To find kid's innocence incredibly cute?

[genuineidiot]

A family friend told me this story the other day:

Her and her family were looking after 2 young kids (7 and 9). This friend I am referring to is just 14 years old.

She told me that they were sitting at the dinner table and the 7 year old suddenly came out with: "X, you're 14, that means you know everything right"?
Friend said: "No, I wish I did but no one does".
Kid said: "But my mummy knows everything. She told me that".

AIBU to find this incredibly cute? What is the cutest most innocent thing your DC has ever asked you?

DS (3): Dinosaurs are not real, they're just bones

Me: Yes, they used to be real animals a long, long time ago, but now they are just bones...

DS: Yes. A long, long time ago, when I was two, I see'ed REAL dinosaurs. I ACTUALLY see'ed TWO of them.

My DD saw daddy coming out of the bathroom in his undies (she'd sneaked out bed when she woke up)
She pointed to his bits and said 'daddy have you poo pooed'
😂😂😂

I once had a long and confusing conversation with my son about why he didn't want to go to school and it turned out that he had misheard and was really worried about having to go in for the 'hardest' festival. He was only in reception and thought that they should make it easier for his class.

Aw, my DS used to ask me to turn off the wind too!

Driving past the Women's Hospital, I pointed it out to the children, saying " that's where you were born". DS looks at DD, then looks all folorn, and says "where was I born, Mummy? Where is the men's hospital?"

Gitterspatkles My DD also did similar when she saw her dad getting out of the bath. " Daddy you have a poo there ." DH and I collapsed in hysterics !!!.We do occasionally remind her of this now she is a teen.

I always remember a year R child that I taught many years ago...
While doing a self portrait she was just staring in to space. I asked her what she was thinking about and she said “I'm not thinking - I'm trying to see what colour my eyes are!” Gorgeous.

Or the time, one bonfire night, the same child did this beautiful picture of a bonfire but there was a browny/ red dog on the top... “No, it's a fox! Guy Fox - you said they burn him on the top!” (Obviously I wasn't on top teaching form THAT day!!)

I'd had the flu recently and my 2.5 year had picked up that I'd had a fever and my forehead had been hot. One night a few days later, he didn't want to go to sleep and was trying it on so said with one hand on his brow,
"Mummy, eyebrows hot, need Calpol" 🙄🙈

DD was wearing a dress with a hood today, she kept referring to the hood as a roof "I want my roof OFF, mummy" Love kids!

Dh asked if I could get me some antiperspirant, ds 'who is aunty perspirant?'

Ds 'can I have a turn on the medicine?' After much questioning we worked out he meant the tablet!

I made my 3 yr old DD Mary Berry's 'Heavenly Chocolate Cake' for her birthday. She overheard me referring to it by this name and asked, 'Is that because it's God's favourite cake?'

DS is almost 3 and a few months ago had an almighty tantrum while asking for the "noisy wires" it took us forever to realise he meant earphones

Still makes me smile, 6 years later. She’s not so cute now and not so pleased with too small shoes!

You mean she's still wearing them, Duchess??

Slightly older kids, but we were watching The Taming of the Shrew at the theatre, and about two thirds of the way through, my DD leaned over and very earnestly whispered 'when's the mole coming out, Mum?'

In s chemist picking up my nans prescription for her my 3 year old spots the lovely colourful packets of condoms...

Ds: Mummy, nanny needs them
Me: no she doesn’t we just need her medicine
Ds: no mummy she really does she told me so
(Me trying not to die in the chemist as he’s getting an audience)
Ds: Mummy nanny needs them she really does she likes purple
Me: no she really does not
Chemist: (trying his hardest not to laugh) here you go

I swiftly left and have never returned

Found DT1 with his hand on a very cross DT2's forehead once.
He was taking his brother's 'temper'

Loving these....

When DD was little she had roller skates for Xmas. She couldn't wait to get outside and put on her coat and gloves, shouting

"Mummy I can't find my elbow helmets"

obviously she meat elbow pads!

Oh and butterflies were always butterpillers

Melts your heart....

My son was 2 and I was heavily pregnant. I would take advantage of nap time and lay down with him for a rest. We were facing each other, and were hugging with his little arm across my enormous stomach. He was quiet for quite a while, and just when I thought he was asleep, he said, "Mummy, you're HUGE."

My pre school niece drew a lovely picture for me, full of totally recognisable things.
I was admiring it saying "I like this house, I like these trees etc... But what are these?" pointing at a neat row of little lines pointing in various directions.
"that writing" she said proudly
"what does it say" I asked
"I don't know , I can't read yet" she replied

So glad I started this thread now made my day!

Ds aged about 2 seeing a lady in a white headscarf .. 'look mummy, it's an astronaut'

Cat2014 - that is hilarious!!!

My SIL recently had twins and my DD aged nearly three said 'Auntie x has two babies doesn't she' thought for a moment 'she needs to put one back'.

My little girl & I were walking down a steep hill, she was about 4, she suggested we sit on our bottoms and slide down it to save our legs!

Penguin - Awwwww. I can't say I never thought that myself a few times though

Sickofkidsprogrammes - OMG, kids referred to in the OP used to love doing that too!

Dd3 (then 6) was colouring in (can't remember what) and asked what colour she should do something. I said "I'd just leave it" meaning leave it white. She contemplates this for a few moments, then asks "what colour is leavit?"
A friend's DD said she'd been sick out of her bum (diarrhoea)
When asked if anyone knew what a comedian was at school, dd1 piped up "someone who lives in Canada"
