Sometimes, kids can be wise beyond their years.
Every once in a while, a child will make a profound observation that leaves the people around him or her floored. Kids' simple yet honest advice can help stop adults from overthinking things, and their words often remind us to pay attention to what truly matters in life.
Other times, though, kids, quite simply, say the darnedest things.
Seriously — when I was a youngster, I tried to convince my family members that dragons were real simply because I had a book about them. There were pictures in said book, so that was evidence, right? Well, let's just say the story still gets brought up to this day.
Reddit users shared these 11 tales of kids who thought they were being totally logical when speaking to the adults around them, with their reasoning resulting in some pretty priceless one-liners. I bet these kids' parents will be reminding them of these hysterical stories for many years to come!
