I am sure there have been threads like this in the past, but I usually think of "things kids say" as pre-K or Kindergarten, for whatever reason.
Anyway, my son is higher elementary aged, and we were all sitting around the dinner table last night just chit chatting and totally randomly goes
"Dad, do you get erections?"
You could've heard a pin drop.
I tried to hold it together. I really, really did, but as soon as I lost it, so did everyone else. My poor son was confused, but I told him between gasps it wasn't him, it was the random question.
For context, he's been reading a book called "Boys Will Be Human" and it was mentioned.
Please share yours, old or new, because I know we could all use the laugh.

My son is 9.5 and the other day he said, "Mom, I can't believe you were born in the 1900's!" Haha!

That's hilarious!
I've posted this before but it can take another airing.

DS's friends have the cutest little boy, who is nearly 4. They told him a few months ago that they were going to have a baby and he would be a big brother. He looked awfully worried and said that he was too little to be a big brother, and could he just be a brother? 🥰

My friend’s DD must have been around 4 or 5 years old. My friend woke her up one morning, and her DD told her “But I’m not done sleeping yet”

Please share yours, old or new, because I know we could all use the laugh. I had to do Puberty Talks with my 5th graders this year. Every day, the kids could anonymously submit questions. I got some doozies! I got to use “That’s a very good and important question, but outside of what we’re covering in class. You might want to go home and ask a trusted adult.” It made for a lot of interesting dinner conversations, according to their parents. |

Tucking my 3-year-old grandson into bed, I said, "You're the best boy in the world." He opened his eyes drowsily and said, "I know." I may be creating a narcissist. |

From my memories on FB 11 years ago today. They are 16 now.
The boys are singing songs for me (making them up). Finn is singing "kid songs" and Kian is singing "adult" songs. When I asked them what an adult song was, they explained, "adult songs have words like fart and butt in them."
So now you know.

A boy, probably 3 or 4, asked my daughter if she knew that his mom and dad took their showers together! She said, after trying not to lose it, oh that’s nice! She has way more stories like that but I can’t remember any right now. Gotta love little kids! |

It's been a few years but I had a little dog that had a couple {ahh} "boundary issues" which I had called Twerking because the dance move looks the same to me. I was driving my 6yr old niece to her dance class and I was stopped at a light and I here a very frustrated little voice say Crickett you stop Twerking on me! Nice girls don't Twerk and put your tongue back in your mouth we are Not Miley Cyrus!!
It was good that I was already stopped because I lost it!

My oldest DD was trying to teach her little girl, aged around 3, the difference between boys and girls, and the proper names for their body parts. Youngest DD's boyfriend came to the door to pick her up and 3-year-old DGD runs up to him and asks "Do you have a penis?" He looked absolutely stricken and said to us "Why did she ask me that?!" When we finally recovered from laughing so hard, we explained it all to him and told him to just say Yes. He was still so embarrassed! That was 30 years ago and we still laugh about it from time to time.

My third child was in a minivan full of little girls on the way to a birthday party. The mom driving was at her wits' end with one little girl talking incessantly, complaining, asking questions, etc. but she didn't want to say anything. My daughter, age 7, pipes up (probably in a voice that sounded like mine), "Would you give it a rest? You're making me crazy!"
The mom told me the story and I was mortified until she said how grateful she was that DD had said what she wanted to.

I asked my then 3-year-old what it took to make flowers grow. He told me it was sunshine, water, and applesauce.

I've posted this before but when DS was old enough to order from the main menu instead of the kids, the server asked him if he would like soup or salad with his meal. He got really excited and said "Yes! I want the super salad!" We still tease him about it to this day and he's almost 32!

My youngest DS and I were working on some school project together and I said "For the love of Pete!" And he asked if that was someone dad needed to know about.

When my son was 1-4 he was 3-4 he was in full time pre-school he came home one day and asked me “ mom, did you know girls don’t have a penis? They have two butts.” The toddler potties were in a partitioned off area with kiddie sized toilets and half walls so the teachers could supervise during potty training. He had used one at the same time as another little girl.

When my daughter was little she was putting on her shoes and I said they were on the wrong feet. She looked up confused and said “but these are my feet!”

My son is 9.5 and the other day he said, "Mom, I can't believe you were born in the 1900's!" Haha! I just saw something that said "Be kind to me, I was born in the 1900's"! My daughter would tell me I was the bestest Mom ever. Well, yes that would be true because I am her only Mom. My youngest had speech issues for awhile in elementary school. When we were going on a road trip she would point at cabins in the forest and ask if we were going to stay in one of those "cabinets." |

Around here, when there are public fireworks the end bit is often called the "grand finale". One year we were watching from home and he got upset that he didn't get to see "The grandpa alley"  We still bug him about it and he's 23! |

My mother was taking her grandson somewhere and he announced that he knew the worst cuss word in the world. She asked what it was. His answer was "Pig in the dew."
None of us can figure out what he heard or how he came to that conclusion. However it has become a very handy phrase in our family....you can curse anywhere and get away with it. One can ask, "How was your day/trip or whatever. If the response is "a pig in the dew day" you know.
Or, "I was pigging in the dew" because ___.

My neighbors dd told her mom “I think I know what the F word is”. Mom told her to whisper it in her ear and then she never wanted to hear her say it again. DD said “I think it’s “fat” “ |

One time when my youngest DS was about 3.5-4 he asked me not to sing along with music in the car, because "the songs don't sound nice when you sing". He wasn't wrong. I can't sing to save my life.  |

My parents have a John Deere gator that all of the grandkids love. When middle ds was 6, we went to Florida, drove by a pond/swamp and I said something like "I wonder if there are gators in there?" DS asked, do they really have tractors in ponds?
At school, an 8 year old boy gave a co-worker a tumbler filled with chocolate. He said, "See the candy? There used to be more, but I ate it"
