Babble Talk: Now This You Don't Hear Every Day

Posted by Jen Chaney

Many of the quotes added to our Kids Say the Cutest Things feature make me smile. Every once in a while, they provoke an "awww" response. But only the rarest actually makes me laugh out loud. Recently I found one that did just that. And here it is: 

Writes the parent: "While shopping in Ikea, my 3-year-old daughter picked up a cheese grater and said, 'Well, you don't see this everyday.'"

One of two things is going on with this kid. Either a., her family genuinely never grates cheddar, swiss or Havarti, in which case she is merely speaking the truth. Which is still kinda funny. Or option b.: at the age of 3, she already has an incredibly well-developed sense of irony.

I prefer the latter option, which makes me think there is no telling what sort of gems this girl will come up with by the time she hits the age of 5 or 6.

Does your child also bust out some comedy classics while shopping at Ikea, maybe a gutbuster about their Swedish meatballs or the fact that they actually sell a bed called Sniglar? Then add them to our Kids Say the Cutest Things feature and let the LOLing continue.

you forgot option c...that, being an Ikea product, the wonderful scandinavian designers created a cheese grater that was completely unrecognizable for what it truly was :)
