What in the world is going on here?
Kids are an endless source of amusing material. What started as an email draft of the funny stuff my kids said has morphed into this website, and now my vision is to have submissions from parents all over the world. As of this writing, my kids have provided the basis for more than half of the posted material. However, the number of contributors is rising and I’m hoping to have output of several new quotes a day once my quote lists ‘dry up’.
Kids say funny stuff at all ages of course, but ages 2-5 tend to yield the most surprises. Their observations vary from razor sharp to blissfully unaware. And because they lack the filters required by our boring adult life, the honesty kids possess yields truths that are equal parts touching and tactless.
Obviously, most of these quotes wouldn't be funny if they were muttered by a teenager. Some, sure, but not all of them. Most of my kids’ quotes were said when they were roughly 2-4 years old. As part of my early quote list, I would typically note what they said and when they said it. However I’ve made a decision to keep the ages of the kids off most of the quotes for a few reasons:
1. Space limitations;
2. People that read the raw quotes never considered the ages terribly important;
3. I’d like to hope anyone keeping track of their kids’ quotes is clever enough to know when something is funny, all things being considered. That my daughter thought her ‘barricade’ was a ‘bear cage’ was funny when she was 3 and didn’t know any better. That age may vary for some kids. Heck, it varies for some adults too.
So please, keep records of the funny things your kids say because you'll love reading them years later, and they will too (trust me). And if you feel like sharing any of the quotes with us, please do! We will always credit whomever submitted the quotes unless told to do otherwise.
So let's hope this silly little idea can turn into something bigger. Please submit your quotes to kqsubmissions@gmail.com if you'd like to be part of this experiment, or head straight over to the CONTACT PAGE. Our only request is that any submitted quote be 100% genuine with no embellishments. Thanks for reading and let's have some fun!
