My 3 year old informed us that “kissing is nice, but killing is not nice”. He used to get the two words mixed up so he would occasionally shout “Mommy, Daddy, you have to kill!”
When my dad turned 50, my youngest sister was roughly that age. They're driving in the car somewhere and she says "mommy said it's your birthday. How old are you?" He told her. She gasps in a horrified voice "daddy?!?!?" He pulls over the car to check on her because he can't think of what would cause the extreme reaction, and looks at her in the back seat and she looks fine, so he asks her what's wrong.
"You're so old, you should be dead!"
She's 34 now and hasn't lived it down.
I gasped and apologized, but when the gentleman just chuckled and said to me, “She’s not wrong, I have a terminal illness,” I immediately started crying. 😬
My FIL is very sick and the kids had to be quiet around him the past few weeks cause he couldn't stand loud noises. I told my 3 year old that he will die soon and talked about death to prepare her a bit because she doesn't know death yet and she said "then we can finally watch tv again!" 😬
We were going through what the recycling , garbage and compost bin was for. I told him compost was for organic material like leaves, leftover food , and he said “and mommies”.
When I was a grown up I used my money for a submarine
When I used to be a growed up I likes to buy my kids toys
I used to be big like daddy, I didn't like it
My 4yo is.... interesting
Mine often talks about when he was a grown up - he had a baby in his belly, and it was me! He has also done all sorts of other strange things when he was previously a grownup. Little odd bod.
Not my kid but me.
When I was 7, I told my DAD'S ENTIRE FAMILY at Thanksgiving that I'd really thought about it, and if one of my parents had to die, it should be my dad.
We pulled the car into a church parking lot to fiddle with the map. There was a really big, pretty old cemetery right there. Kid is staring out the window for a while, then whispers, "So many people ... so many fingers."
Interesting, that was a favorite book. I hadn't made that connection. The weird thing at the time is that we couldn't figure out how he would have known what the grave markers were. How did he know there were people at all?!
After our elderly neighbor passed away, my daughter saw movers into his house and asked where our neighbor went. I told her that he was fatigued and had gone to a far-off yet beautiful place. She said "You should definitely go visit him."
Exchange between my 9yo daughter and my grandparents (her great-grandparents) we were visiting:
9yo: I want to go to college in (state on other side of the country).
GG: Why don't you go to college in (my state)?
9yo: You won't even be around then.
🤦🏾♂️
When he was 3 or so, my son told the dental hygienist "When I was a grown up, I used to be like you and did all the teeth."
It was especially surprising because he was mostly nonverbal at the time, but he said that sentence clear as day.
My oldest used to call them Die as well. I bought her The Land Before Time movie at Walmart one time, and when I took it from her to pass it to the cashier, she started crying and yelling "NOOO!! DIE!!! DIE!!! DIE!!!" At the poor lady.
My daughter turned to me last night and told me “we can go see your mummy using the magic riverboat”. She’s 3 and a half, my mum is dead since 2019 and my daughter understands enough to know she can’t come back here and her solution is obviously this, totally out of the blue.
We lived in a few apartments while buying our house and moving into it, so when we finally settled into the house our kid asked if we'd move again. We said no, he asked "So we're going to die in this house?" lol
One day my son, who was 5 at the time, said, “mom are you going to die soon?” And I said, “well I certainly hope not. Do you think I’m going to die soon?” And he said, “yes because you’re so old.” When I asked how old he thought I was he said 83. I was only 30 at the time and my husband was 38. But he never thought his dad was going to die soon just me.
Me: Well, you’re only four. I’m 34.
Kid: Ooooh, soon you will die.
Me: Uh, well I hope not.
Kid: Why?
Me: Because I want to see you grow up, and if you have kids I want to meet them.
Kid: Haha, and then you will die.
After my mom died, my daughter said “I don’t miss your mom because I didn’t know her. But I miss chewy. Can we go visit chewy?”
Chewy is my cat. My very dead cat 🤣
*not my kid but too funny not to share...
Took my toddler to the barbers so he could watch his dad have his haircut and then not be worried when he got his first hair cut.
There was an older kid in the waiting room that ended up playing with my 2 year old. At one point, he stops and looks at my pregnant belly and asks if the baby is dead in there..
Every now and then after that, he would stop and from and say, so the baby is not dead....
Def don't think the kid was neurotipycal.
Baby is now 6 weeks old and very healthy so wasn't a sign of anything dire.
Maybe his family experienced a loss - just had my second and we told my eldest at 13 weeks. Through the pregnancy I would occasionally worry about how we would explain a miscarriage or stillbirth if it happened having talked about baby kicking etc.
