Babble Talk: Kids Say the Most Violent Things

Posted by Jen Chaney

When teaching our children the difference between bad and good, sometimes we have to be careful that they don't push things a little too far. You know, take matters into their own hands and turn into baby vigilantes.

Which brings me to the quote of the day from Kids Say the Cutest Things, the Babble feature that literally borrows online content from the mouths of babes. Young Declan asks his mom, "Mommy, are burglars mean? Are they bad?" And she responds: "Yes, they are bad, because they steal things from people." So Declan asks...

"So that means we should hit a burglar with with something hard if we see one, right?"

Now I am not saying Declan is going to go all rogue and start attacking home invaders, especially when he has his mom to set him straight. But I am saying that if someone breaks into my house, Declan is just the sort of third-year-old I'd want to have watching my back.

Has your child said something funny/adorable/rebellious lately? Add his or her quote to Kids Say the Cutest Things and let that kid's pithiness shine.
