Kids say the darndest things. They don’t care for awkward silences or cringe-worthy moments because they simply don’t get fazed by them. They will tell you how they feel even if it means hurting your feelings. But it is this very authenticity that makes children so adorable. When they say ‘I love you’ or ‘I miss you’ it’s a lot more noteworthy because you know they truly mean it.
But also when they say something that is downright silly or a lot more advanced for their age, you can’t help but laugh.
Here are 16 tweets from parents about their kids.
1. It is absolutely adorable that her little cousin mistook a brownie for a brown ‘E.’ You can tell her cousin cares about her through the careful precision of cutting out that alphabet letter.

2. Kids are smart. They may look small, tiny and cuddly but those little minds can absorb a lot of information in a very short time span. That comment is either a surefire way to end an argument or just a knack for knowing that presents are fun!

4. Kids are honest. They understand they give you headaches, heartaches and body aches, but they just want to know what a metaphor is.

5. Children have zero concept of time and age. You can look like a teenager and they will still assume you’re a man of 50.

6. This is such a witty response. The child doesn’t even realize he’s being funny or sassy. In the child’s opinion, that is a genuine question that he or she has in mind.

8. It’s good to see a child who knows what relieves stress for them. Despite whatever is the cause of the distress, this child has the creative outlet to vent that anger.

9. I wonder what this child meant by urinating “in the wrong place”? Like in the kitchen? On a bed? I’m so curious!

10. It’s funny how kids have such weird and unique definitions. For this little girl, being an adult means having the privilege and honor to touch knives. What an adorable thought.

12. This one is super witty. This kid is going to grow up to be quite the quick-thinker. The ability for him to fire back witty remarks almost instantaneously at such a young age is actually quite remarkable.

13. Kids do some wacky stuff. It might come from a place of love but the execution of the plan might not always be optimal.

14. Kids are getting sassier these days. Despite the fact that they are the reason why the family is running late, they can still respond back to dad with a witty remark.

16. That is hilarious. This child has already encountered his or her first existential crisis. How can they balance self-love and their curiosity of the world with of obedience, discipline, and feeling love for mom?
