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'?

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?

7. This kid isn’t about that comfy clothes life.
Me: Please get dressed.

Me: I AM dressed.
9yo: Is that what you're calling [waves palm at me] this?— Kim Bongiorno (@LetMeStart) September 1, 2016
8. Mom’s gonna need some ice for that burn.

9. This kid has their priorities in order.
4-year-old: Can we get a kitten?

12. Just zero, mom.
Me: "How many kisses do you need from me?"
3yo: "Probably just zero."— ReasonsMySonIsCrying (@ReasonsMySonCry) March 16, 2015
13. Mom needs a drink after this one.
Daughter: "You need to fix my hair before we go." Son: "You don't have to look nice. Look at mom. See?" #kidhonesty #parentingprobs

Her: "YOU'RE not very stable!"#kidburn
