Parents Shared The Creepiest Things Their Kids Have Ever Said
Children regularly say adorable, hilarious things. But it’s no coincidence that some of the scariest movies feature kids ― they’re tiny, but they can be truly terrifying.
Writer Mikki Kendall asked the people of Twitter to share “the single weirdest/creepiest thing” they’ve heard kids say.
People who interact with kids, what is the single weirdest/creepiest thing a kid has ever said to you? It's Saturday night so why not creep yourself out? pic.twitter.com/6pK92nOkmG

There were plenty of scary responses from teachers, aunts and uncles, but it was obviously the parents of Twitter who really delivered the goods. Keep scrolling for some intensely spooky kid quotes, courtesy of their dear old moms and dads.
So many to choose from, but it would have to be the day sitting on my sofa, heard a scratching noise meant to get my attention, looked up, and saw this: pic.twitter.com/uI5XQiFUjl

My son, at five years old:
"Daddy, I'm gonna eat you up."
"Awwww...."
"Yeah, I'm gonna cut you into little pieces."

My daughter was about 5 when she says you’re the best mommy I ever had. I said I’m the only mommy you’ve ever had. She looks at me and says no your the 3rd one but I like you the best😳

Walking with my 2-yo in a cemetery by our house. She says “mommy, who is that man in the red jacket by the stone house?” She pointed to a mausoleum. There was no one else in the cemetery. “He’s waving at me!” She waved back. “He’s coming over to talk!”

I was hiking alone in the woods with my son who was 7. It was eerie quiet. Out of nowhere he says “The woods demand a sacrifice.”

My daughter told me that the “place” she was in before she was born had a bunch of babies waiting to be born. Except they aren’t babies there. “They’re all 5 and they pick their mom and then they go in her tummy”.

This was my first.
At the store. We'd had a nice day, picnic at the park.
Suddenly, he grabs my hand, squeezes REAL HARD and says, "Mama when you die, I'm gonna make a little-you so I can keep you always. Like with your skin, and eyes, but probly not your insides." All smiles.— gin. (@showupforthis) January 28, 2018
Oh one of my kiddos drew a picture of an airplane and then said “all the people in the airplane are trapped.” I said...what?! She then drew orange flames everywhere and red blood anywhere else and said they had all died and no one would ever find them.

When my daughter was 2 I found her under the table with one of my husband’s old children’s books, turning pages as if she were being read to. I asked her what she was doing. She said “reading with Grandma” my husband’s mother died two years before she was born. It was her book.

My mom went upstairs for a nap. My middle son asked her if she was happy she’d be seeing Jesus soon.

My 20-month old son, in a strong British accent, said "Mother, I'm VERY cross with you." We are not British and have no friends with that accent.

When my twins were born one of them took longer to talk. When she did start it was in fluent Spanish. Which we don’t speak at home. Nor does anyone who had come into contact with her at that time.

When my niece was 7, she asked us why we were keeping all the dead grandmas in the attic.
Then she laughed.— Mean Fat Girl 🏳️🌈💄 (@Artists_Ali) January 28, 2018
