Spending time with kids is always a blast, but they often say the most unexpected things at the most random moments. Here are 14 stories where kids left everyone stunned with their jaw-dropping remarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A 7-year-old once told me he was scared to go into his parents’ room because \u201cFoxy lives there.\u201d Since he was past the usual age of being afraid of monsters, I figured it was just his imagination running wild. Still, I decided to mention it to his mom. Later, I found out that while playing hide-and-seek, he had opened the closet in his parents’ room and discovered a fox costume that belonged to his dad. Ever since then, he had been nervous about going in there, and \u201cFoxy\u201d became very real to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I work with young children, and one day, I was asking them if they knew their parents’ names. I asked a little boy, \u201cWhat\u2019s Mommy\u2019s name?\u201d He said, \u201cMila.\u201d Then I asked, \u201cWhat\u2019s Daddy\u2019s name?\u201d He looked really confused, like he couldn\u2019t figure out the answer. So I asked, \u201cWhat does Mommy call Daddy?\u201d After thinking for a moment, he proudly said, \u201cBig Papa.\u201d I couldn\u2019t help but laugh \u2014 it was just so cute and completely unexpected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once, while babysitting a 7-year-old girl, she told me that her mom\u2019s name wasn\u2019t actually her real name. She explained that her mom made it up \u201cfor work,\u201d and that it felt like having a \u201cnew mommy.\u201d I tried to gently ask more questions, but the girl didn\u2019t know anything else. Later, I learned the shocking truth: her mom had actually faked everything \u2014 her name, identification, degree, and work history. Nobody knew how she managed to keep it up for so long, but eventually, it all came to light and she lost her job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At my son\u2019s preschool, the teacher once shared a funny story from story time. The kids were sitting in a circle as she read a book about animals and the sounds they make. When they got to the owl, she said, \u201cThis is an owl, and it makes the sound \u2018Whooo! Whooo!\u2019\u201d Suddenly, one of the kids excitedly chimed in, \u201cOh! My mom makes that noise when she\u2019s really happy!\u201d The teacher had to hold back her laughter while the adults nearby exchanged amused glances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
