My little sister asked me to tell her a bedtime story and seeing as we didn’t have any books on hand, I decided to come up with one on the spot. All in all it consisted of a princess no one could find, not even every prince in the land. A princess decides to look for the lost princess and eventually finds her. They realize the lost princess has no recollection of her life before and that only true loves kiss could bring the memories back due to the spell on her mind. The princess kisses the lost princess and they live happily ever after. After I finished my story, my little sister (who’s only 4) asks, “girls can marry girls?” To which I responded “yes” and she gets quiet for a minute and then she just goes, “GROSS” And I, being a not-straight individual, asked what was so gross, expecting some “girls can’t marry girls because thats gross” type of answer that she may have picked up by someone that’s disapproving. She looks at me and goes “Marrying someone. Marriage is GROSS, LEXI” and I just looked at her and said “ya know what, you right, can’t argue that”
I love three year olds because they’ll never say it to your face but it’s clear in every fibre of their being that they’re certain that their communications skills are perfect, and any adults who can’t understand what they want are just a little bit stupid.
Oh to have the confidence of a 3 year old insisting they’re called “pig newtons”
Okay but the thing is that she is… right? I means he’s not, but she’s exactly as right as the idea that our reflections are “back to front”. Which is a thing people say to kids all the time to explain the reflection’s reverse image. The idea that the reflection is reversed vertically (”upside down”) is exactly as correct as the idea that it’s reversed horizontally (your right hand = reflection’s left hand). So if you’ve ever explained that phenomenon to her then she’s exactly as right as you were. (You’re both technically wrong.)
Oh I just remember when I was like 6 and I had a huge argument with my mom because I wanted to write on a worksheet that my eyes were hazel (they’re brown) and I just INSISTED upon it and WOULD NOT back down
It wasn’t that I was doing it because I WANTED hazel eyes, even. I didn’t even know what “hazel” meant.
i was told that i look very old. and when i asked them how old i look, the kid told me 7… im 23!
The 4yo, understanding that the new chainsaw is very dangerous and not to be touched and for big people only, asked if she can use the chainsaw when she is six.
When my niece was turning 3 she INSISTED she was actually turning 4. Insisted so adamantly that she had her AUNTS questioning if they missed a year somehow (this was before Covid, btw) and agreeing that she MUST be turning 4. They just got it wrong.
My GD 3yo niece had GASLIT HER AUNTS into believing she was legit 4 instead of 3!!!!
(When I called her on it, she started doubling down in the cutest way: Me: “No, you’re 3 not 4.” Her: “I’m 4!” Me: “Nope. You’re 3.” Her: “I’m 5!” Me (laughing): “No. You are 3.” Her: “6!”
I gave up before she tried telling me she was 21 )
