10 Times Kids Said Something Wild and It Made Us Laugh Out Loud

Kids say the darnedest things. And by “darnedest” I mean “wildest and most ridiculous.”

It’s not their fault, really. Their brains are still developing. They’re still figuring out basic rules of reality.

And we get to reap the benefits in the form of memes.

10. If I had a million dollars

Just don’t tell the guy behind the counter to keep the change, I guess.

9. We’re gonna need a bigger book

Ok, well, this just opened up a whole litany of new subjects.

8. Not too bright

I mean, he was really just following the line of thinking you’d laid out for him.

7. The big short

Um, if that’s how it worked I think MORE people would smoke.

6. From the mouths of babes

I think I see your problem here.

5. Hitting a wall

If you treat every uh-oh as an emergency, you’ll never get anything else done.

4. Beaming with pride

I dunno, this is what we say to grown ups, I guess.

3. A man of principle

Why is “cousin” in quotes like that? What the heck is going on in your family?

2. Fairly obvious

Hey, why not?

1. Breathe free

Let’s get this bread.

When I was a kid I was trying to help my mom bake. We got to the part that said “grease bottom of pan” and I greased the underside.

I still haven’t lived it down.

What’s something dumb a kid has said to you?
