Children make us really happy, but sometimes they do things that we have no idea how to react to. They can be funny, they can show their unusual views of the world, and they sometimes even tell detective stories. The website “Children Talk” has a huge collection of these stories and we collected the best ones for this article.
We at Gain Tip had a lot of fun reading these stories and we really want to share some of them with you. The bonus will show you what optimism really looks like. And if you’ve had something like this happen to you, tell us in the comment section below.

Last week, I was walking with my niece (4 years old). On the playground, she met a boy who was her age. They were playing, talking, and laughing. When we went home, she said, “Thank God, I found a guy.” © Molnia

— Mom, what are your favorite flowers?
— I like lilies, and also daisies.
— Show me what they look like.
I’m looking for a photo and my son continues:
— When you’re dead, I’ll bring them to your grave.
I had no idea what to say. This was definitely an unusual way for him to show he cares. © CoffeeTree / Pikabu

A boy, who was about 6 years old, was having a conversation with his dad:
Dad: Don’t go into the puddle — your feet will get soaked. Look both ways, or a car might hit you. Don’t climb the fence, you might fall. Don’t jump off the deck, you’ll break your leg.
The boy: Dad, you are a coward! © Family

My child brings home a new toy car from kindergarten. I ask him:

Ann (4 years old) asks me:
— Have you found a job?
— Not yet.
— You’re doing it wrong. I’ll teach you. You take me to the kindergarten and Ashley’s mother takes her there too. Then, she goes to work. You can follow her and she’ll take you to work too! © Catherine

My son invites me to eat cereal with him. I refuse because I want to lose weight to look beautiful. And he is sincerely surprised:
— Mom, you should wear a neckless to be beautiful, not lose weight.

We went to the store and parked our car under a tree. While we were in the store, some birds who were hanging out in the tree left some “presents” on the roof and the hood of our car. Because of this, I had to go to the car wash. After washing it, my son looked at the car and said,
— So, the birds are going to look at the car and say, “We did all the poop and it was all for nothing!” © Panaramix

Dad: We should make our son try red caviar and we’ll let him watch cartoons in return.

Daughter: Dad, don’t go. Please, don’t go!
Me: I’m going to work.

Me, lost: What exactly will your job be?
She, looking embarrassed: I will be… My dad’s sweetheart. © cat

My 6-year-old son and I were looking at a scene where a 7-year-old girl was lying on the floor, begging her mother to buy something. My son asked me:
— Mom, is she stupid?
I said,
— Yes, honey.
The daughter’s mother yelled at me, “You’re stupid!” And my son said that now he knows that genes matter. © tuktuk5999 / Twitter
