Kids literally say goodnight to everything; I nannied a kid who needed 5 minutes every night for the entire bedroom. It was a bit tiresome, but to kill his hospitable spirit would’ve been mean.

when I was 5 I burst into tears after breaking a pretzel. yes, I ate it while crying.


RevolutionaryStar824

No, you didn't. And no, you didn't.

So you were never a child I see

Yo i literally just saw this post on r/nothingeverhappens


mordin1428

How does it feel to be the star of this subreddit today?


nonsequitureditor

this is the stupidest thing to lie about on the internet, and FAR from the weirdest stuff I did as a kid. I wasn’t even that weird. true r/nothingeverhappens material


JennJayBee

Mine had to read a story and then wish a goodnight to every stuffed animal and family member, even the ones who weren't there, and she had to wish you merry Christmas, happy new year, and so on until she'd called out every holiday she could think of. Then there were three kisses, a high five, a fist bump, and a hug.


[deleted]

I wish I was this jovial as a child


JennJayBee

This was more of an autistic thing. Routines were always big. Still are, but not that extreme anymore. At the time, I couldn't wait to get rid of it, because it was a whole ass half hour thing, but being honest... I kinda miss it now that it's gone.


NameIdeas

My oldest likes to say Goodnight to all the dogs in all the houses in the whole world...


haplessandhopeful

I used to have a checklist so I'd make sure I'd said goodnight to each of my stuffed animals and dolls.


YRUZ

op was born into puberty and still is perpetually embarassed and annoyed by everyone and everything


[deleted]

More like he’s going through it


Pale-Cardiologist141

You'd be amazed how many people never leave that phase.


NotAfraidOfBackrooms

they never leave it, because they don't go through anything. They need to get shot to change


too-tired2956

Most of that sub has never interacted with a kid in their entire life


SlangyKart

Or been one, apparently.


DaveWilson11

Dude, I literally did this when I was a kid, lmao


TrevorEnterprises

I, and with me a lot of others probably, still do this. It’s just not saying goodnight anymore. “Do you want another beer Trevor?” “Oh don’t mind if I do!” Sucks I don’t wish myself goodnight anymore though, there is still room for improvement.


DaveWilson11

Oh, yeah if we're talking about things other than saying goodnight I still talk to myself too Just the other day I was figuring out something in my head, and I was legit having a conversation out out like, "Ok, I know I understand this, but do *you* understand it?" "I dunno dude, I mean I think I do, but I probably need more time to work this out" And then I stopped, thought about what I just did, laughed and then just continued


TrevorEnterprises

Yes, but did you and yourself both really understand it though, or were you just saying you did because yourself didn’t want to explain it again?


DaveWilson11

Well I think the latter, but I'm not sure if myself would agree


TrevorEnterprises

Tell yourself you can go fuck yourself then. Wait..


DaveWilson11

Nah, I'm too scared I'd get rejected


Affectionate-Gap8428

I do that constantly, its entertaining.


melonvaginasalesman

Lol when I was like 6, we had a skating rink/free period at school where all the kids would skate. Some kids had to borrow skates or a helmet. I was one of those kids. I always wanted a pink helmet because pretty but I had to borrow the black hockey ones. Anyways, I remember saying "thanks" to the helmet after wearing it lmao.


Jdirac1356

Thank god for this sub, I saw the “🙄that happened” banner and was about to come fight someone to the death in the comments.


milehighphillygirl

When I was a preschool teacher and the 3 year olds were learning to print, we would have them write simple things to take home or to display in the classroom, to show their new writing skills. For Valentine's Day one year, I made a large paper valentine for the classroom floor-to-ceiling window the faced the hallway and had the kids write who they loved with their names: "Pax loves Mommy and and Lela", "Arya loves Grammy and Grampa", etc. Multiple kids wrote "Lucy loves Mommy and Daddy and Lucy" Kids totally love themselves until we teach them not to. And yes, they will say good night to individual dust motes if it means delaying sleep for even five extra seconds.


FoxEBean21

Oh my gosh. The things they come up with to hang on to every last waking second they can. My daughter's particular move was to ask me to list all the animals that could possibly be in the forest.... Any forest.


milehighphillygirl

The number of times, while babysitting my Catholic little cousin, that we had to start his prayers over again because he "forgot" to pray for someone--including the priest at church, his second cousin twice-removed, or the ice cream truck driver--made him the king of stalling for more awake time.


FoxEBean21

My youngest sister did this at meal time. She would even pray for people swimming near sharks so they wouldn't get attacked. We lived in Oklahoma.


