“Kids do say the most astonishing things,” and there’s a reason this saying exists. They truly do—often crossing into the realms of embarrassing, shocking, and downright hilarious. The amusing remarks made by children often serve as a delightful counterbalance to the myriad of challenges that come with parenting. For the small price of sleep deprivation and a dwindling budget, you are rewarded with an endless supply of laughs thanks to your little ones’ antics. Thankfully, funny parents on Twitter are sharing their children’s most memorable quotes, and we couldn’t be more grateful for it.
1. Gotta appreciate their honesty!
Kids often speak their minds without a filter, voicing whatever thoughts pop into their heads—even if it stings a bit.

Many adults have pondered why certain drinks are off-limits. It’s only natural for kids to wonder why vodka doesn’t get to go out while juice does!

If you ever want a wake-up call on your most embarrassing moments, just have kids—they’ll bring every single one of them to life.
5. Occasionally, they share golden nuggets of wisdom.
Every now and then, children reveal insights that we wish we had figured out earlier in life. During these moments, you’ll feel reassured that you might just be nailing this parenting thing.
6. They’ve got our jokes down pat.
Thanks for serving that one back to us, kiddo!
7. They grow up quicker than we expect.
Kids absorb more from us than we realize, and that can sometimes lead to unexpected outcomes.
8. Your dream turns into a nightmare.
Once they start talking, you might regret wishing for them to use real words.
9. Can we vote for this one?
It’s amusing when kids echo the thoughts we’ve been having all along.
10. It can sound pretty alarming.
One of the charming aspects of children is their literal interpretation of everything they hear.
11. Facepalm.
Just… Ugh.
12. Well then.
Sometimes, it makes you wonder if locking your bedroom door might be a wise move.

It’s tough to hide your amusement when a child drops a perfectly timed curse word; you might just feel a little proud!
14. No chill at all.
There’s something priceless about a naive child accidentally incriminating themselves.
15. Mind. Blown.
And now I can’t shake the image of a guy in a fedora racing on a hamster wheel, adjusting his skinny jeans.
