Kids say the darnedest things! (Gelpi / Shutterstock.com)
Have you ever looked at your child and thought “whoever writes your lines deserves an Oscar”? There’s no doubt about it - when you spend time with a little person who seems to be a cross between a poet, an alien, an actor and a crazy person, you’re bound to hear some funny stuff.
It’s not just about having a giggle - there’s something extra special about that feeling when kids make us laugh, a genuine happiness that fills our hearts with joy. Inspired by these hilarious graphics, we asked Goodnet readers to share their children’s funniest quotes - these are our top 17 picks:
1. YUMMY MUMMY
My five-year-old sister Madelyn to my step mom Julie:
“Mommy, let me smell your breath”
(lets her)
Madelyn: “I want Krispy Kreme doughnuts too!”

5. UP THE RIVER
I was trying to teach my children why stealing is bad.
Our four-year-old asks: "What happens if you steal?"
His big bro answers: "If you steal, you'll end up in college for a long time."
He may have meant jail... but I'm sure my youngest son now has a fear of higher education!
