Comically Confused: 25 Hilarious Tweets About Kids' Most Adorable Misunderstandings

I love working with kids, because they are often hilarious…even when they don’t mean to be.

I’ve rounded up some of the funniest quips from kids, who, for one reason or another, were just oh so confused.

Hope these bring you some laughs!

I did the universal sign for “call me” and my tween gave me a confused look and asked “on a banana?”

Generational humor

Apparently a Gen Z friend-of-a-friend of my husband went to the bank and they asked for his "social," and he gave his Instagram handle. 🤣

my kid thinks that if you go to the same drive thru twice in a day you have to wear a disguise so they don’t know it’s you

I was telling my kids about the time in 1996, after just moving to Atlanta, I got lost and it took me 5 hours to get home because I didn’t have a map.

My son said, “What do you mean map? Like a National Treasure map?”

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?"

*Opens bottle of bleach*
Nephew : How did you open it? I tried but it didn't open.
Me : Oh it's coz it has a child safety lock. Children can't open it.
*nephew looks at bottle in amazement*
Nephew : How did it know I was a child?

🤣🤣🤣

Last night my 4yo said a prayer for all the people in the world including "Africa, Asia and Syrup." From now on, I will be referring to Europe only as Syrup.

I bought my son a book about bats and halfway through it he shouted out, “WHAT??? BATS ARE REAL?!?!” All this time he thought they were made up for Halloween like ghosts and witches

Hats off to the waiter that kept a straight face as my 5yo ordered the vagina for lunch instead of the lasagna.

Came out of my house this morning and a mom & little boy were stopped at the end of my driveway. Our car blocked my view, but I thought a turtle or snake might be there. “He asked was this is,” she said. “He’s never seen one before.” They were looking at the newspaper.

We went into the basement for a tornado.

My 3-year-old thought we were hiding from a tomato.

Honestly, that scared her even more.

I’m writing a condolence card. Gregory (5) asks what I’m doing. “I’m writing a note to say how sorry I am that my friend’s mom died,” I say.

He pauses for a VERY fraught moment and then asks, oh so tentatively

“…that’s just to be kind, right? You’re not the one who did it?”

My 8yo daughter met a girl at summer camp last year named "Internet." I said no way, that can't be her name but my daughter has been adamant. For almost a year we've been having this discussion.

ANTOINETTE. I just found out her name is Antoinette.

We have friends coming from the Netherlands. My 8yo kept asking if their kids have grown. We couldn’t understand why she was fixated on this.

Neverland. She thought they were from Neverland.

My 4yo just asked for "corn off the bone."
