"My toddler went through a phase where she would just constantly say 'hi' to things. "Hi hi hi hi hi hi"
One day, it came out sounding more like 'Die die die die die'
So I say to her "What's that you're saying?"
And turns to face me and just whispers 'Diiiieeeeeee.......'"
"I was tucking in my two year old. He said "Good bye dad." I said, "No, we say good night." He said "I know. But this time its good bye." Had to check on him a few times to make sure he was still there."
"Not to me, but to his grandmother.
He was cuddling with her and being very sweet (he was about 3 at the time). He takes her face in his hands, and brings his face close to hers, then tells her that she's very old, and will die soon.
Then he makes a point of looking at the clock."
"My 3 year old daughter stood next to her new born brother and looked at him for awhile then turned and looked at me and said, "Daddy its a monster..we should bury it."
"I was sound asleep, and at around 6am I was woken up by my 4 year old daughters face inches from mine.
She looked right into my eyes and whispered, 'I want to peel all your skin off.'
The backstory here is I had been sunburned the previous week, and was starting to peel. In my sleep addled state however, it was pretty terrifying for a few seconds. I didn't know if I was dreaming, or what was going on."
"Kid (4 year old): I want a cupcake
Me: No.
Kid: I want a cupcake, please?
Me: No.
Kid: Whispers If you give me a cupcake I wont cut your neck."
"I was with my sister, her husband, and their two year old daughter. We were talking about loved ones that had recently passed (my father had died sometime recently). My brother in law went and grabbed a picture of his mother, who had died in a car crash when he was six, to show me. When my niece saw the picture though she started laughing. We asked her what was so funny and she looked at us and said 'that's my special friend who sings to me'. I still shiver a bit just thinking about it."
"My niece drew a picture 'of a man in her room' that she kept telling her parents about. He had two different colored eyes, and one was gray. When asked why it was gray, she responded "because he can see the storm coming."
"My friend's 7 year old kid pretended to put me in jail. Our conversation went something like this:
Me: What did I do? Forget to brush my teeth? Didn't do my homework?
Her: You murdered a 23 year old woman while she was jogging in the early morning."
Me: "...."
"When I was young, like maybe two years old, my grandma was in the hospital, dying of cancer. Obviously i had no idea what was going on, but apparently one day when my mother and aunt were watching me, I suddenly looked at them and said "Only one Grandma"
they kept trying to convince me otherwise, that no, i had two grandmas, but I kept repeating that line over and over
Then the phone rang. It was my uncle calling to tell my mother that my grandma had passed a few minutes ago"
"Recently actually. My son always says odd things. Usually they're funny but this one threw me for a loop. He is 8. I was telling him how much I love him and thanks for being in my life. He said: I didn't choose this life. I couldn't control how it began. But I can control how it ends."
"My 3 year old daughter was in the bath playing with her toys with me and laughing. Suddenly her face deadpans, she looks me in the eye and tells me in a serious little voice "mummy, if you bit and ate all my fingers off I wouldn't love you anymore"
