Four-year-old: “When was I born?” Mom: “You know, on your birthday!” Kid: “No, I don’t!” So Mom tells the date, and the kid goes, “Wait... I WAS born on my birthday?!” That’s some seriously adorable mind-boggling right there.

Five-year-old kiddo throws a tantrum and yells “You’re the worst!” Dad’s shocked, but explains why cleaning up is important. Later, the kid apologizes with, “I told you you’re the worst and that makes ME the worst!” Heart = shattered, part two.

At about 10 years old, this kid wasn’t having it: “Why would you have a wedding here?” after learning about plantations. No way to argue with that question - it’s a total mind blower!

At the dentist: Kid hears a friend say old people get funny cameras up weird places. Panicked: “That won’t happen to me today, right?” Dentist found it hilarious. Parenting life = full of surprises.

“How do you know the ‘red’ I see is the same ‘red’ you see?” Kids asking the big questions way too early and turning your brain into mush.

“Momma, if we’re born again and find each other, will you call me by my name so I know it’s you?” Six years old + philosophical = brains officially broken.

Short, sweet, and totally questions the norms. Kids don’t hold back!