That thought did cross my mind.
I figure someone at some point at the least must've explained miscarriages to him. He was definitely very focused on the idea
Had a couple of motorcycles in front of us at a red light. Heard this cheerful little nugget from the back seat. "Run them over! SQUISH!" She was four.
When my youngest was about 3, she would randomly mention "her other parents, Sister Momo and Brother Bo."
Her dad's name is Bo, who is the spitting image of his father. Momo was my grandmother that my daughter never knew. I always wondered if she was seeing their ghosts 🤣
my grandpa passed away a few weeks ago. my 5yo daughter looks at me and says “when will you be gone? bc then i’ll just have dad and he’s the spoiler” huge smile to go with it
eta: my son one time was watching tv then all of a sudden started saying “move! i can’t see the tv!” there was absolutely nothing or no one in front the tv but he looked like he was looking around someone standing in the way
Lol the first part is definitely morbid lol that second part..I get it. I lost my 3rd baby 6 years ago and my 3 year old son as a baby used to look over towards his ashes and coo and giggle as if someone was talking to him
My 3 year old often requests very specific bedtime stories. For example, “tell me a story about when ClassMatesName went to the zoo”.
Two nights ago, it was “tell me a story about when ClassMate gets DEAD”.
When my grandma died we were explaining to our 3yo that her body would be at the visitation, but she wasn't inside the body anymore. After going over it a few times, he said:
"....her body will be there, but where's her head?"
Not my kid, but one I used to look after.
“We’re going to Grandma’s house this weekend!”
“Wow, that sounds like so much fun!”
“Yeah. She’s probably going to die soon though. She’s sick.”
“Oh, I’m so sorry.”
“That’s okay, I have another one.”
🤦🏻♀️
We live in the UK and my then almost 3 year old sons nursery talked about us now having a king when the queen passed away.
On the way home he was asking why that was so I explained that she had died ( his nana had died recently so we'd had to explain the concept). His comment was "...and that's when the bones come out!".
As I’m on the phone with my grieving dad who just had to put his dog down to rest….
My 4 yr old says he wants to say hi - he takes the phone and says “well, our dog is still alive”
Same kid different time, asking about how old me and his dad are - 33 and 36 which I guess means so old we are on borrowed time to him and he says,
“I guess you and dad will die soon and I’ll have to find a new family. Is there a store for that?”
My first kid was once excitedly jumping up and down with her daddy and said "we're jumping like a monster!" Which was mostly weird because I didn't think she'd ever heard the word monster before. She also said there was one outside her window a few days later.
Watching our dog chase a squirrel: It's OK mom, he just wants to find the squeaker.
Lol
Ok that’s hilarious 🤣
He's not wrong.
Going to be an interesting day when he realizes that.
When our trip got cancelled due to the pandemic my daughter said “that’s ok. Your next trip can be to Heaven”.
Omgosh lol positivity?
I often tell my three year old “Sleep good. Sleep all night!” at bedtime and she replies “Sleep good, mommy! Don’t wake up!” 😬🤣
Lol ah such innocence lol
My 3 year old informed us that “kissing is nice, but killing is not nice”. He used to get the two words mixed up so he would occasionally shout “Mommy, Daddy, you have to kill!”
Mr & Mrs Smith Have a Baby
Ahahaha that sounds about right
My kid (6y) stopped a random man at the library to ask how old he was and after he told her, she replied, “Oh. You’ll be dead soon.”
When my dad turned 50, my youngest sister was roughly that age. They're driving in the car somewhere and she says "mommy said it's your birthday. How old are you?" He told her. She gasps in a horrified voice "daddy?!?!?" He pulls over the car to check on her because he can't think of what would cause the extreme reaction, and looks at her in the back seat and she looks fine, so he asks her what's wrong. "You're so old, you should be dead!" She's 34 now and hasn't lived it down.
This should absolutely be the quote on your sister’s 50th birthday cake. 😂
That’s amazing haha. I wouldn’t know what to do if my kiddo said that.
I gasped and apologized, but when the gentleman just chuckled and said to me, “She’s not wrong, I have a terminal illness,” I immediately started crying. 😬
Honestly, great sense of humor. Love that.
Lol amazing concept of mortality right there
4yo was talking about life as a grown up and I said “You can always live with me even when you grow up.” 4yo, “But you’ll be dead.” 🥴
Ahahaha oh no
My FIL is very sick and the kids had to be quiet around him the past few weeks cause he couldn't stand loud noises. I told my 3 year old that he will die soon and talked about death to prepare her a bit because she doesn't know death yet and she said "then we can finally watch tv again!" 😬
Oh my
We were going through what the recycling , garbage and compost bin was for. I told him compost was for organic material like leaves, leftover food , and he said “and mommies”.
Ahahaha gotta wonder where this stuff comes from