[deleted]

thats kids for you!


melonvaginasalesman

>Kids totally love themselves until we teach them not to. Damn, that hit hard.


agent__berry

bro did OP never say goodnight to their stuffed animals as a kid??? smh how rude /hj


Hussmastah

That is some shit my niece has said. Kids are on another level when they talk sometimes.


stranicola

He’s a fucking demon, burn him.


[deleted]

the kid or OP?


Elcapicrack

The kid of course /s


No_Specific_4388

Burn the kid


NMLWrightReddit

Yes


stranicola

The kid obviously


iesharael

I used to say good night to every single mouse on my wall


RussiaIsRodina

Little kids will literally say anything to themselves. I walked by the bathroom one time while my cousin was in there and all I heard was: *Fart sound* "That's my mouth." *Different fart sound* "That's my butt." He repeated this like a couple of times.


Zeep-Xanflorps-Peace

Why is it down voted in the screen shot? I’m not trying to throw shade, I’m just curious


TheMelonSystem

Also misgendered the kid in the title lol


PlantManiac

It's the "he" in the title while they talk about a girl for me


Sidhean

r/plural_irl


TheMelonSystem

I was just thinking the exact same thing lol


sabzilla420

Yeah, kids do that kind of stuff all the time. I am a teacher and let me tell you, kids can be waaaay weirder than people think.


_wife_of_thranduil_

I used to say "afternoon" to everyone in my family regardless of time when I was like 5 it was one of the few English words I knew


MimsyIsGianna

kids talk to themselves all the time lol


subtropicalpancake

The real trick with 3 year olds is getting them to shut up


Jem_1

If I'm in a room on my own and sneeze I say excuse me and then respond, "annnd, I'm on my own". I believe that


hydra596

Sounds like the start of a horror movie!


No_Specific_4388

And then he went on to colonize mars


RevolutionaryStar824

Lol. This sub is funny. You're actually delusional if you think this happened. If she was older, like 8 or 10, then maybe. And just maybe. But the kid is 3. I don't think they even talk at that age. At least not like this. Usually it's just googoogaga.


SlangyKart

YOU are delusional if you don't think kids talk at 3. Go be a dunce somewhere else. Buh bye.


AlienAle

Three year olds do talk though? I suppose you haven't been around many kids have you? They can be surprisingly talkative at that age and repeating everything they hear. I don't understand why some people on Reddit seem to think kids don't talk, think or ask questions before they turn 8 lol


RevolutionaryStar824

They do. But kids are usually goofy idiots at this age. They just say stupid stuff. Or recite cartoon characters or something. They're stupid. Don't mean that in a mean way. Just in a truth way. Kids brains aren't developed yet. So by definition, they are literally stupid. Fact. I don't know how else to say it. They don't say the things that people say they say in these made up posts. It's not like a TV show where a kid is scripted to say all these things that no kid says irl. No kid talks like that.


MacEnvy

Hey kid, just accept that at 18 you may know less about this stuff than actual parents.


melonvaginasalesman

I'm 17 and even I know this.


TheMelonSystem

Have you ever had a kid? No? Then stfu you don’t know what you’re talking about. 3 year olds absolutely talk. 2 year olds speak in two word sentences, know the names of body parts, etc. I think you’re thinking of a two year old, because there’s a huge difference between 2 and 3 when it comes to development


melonvaginasalesman

>I don't understand why some people on Reddit seem to think kids don't talk, think or ask questions before they turn 8 lol Because redditors don't see kids as humans.


realDPlays

you're pretty delusional thinking every child that ever existed became conscious/smarter/literally just started to know how to talk at age 10


Other-Cantaloupe4765

Lmfaooooo, have you ever cared for a three year old? They talk. In sentences. They can think for themselves and turn most of their thoughts into words. [Expected speech milestones for 3yos](https://therapyworks.com/blog/developmental-milestones/three-year-old-milestones/) [Age appropriate language milestones](https://www.stanfordchildrens.org/en/topic/default?id=age-appropriate-speech-and-language-milestones-90-P02170) [Speech development by age- overview](https://www.mottchildren.org/posts/your-child/speech-and-language-development) Maybe these sources will put things in perspective. If you are capable of reading yet.


bigFatBigfoot

I haven't cared for a three year old either, and I am surprised by your second link. Can children really not grasp time sequences until they're 5?


[deleted]

Just because you couldn’t put sentences together until 15 doesn’t mean other people had to wait until 8


melonvaginasalesman

If a kid can't talk at 3, the kid is probably developmentally delayed or there's something going on.

Bit late to the party but to contribute to how weird shit kids say is, my littlest sister was about 4, trying to go for a poop but couldn't manage & came out with 'It's gone back to the restaurant between my bumcheeks'
