One of the best things about childhood is its sheer randomness. Yet uncorrupted by society and its rules, kids can get away with doing most things, including saying anything that comes to their mind. Lucky for us, this often results in funny and unexpected sentences that are just too good not to share.
Recently, adults in this online thread were doing exactly that—posting the most hilarious and weirdest things a child has said to them. Fancy a laugh? All you have to do is scroll down and giggle at the #nofilter wisdom these kids shared with grown people.
While you're at it, don't forget to check out a conversation with the person who started this discussion and child psychologists Dr. Annie McNeill, Dr. Sophie Pierce, and Stephanie Nova Fields, Ph.D., who kindly agreed to answer why kids often blurt out such comedic things.

I had a kid that couldn't be older than six ask to fight me while standing in line at the movies. I told him "no thanks," and that seemed to be an acceptable response.

My kid is 4 and we were talking about space. In space, there are asteroids, planets, and black holes.
He misunderstood and confidently said "there are butts in space".

Briefly worked as a volunteer at a pre-school (ages 3-5) and I was sitting helping a couple of the kids put a puzzle together and one of them randomly said, “Can I rap for you?” I was surprised but thought how bad could it be? He then proceeded to rap while his buddy attempted to beatbox.

There was something stuck in the headphone port of my phone, so I tried to suck it out, which worked. Some kid then asked me why I was trying to vape from my phone.

My kids were getting in the car when my daughter (7) elbowed my son (5) between the legs, conversation went as follows…
Son: ow my peanuts!
Me: your what?
Daughter: his peanuts
Me: what’s that?
Daughter: it’s another name for winky that I heard at school.
I didn’t correct them as it’s just too funny.

Years ago I had a goatee and moustache combo. My cousins 7 year old daughter told me that my mouth looked like a v*gina. At the time I was just "um, okay". Though now I find it a funny story.

I work in a school, so I hear amazingly ridiculous things every day, but the best one I’ve ever heard still goes to a girl called Vanessa in science when I was at high school.
The teacher was explaining the theory of the Big Bang. Vanessa’s hand shoots up to ask a question, the teacher says “yes?”
And Vanessa says staring at the ceiling in what looked like deep thought “so… is that what killed the dinosaurs?”.
