesterday at the playground, I heard a boy, about 12, say to his friend while playing hide-and-seek, “Sir, I can see you!” I’m always charmed by kids like that. Makes me want to shake their hand and give them a medal for something. © yuliyashest / Threads
• Sometimes my husband walks around the house shirtless. Our 6-year-old son copies him. Today we went to my mom’s, and out of habit, my son took off his shirt. My mom said, “Put your shirt on, I don’t like people walking around without clothes.” Without missing a beat, my son replied, “But Mom likes it.” Mic drop. © madina.magdalena / Threads

“She will just sit there making funny faces at herself.”

• My son was about 3 at the time. We were shopping, and I put him in the grocery cart. I was holding a huge pack of toilet paper. He goes, “Mom, put it here.” I told him, “You’ll get buried under the groceries, there’s no room,” but he wanted to help and tried to pull the pack onto himself. I figured it’s soft, no big deal, and let go. The pack completely covered him, and there was a pause — just like in a sitcom. Then I heard from under the paper, “Okay, I admit it, I was wrong!” Everyone around, including me, burst out laughing. © Samantha Rodwell / Quora
• My son, 13, has noticed a funny trend in his orchestra. They address each other formally, using full names. Even when they step outside for a break, the style stays the same.
  — Nick Brown, could you please move your glute off my sheet music?
  — William Smith, why do you need the music? With or without it, you’re still out of tune.

• My daughter is 8. I came up to her and said,
  “You’re my beauty! Do you know you’re very beautiful?”
  Her answer floored me and at the same time showed I’m doing things right:
  “I know. I see myself in the mirror!”
  That’s what healthy self-esteem looks like. © kris_malyukova / Threads

“My son likes to randomly hug other children at playgrounds. This kid’s face...”

• One night when I was picking up groceries, a young boy, maybe around 6, walked up to me. “I like your shoes. And your dress.” I thanked him, and he continued, “You’re pretty. Do you come here often?” His parents told him to be quiet and walked off with him. I have a feeling he’s going to be a ladies’ man someday. © Rachel Cook / Quora
• I was picking up my 3-year-old daughter. We were walking past a grocery store, and she said, “Daddy, do we need a loaf of bread? Let’s buy one.” I thought, “How sweet, she wants bread.” I said, “Of course, let’s buy it.” We went in, I grabbed a loaf, paid for it, and right at that moment my daughter said, “Daddy, look at those beautiful lollipops.” © archer_sv / Threads
• Turns out my daughter (12) hadn’t heard a thing about Romeo and Juliet. Not a single spoiler. We read it, and now she’s upset: “Romeo is a nightmare! First he was heartbroken over Rosaline. Then he was heartbroken over Juliet. Then he was heartbroken that he couldn’t get married. Then he was heartbroken that he was exiled. Mom, he’s just... such an emo!” © vetandko / Threads