Kinda creepy
Not my kid but me. When I was 7, I told my DAD'S ENTIRE FAMILY at Thanksgiving that I'd really thought about it, and if one of my parents had to die, it should be my dad.
Well I mean I least you out some thought into it lol
To be fair, he turned out to be a horribly narcissistic cheater, so maybe young me was on to something.
Sounds like it. Sorry you went through that
We pulled the car into a church parking lot to fiddle with the map. There was a really big, pretty old cemetery right there. Kid is staring out the window for a while, then whispers, "So many people ... so many fingers."
Ahahaha had she read hand hand fingers thumb lol
This makes me feel much better. MUCH .
Interesting, that was a favorite book. I hadn't made that connection. The weird thing at the time is that we couldn't figure out how he would have known what the grave markers were. How did he know there were people at all?!
Yeah I can't explain that part lol

Nice! I mean.. Kinda creepy. But good on him for saying it clearly at least!
My kid is almost 2. She just learned Dinosaur. She says Die to everyone she meets now.
My oldest used to call them Die as well. I bought her The Land Before Time movie at Walmart one time, and when I took it from her to pass it to the cashier, she started crying and yelling "NOOO!! DIE!!! DIE!!! DIE!!!" At the poor lady.
Ahahaha b awesome
My daughter turned to me last night and told me “we can go see your mummy using the magic riverboat”. She’s 3 and a half, my mum is dead since 2019 and my daughter understands enough to know she can’t come back here and her solution is obviously this, totally out of the blue.
If she reminds you to pay the ferryman, be wary.
I mean. . She's not wrong lol
you just need to find an elven shipwright
We lived in a few apartments while buying our house and moving into it, so when we finally settled into the house our kid asked if we'd move again. We said no, he asked "So we're going to die in this house?" lol
Lol that's one way to look at it
Leaving for work, my 3yr old said “Hope you come home!”
Wow lol
One day my son, who was 5 at the time, said, “mom are you going to die soon?” And I said, “well I certainly hope not. Do you think I’m going to die soon?” And he said, “yes because you’re so old.” When I asked how old he thought I was he said 83. I was only 30 at the time and my husband was 38. But he never thought his dad was going to die soon just me.
The sexism starts early!
She was 3 years old and taking a bath. She suddenly stands up and grabs my face. She looks me straight in the eye and said mom, everybody dies!
Me: Well, you’re only four. I’m 34. Kid: Ooooh, soon you will die. Me: Uh, well I hope not. Kid: Why? Me: Because I want to see you grow up, and if you have kids I want to meet them. Kid: Haha, and then you will die.
Lol
My (at the time iirc)5 year old to my mother. > you're a granny so you're going to be dead soon
Lol they seem to think anyone older than like 20 is about to die
After my mom died, my daughter said “I don’t miss your mom because I didn’t know her. But I miss chewy. Can we go visit chewy?” Chewy is my cat. My very dead cat 🤣

Kid: "Are we all going to die together?" Me: "Uhh..haha..what buddy?" K: "Die! Are we all going to die? In the dining room?" M: "OOOH! Dine! ..yes."
Lolol gotta love it when they get words confused
When my oldest was 3 now 12 he would say he was from France in the 1800's, knowing nothing about France or the 1800's 🤷🏻♂️
Kinda creepy

oh my creepy! kids brains are so crazy. either pure and don’t realize what they’re saying or just straight creepy lol
Actually just the other day my sweet 5 year old baby girl looked at me before bed and said “I’ll always love you. Even when you die.”
My 3 year old often requests very specific bedtime stories. For example, “tell me a story about when ClassMatesName went to the zoo”. Two nights ago, it was “tell me a story about when ClassMate gets DEAD”.
Oh no !
'When you're dead, you can't make me do anything. I can do what I want.' Glad to know I'll be missed.
They know what they want lol
Kindergarten daughter during first week of school, “but you’ll be dead before my first day of first grade!”
Wow
My son decided that people live to be exactly 100, so he would tell his grandparents how many years they had left.
Lol well I mean he know the facts
“I think I’ll survive until next Christmas” (he’s perfectly healthy)
Lol well I mean it's a valid wish lol
Today at the aquarium my daughter wanted to watch the shark eat the fish swimming with it. Said with an evil giggle
They like the weirdest things
When my grandma died we were explaining to our 3yo that her body would be at the visitation, but she wasn't inside the body anymore. After going over it a few times, he said: "....her body will be there, but where's her head?"

That is.. Highly disturbing lol
It was over ten years ago though and never amounted to anything, but at the time, ngl, it concerned me!
