Kids: tiny comedians with zero filter and impeccable timing. Sometimes the hardest part of parenting is keeping a straight face when you need to.
Here are some of my favorite quips from kids – prepare to laugh!

Me: *parks the car*
— Courtney Ellis 🎈 (@courtneyellis) February 22, 2024
My kid: *gets out, surveys the scene, sighs heavily*
Me: You are SEVEN.
Him: Yes, but when I learn to drive I will park much better than this.

My 6yr old talking to himself on the toilet: everyday I gotta get up for school. & then everyday I’m gonna have to get up for work. When does it end. Did I ask for this? No. I don’t remember that I asked for this. I asked for rest and legos and French toast.

My 3.5-year old, eating his porridge, glances out the window at my car and comments absently, "I see you still have your winter tires on."

There's an ambulance outside as we walk into a store, and when my husband says that someone must be sick or hurt, my 7yo loudly proclaims, "BUT WHY would they 𝙗𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 them to Walmart?!"

I had a tea party with my 6yo, and told her the pastries were delicious. She said her husband made them. She talked about her 3 kids and how hard it is to be a doctor. I asked how she's able to host tea parties with all that going on. She said she has a supportive husband.

I suggested to my wife that it seemed pointless to continually fill the bird feeder, as the squirrels always empty it in hours. Behind me, my son said, “It’s in your interest for the squirrels to be on your side when the Great War begins,” and ate another spoonful of Froot Loops.

My daughter keeps exclaiming, “What in tarnation?” when something surprises her. It’s cute but a little like living with a 3rd Grade Yosemite Sam.

I’ve always talked to my kid exactly like any other adult. Mostly because it’s hilarious. But now I’m facing the consequences. I feel like I’m parenting an elderly man in a 5yo’s body.

He went over and just stood by the window and said somberly “There’s a cold front coming in.”

We told my 4yr old I was pregnant and she was NOT happy about it. After she cried in her bed she came downstairs hands on hips and asked in the most accusatory tone “And where exactly is this new baby gonna sleep?” like we were two teens who hadn’t thought this pregnancy through
