I don’t care what anyone says, children are little savages. Sure, they play all sweet and cute to lure you in and then, when you least expect it, they strike. At least, that’s what happened to each of these unsuspecting parents who were roasted into oblivion by their little ones.
1. This kid knew an insult when he heard one.
Me to my son: You remind me of me.
Son: That's just mean.— Jim Gaffigan (@JimGaffigan) August 16, 2016
2. This little girl called it like she saw it.
My 6yo daughter just caught me getting out of the shower.
"It looks like a minion!"

3. This 6-year-old knows how wrinkles work.
6yo: Mommy, when you get older will you look all gross?
Me: What do you mean, 'gross'?
6yo: Like how you are now, but wrinklier.

5. This kiddo doesn’t care for mom’s cooking.
Me: We all make mistakes.
5: Even you?
Me: Yep
5: Oh yeah! Like when you're trying to cook food that tastes good but then it doesn't?— Lurkin' Mom (@LurkAtHomeMom) April 15, 2016
6. This very aware 10-year-old keeps it real.
10: Mom what's a metaphor?
Me: My life is a train wreck.
10: I know Mom, but what is a metaphor?

8. Mom’s gonna need some ice for that burn.
Words still resounding in my head since breakfast, 'Look! It's a picture of Mama before she got saggy..' #honestyofchildren 😕

9. This kid has their priorities in order.
4-year-old: Can we get a kitten?
Me: I'm allergic. We can't be in the same house.
4: You could sleep outside.

13. Mom needs a drink after this one.

Me "ugh I ate a lot today…"
Payton "it's not just today mom." #KidsAreTooHonest— L. Svanda (@lvalencsin) August 22, 2017
17. This kid should probably go into psychiatry.
Me to my 5-yr-old, balancing precariously on a stool: "Be careful – that's not very stable!"
Her: "YOU'RE not very stable!"#kidburn
