Kids say the darndest things, but when they say something creepy at bedtime, it can cost everyone involved more than a bit of sleep.

Sometimes it seems like they’re just trying to stall the moment you finally get some freedom for a few hours, but sometimes, they really seem to have something on their minds.

This little boy said “goodbye” instead of “good night,” and things kind of spiraled from there.

This person read the whole thing differently, suggesting it was the Dad would should sleep with one eye open.

And this person made a joke about the kid’s Lego assassins slacking off…

Like, wow.

Nothing is creepier (or more sad) than this story, though, about a little boy who wasn’t there one morning.

Or this little girl, who had a premonition about her own death.

Well, if you’re anything like me you’re sufficiently creeped out, and probably ready to sleep with one eye open yourself tonight.

I’m waiting for the day one of my kids says something like this. We’ve escaped so far.

If you’ve got a similar story to share, please do in the comments! You never know what kind of craziness your kids will come up with next!
