Times Kids Stumped Their Parents With Questions
One of the fun things about having kids is not really knowing what to expect each day. Every day is going to be a different blur of situations and conversations you never thought you would have with another human being. Those are the memories that you're going to remember forever, and sometimes they're the weird questions your kids ask you that you were in no way prepared to answer.
This Kid Might Be On To Something
I spent a lot more time sounding out the letter "W" after reading this tweet than I want to admit. This is going to be on my mind for a while.
Maybe That Explains The New Car Smell
When you look at a car and try to imagine it as an animal, it would make sense that the inside part of the car where you sit would be the stomach. The logic is sound.
That's A Complicated Question
Leave it to a kid to throw you into an existential crisis with what they assume is a really simple question. How did they know what to name them? Where did that come from?
A Future Doctor, Perhaps?
While that is a great answer, I think that there was an opportunity missed here to explain to her that it is both magic and science that makes a baby.
She Isn't Wrong
Courage the Cowardly Dog is a show that a lot of us have probably tried to block out of our memories. Children's TV has come a long way since most of us were kids.
Who Is Kevin, Indeed
If you think about it, the song would still make sense if it was about knocking on Kevin's door, it just becomes a lot creepier. Who is Kevin? And why does he drop black clouds on people?
I'm Frustrated Just Thinking About It
While this is an excellent question, it will always be a question that doesn't have a good enough answer. It's like a "what came first, the chicken or the egg?" situation.
The Magic Of Television
Isn't it weird that at one point in our lives, we didn't really understand how TV and the radio worked and we invented ways to make sense of them? I would have loved to keep believing there were tiny people living in the radio.
Maybe Today It Is
Kids have the funniest way of being rude without actually being rude. It doesn't have to be Thanksgiving for them to get a delicious home-cooked meal, now does it?
We Didn't Ask For Feedback
How would a kid even know what good and bad cooking is? How many different places have they eaten to make the assumption that their mom is not good at cooking?
It's Still Better Than Before
You know how I know she's a good mom? Because she didn't look her kid dead in the eye and ask them sarcastically why it is they think that mom is so tired.
Love The Confidence Here
That's the kind of confidence that gets people places in this world. It doesn't matter if they are wrong. What matters is that they believe they are right, and that's good enough for them.
There Is Only One Way To Find Out
Any time a kid has asked me a question like this, what baffles me more than the question itself is that something happened in their tiny brain to lead them to this conclusion.
It Really Should Be
You can make cheese a vegetable if you believe hard enough. Like, why not melt some cheese on your veggies every time you make them and hope for the best?
Why Are Kids So Creepy?
This is one of those things that a kid says that you think nothing of until you think you hear something downstairs in the middle of the night and you start to wonder...
I'd Watch That Music Video
Now that I have this mental picture in my head, I will never be able to unsee it. Anytime I hear "Thunderstruck" going forward, I will picture Elmo in leather chaps.
It's A Nice Thought
OK, bear with me here. That isn't technically wrong, and while it isn't a scientific way to explain the sun setting and rising somewhere else, it makes for a nice explanation.
We Might As Well Be 90
There is nothing a kid does better than making you feel older than you actually are. It's because time passes slowly when you're a kid, and when you get older and one year makes up less of your life, things change.
Are They More Human Or More Fish?
I would like to think that they don't get pruney because they're down in the water all the time...unless they are always pruney except for when they're not in the water. That's gotta be weird for them.
Obviously Not, Duh
OK, this one is easy. A quick Google search could have answered this question, but right in the moment, you want to answer as quickly as possible so you don't get any tougher follow-up questions.
It Can Be Both?
Kids love to do nice things for their parents, so she's probably asking Santa to be nice to her dad; however, they're very observant, so it's funny she knew to ask for bourbon.
I Want To Know The Answer To This One
The craziest part of this one is that I never thought about this once, and now that I've seen it and considered it, it's a good question that I think we would all like the answer to.
I Wish They Grew On Trees
If quesadillas grew on trees, then that would mean that they are healthy for you, and I think we all want to live in a world where that is true.
We Probably Already Do
If there was going to be a corporate entity that was going to take the place of God in our lives, it would certainly be Target. There is just something there for everyone.
An Excellent Observation
I love the idea of getting into a human-sized sink every morning and getting cleaned up for the day. It feels more fun than dragging yourself out of bed for a shower.
He's Had Enough Of It
This kid is so young to be so fed up with their dad's dad jokes. They're are only going to get worse as they get older. The jokes just get cheesier and lamer as the kids get old enough to feel real shame.
Is This Actually True?
I'm not going to spend my time looking it up, but this sounds really plausible and if someone told me this I would probably believe them without thinking twice about it.
It's All Downhill From Here
I hate to be that person, but imagine what they're going to feel like when they're our age and you can't tell if you're sick and or just old when you get up in the morning.
The New Zodiac Sign
The new generation of kids aren't going to be asking what your star sign is, they're going to be asking what stuffed animal you would be if you could pick.
This Isn't Wrong
Being pregnant does mean, at a certain point, that you can't bend over, but it also means a lot of other things that maybe a 3-year-old doesn't need to be taught just yet.
