Why Does That Man Have A Knife?
[ranking: 1]
When my son was about 4 or 5, we were in the toilet before his bedtime and he was brushing his teeth, and he dropped his tooth brush and I picked it up for him and when my eyes met him he just stared at me and said, "Dad, why does that man have a knife?" and pointed behind me. Quickest 180 I've ever ... done.

You'll See Grandma Tomorrow
[ranking: 2]
My Grandma [passed because] of cancer in February 2012. My whole family was up at my Grandparent's house to comfort each other. The night before her prayer service, my 4-year-old cousin told my heartbroken Grandpa, "Good night Grandpa. Don't be so sad. You'll see Grandma tomorrow." We all heard and assumed she meant at the prayer service, but he [passed] the next morning.

Where The Passed Babies Go
[ranking: 3]
A good friend of mine and her husband bought what is considered an "old" house around here. (Western Canada...not many houses over 100 years old). They were renovating the basement one day while I was visiting. I was down there alone with their son, who was barely 2 at the time, and could not yet speak in full sentences. He took my hand and led me over to a brick chimney-like thing, with a rusty metal door on it. He looked up and said 'That's where the [passed] babies go."
I was horrified. Firstly, because, like I said, the kid could barely talk, let alone say something like that. I doubt he even knew what "[passed]" meant. I'm positive that no one would have told him that, and there were no older kids around that would have said that as a joke. Still creeps me out to this day.

Mommy, Who's That?
[ranking: 4]
My daughter and I woke up one morning and we usually lay there and talk for a while before we get up. I'm laying facing the wall with my back towards the door. My daughter is talking and facing me, pauses, and asks, "Mommy, who's that?" And points behind me. I didn't know whether to turn around or just let whoever was about to [slay] me do it while I wasn't looking. I turned around and no one was there. Scariest moment of my life.

The Corpse In The Closet
[ranking: 5]
When my daughter was around 4 or 5, we lived in a house that had been converted into three separate apartments. We lived in the basement portion. Because of the way they converted the house, there was a small recessed area under one of the stairways that formed a small closet/storage space in her room. One night while she was getting ready for bed I overheard her talking to someone in her room. I poked my head in and asked if she was calling for me. Her words ?? "No. I was talking to the little boy who lives in my closet... He's [not alive]." Insta-chills.

How Did You Get Out Of Your Box?
[ranking: 9]
I passed out reading my 3 year old niece a book at bedtime. Then, woke up around 2am and sat up. It was dark and silent. There was a nightlight on that gave my niece's face a Rembrandt lighting effect. She had her eyes wide open looking at me and whispered... "How did you get out of your box?"

Man With The Snake Neck
[ranking: 10]
While changing my daughter in front of the open closet door. She kept looking around me and laughing. I asked her what was so funny. She said, "the man." To which I replied, "What man?" She then pointed at the closet and said, "The man with the snake neck." I turn around and nothing was there. I'm afraid to look into the history of my house to see if anyone hung themselves in the closet. At least she wasn't scared.

Chewing On Bones
[ranking: 16]
My 3-year-old son generally has a happy-go-lucky attitude, so this is pretty odd.
Sometimes when he's cuddling with his mommy, he'll say, very seriously, "Mom, I promise I won't ever chew on your bones. I promise."
Absolutely no idea where he got this.

I'd Eat Children
[ranking: 20]
When my 2.5-year-old and her friend were hanging out, the topic of T-Rex and other dinos came up. I asked her friend:
"If you were a T-Rex, what would you do for fun? "
He answered: "I'd chase herbivores!"
I then asked my daughter this question:
"If you were a T-Rex, what would you eat? "
She got very serious and looked me right in the eyes and said:
"Children. I'd eat children"

I Want To Peel All Your Skin Off
[ranking: 25]
I was sound asleep, and at around 6am I was woken up by my 4-year-old daughter's face inches from mine. She looked right into my eyes and whispered, "I want to peel all your skin off."
The backstory here is I had been sunburned the previous week, and was starting to peel. In my sleep addled state however, it was pretty terrifying for a few seconds. I didn't know if I was dreaming, or what was going on.

Shhhhhhhhhh...

Not me, but a friend of mine snores a bit loudly, and at the time, her daughter would occasionally sleep in the same bed with her. One night she wakes up to her daughter hovering over her with a pillow going "Shhhhhhhhhh..." and trying to put the pillow over her face. Apparently she was snoring quite loudly that evening.

Why Don't You Just Set Her On Fire?
[ranking: 29]
So my mother-in-law and I were talking about her cat and how it needed to be put down because of how sick she is. My son walks up an says, "Why don't you just set her on fire?" After a serious talk, it came out that's how he thought cremation worked. He didn't realize the person/animal needed to be [deceased] already and there was a special process.
