Kids are masters of deceit. They never seem like they’re paying attention, but bring them through a checkout line with an inquisitive cashier and they’ll perk right up while airing out all your dirty laundry. And I mean ALL of it. They can make you laugh, cry, want to disappear into the floor, and seriously question the meaning of life with inquiries that put famous philosophers to shame.
The things that come straight from the mouths of babes can range from unintentionally hilarious to humbling and soul crushing, and the funny parents on Twitter are here to share the hilarity.

A mom brought her young son into the Macy's dressing room, and he's saying things like "Not your best look" and "It makes you lumpy right there," and I want to ask his opinion about these pants.

'The children are our future', I mutter as the 2-year-old holds a compass upside down and confidently tells me it's 40 o'clock.

Me: Are you ready to have the best day ever?
5-year-old: Yes, but I’ll still be a little cranky.— Mommy Owl (@Lhlodder) March 20, 2018
According to my 5 year old “what the heck in your face” is the worst thing you can say to someone.

Overheard a little boy say, “My life is poop,” and I identify with him on a deeply spiritual level.

Me: Jeez my phone is ringing off the hook.
Kids: What hook?
Me: I hate your generation.

Mom, are you 56?
No. I'm 36.

I got stuck in an elevator & came home and told my kid the story. She asked if I ever got out so I’m gonna go drink her college fund now.

My son just said, “Just as a heads up, my rocket is probably going to come pick me up soon. I was placed here as a baby but I’m seven now, it’s time to return home.” I asked him if he was an alien and he said, “yeah, we’re hunters. We explore planets.” I’m genuinely creeped out.

My son pronounces the word society like "so-shitty" and honestly, he's kind of nailed it.
