I think four-year old are pretty much the funniest people on the planet. I know this because I’ve worked at preschools and would basically just spend the whole day laughing at their various antics.
They are smart enough to know a lot about life, but still young enough to be adorable confused about so many things.
I’ve rounded up some of the funniest tweets about life with a four year old, hope you enjoy these as much as I did!

4yo crouched over a pretend cane: "I'm a little old lady, I am one thousand years old"
— 🌾🍁🍂 bosco 🍂🍁🌾 (@selentelechia) December 14, 2025
me: "wow you must know a lot. tell me a secret of the universe"
4yo: "ahhh the universe. that is the one thing I don't know about."

my 4yo waved at a man with a face and neck full of tattoos
— Dr. Caitlin Baird (@bairdlet) September 15, 2024
he waved back
4yo [yelling]: MOM THAT MAN IS SO *FANCY* HI FANCY MAN YOU’RE FANCY

ok so i did the "pulling something out of your ear" trick with my 4yo and she keeps having me do it over and over now.

i _think_ she thinks i'm actually finding stuff in her ear because she's saying things like "we don't really need stores we can just get things from ears"

I was outside as my neighbor’s 4 year old went by on his new training wheel bike. He went about 20 feet, stopped, got off, took his water bottle from the holder and said, “I got to stay hydrated.”

Me (lying next to 4yo as he falls asleep, thinking about the brevity of life and trying to impress this very moment in my memory for when he is grown): I love you

4yo (whispering very softly): Daddy you need a mint

My 4yo is in a know-it-all phase where every time he asks a question he prefaces by saying “I already know this but can you remind me…” I told him there was a guy named Plato who said we’re born knowing everything and merely rediscover things, and he said “yeah I knew that”

In the kitchen with my apron on, my 4yo came in and said, "Your cape is on backwards." I still have to make dinner, but at least now I feel like a superhero.

4yo: I need $60.
— 3 Wild Rainbows (@wildrainbow2) January 7, 2023
Me: Why?!
4yo: Don't worry about that.

My 4yo was watching TV with her talking baby doll. She moved slightly and the doll said "I'm hungry, mommy!"
— Stay at Homie (@stayathomies) September 30, 2019
So my 4yo gets annoyed and says "Ugh! Again?!"
Then gets up, walks to her play kitchen, grabs a banana and throws it at the baby.
Grandkids might not be in my future.

Me: “How many kids were in your ballet class today?”
— Faye L Root (@littlebayschool) February 23, 2026
4yo: “I couldn’t count them.”
Me: “Okay, guess.”
4yo: “65? 2?”

“You knew what you were getting into when you had children”
— Be Kind Of Witty (@bekindofwitty) January 25, 2022
Did I? Did I know that I’d be arguing with a 4yo that we don’t lick peoples feet? DID I KNOW THAT?

My 4yo pretended she was a hired cleaner yesterday as. As she helped me clean she asked if I had any kids. After telling her about my 2 I asked if she had any of her own. Turns out she has 5 kids and has been married to a man named Carlin for 30 years. You think you know someone.

My favourite kid I ever taught when I was a swim teacher was this little 4-year-old Italian boy. One time he sneezed and nobody said anything so he just went “what? No bless yous for Giacomo?”

— James Breakwell, Exploding Unicorn (@XplodingUnicorn) October 17, 2018
4-year-old: Spaghetti.
Me: That's not a snack.
4: It is if you just make a little bit.

A few months ago my 4yo got in the car after school and said “I’m the king of numbers” and I had kind of forgotten about it but today we were at a birthday party & one of the dads said “hey did you know all the kids in class calls your son the ‘king of numbers’ ?????????

My son proposed to his fiancée about six months ago and she said yes. They’re super happy, we love her family too. I just found out today that another girl is in love with him and plans to propose next week…. should I say anything? Oh and also, he’s 4. They’re all 4.

I’m sick today and my 4 year old said she knows what will make me feel better but she has to whisper it into my ear.
— eli 🕯✨ (@nienna121) October 28, 2024
What was whispered into my ear: “TAKE ME TO THE PLAYGROUND AND YOU WILL FEEL BETTER”

My 4 year old, listening to my heart beat with his toy stethoscope, says, "I have bad news for you. I'm pretty sure there are a ton of bats in there."

My 4yo put on a pair of jeans for the first time yesterday and as soon as buttoned them she said, "Mommy, these are NOT good pants," took them off, threw them across the floor, and put on leggings.
