Kids ask questions. Like, a million questions, all day long until an hour after they were supposed to go to bed. Sometimes they ask the same exact questions multiple times as they try to process the answer.
And sometimes they ask questions that take a surprising, sometimes embarrassing, but always hilarious turn.
These 14 kids had those kind of questions, and I promise every single person who has kids has a story like this tucked away somewhere in their traumatized mind.
14. They don’t need to know that anyway.
Plus it will be funny when they tell their teacher.
My son asked me what does WiFi stand for & I told him it's named after its inventor William Filliam

13. The funniest things blow their minds.
We just take it all for granted.
My daughter asked if @KaceyMusgraves ever gets to eat or sleep because she plays Rainbow so much on the smart speaker. “Some people listen all night. When does she sleep?” I explained that it was a recording and her mind was BLOWN 🤯

12. He’s going to thwart your dad jokes.
As soon as he buys himself a watch.

11. Their little minds are very literal.
That’s not a bad thing, but it does cause trouble sometimes.
😂 That’s like the time I gave the “5-year old explanation” of what a c-section is and my son asked me, “Then what is an A and B section?”

10. They know just how to cut you.
And yes, they’re definitely doing it on purpose.
While watching “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” my daughter asked if it “was from the 1900s”, so if you need me I’ll be researching retirement homes while handing out butterscotch candies to trick-or-treaters.

9. Does the parent really not know, though?
I bet Alexa knows.
Y’all my daughter asked why we grow hair on our private parts and I was like “idk baby that’s a good question” & she sits on my bed dead serious & goes “maybe it was just God adding little details” 🤣😭😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

8. You have to say “probably” to that.
Mostly because we don’t know the actual answer.
I just recalled the time my daughter asked if sand was called sand because it was halfway between 'sea' and 'land'.

7. That’s sweet, honey.
You’re going to die though.
My son asked my 7yo how she would survive a bear attack and she replied she would try to be his friend, thus making her the most adorable of my children but also the least likely to survive an encounter with an actual bear.

6. This is how you “dad.”
And end up having to pay for therapy.
Last night my son asked if I'd ever heard of a pillow fight. I said I had not, so he explained the premise & asked if I would play. I awkwardly held a pillow as he gave me pointers through a smile that lit up the room. My first swing took him off his feet. He never saw it coming.

5. Well, their parenting job is done.
This is going to be my kids, too.
love shack just came on and my son asked “is that john mulaney?” i’m crying

4. Idk why this is so funny.
But I’m about to pee my pants
My kid asked if that lady is tiny. pic.twitter.com/Lm6ytjhV9P

3. Well that just got awkward.
I’m laughing so hard but that kid is traumatized.
My son asked me
"Where does poo come from?"
I was a little uncomfortable but gave him an honest explanation.
He looked a little perplexed, and stared at me in stunned silence for a few seconds and asked, "And Tigger?"— Zack Riley 🇦🇺 (@ColdHeart_Prj) January 2, 2020
2. At least that chat is out of the way.
Better early than never.

1. I mean, it makes sense.
That child is going to be a comedian because that is quite an observation.
My son asked me if a “rug doctor” was a “down there” doctor and now my makeup is ruined because I literally cried laughing.

I just know this day is coming for me! So far, my kid has just cursed around his grandparents a couple of times.
