We may have posted our epic burns for 2025, but that list was apparently incomplete. We failed to include the young kids who adorably roasted their parents and had them post their interactions online.
It all began with a woman’s post on the Toddlers subreddit, in which her young daughter told her she is “not pretty” and that she looks “like a man.” Other parents shared their own experiences, from tiny tots telling their moms to get their eyebrows done to kids fat-shaming their parents in the most hilarious ways.
These remarks were so adorable that, as a parent, how could you even get offended at that? Scroll down to read more.

My son was like 1.5y and I was singing him a lullaby. He put his finger in my mouth and said “off.”.

The thing is, I don’t think children think it’s “bad” to be not pretty, or not skinny etc. For them, it’s as factual as the day being cold. It’s neither good or bad. And I think that innocence and honesty is special for this age.
All that said, my toddler said “cactus” while rubbing my leg.

I asked my son to say “mama” and instead he said “mooooo.” This happened about 5 times before I decided to just stop asking.

My son likes to slap my belly and say “wow it’s so soft and big”. 😮💨
He also was playing doctor with me and lifted my shirt to look at my belly button, shook his head and said “uh oh. That’s not good”.
So. There’s that 😵💫🤣🤣.

My 6 yo recently admitted to me that my stomach makes her uncomfortable and makes her think I’m ugly. It’s a little fat and there’s extra skin, I’m 3 months pp with my third kiddo. I told her my tummy was like that because of her and her brothers. My body changed to grow her. I did let her know it was a hurtful thing to say. I was pretty hurt because it was a little slap in the face. I was incredibly fit before I got pregnant with her. She has since told me I’m the most beautiful mommy. I think she realized how not ok what she said was. Kids have weird feelings and thoughts and it’s ok to feel upset when they say something mean.

My three year old told me my head looked like a potato the other week. Thanks babe. They’re glorious but savage and tbh I think it might even have been a compliment because he does really like potatoes. .

The other day our 2.5 said, “dada is handsome!” And my husband followed up with, “thanks baby! And momma is gorgeous!” And she said, “no. Just dada handsome.” K thanks but you have my face so jokes on you I guess.

My 2.5 year old waits for me to get ready and ask her how am I looking. She then ceremoniously declares that I am looking bad.
The first couple of times I felt a little heartbroken but realised she is teasing me. It's a little game where I chase her now and she will finally tell me that no no you are looking Pwetty.
We can't do that to her though. We have to declare right away that she is looking like a princess.

I got my eyebrows tinted and they made them a little dark, my nephew told me my eyebrows looked burned. I said oh well I went to the salon to have them make my eyebrows look nice, and he goes “ohhh but they didn’t.”.

For me the most offensive was when he pointed to the moon at the start of the Hungry Caterpillar and said “mama” 😂 .

My 2y old has a peppa pig figurine set. The other day she brought me the dada pig and said “looks like mama!” Can’t tell if it’s because she thinks I’m fat, have a beard, wear glasses, or all of the above!

My son was lovingly rubbed my partner’s head, and said “baldy”
I can neither confirm nor deny where he learned that word… 🤐.
