“My Son Has Been Bummed Since He Found Out That Firefighters Didn’t Go Around Fighting People With Fire”: 47 Times Kids Misunderstood Adults

Article created by: Viktorija Ošikaitė

Children are so smart. Their little brains are like sponges, and they pick up knowledge, language and skills incredibly quickly. But another special thing about them is that their minds are not yet tainted by the confines of logic. If you tell them Santa Claus travels around the world in one night and sneaks in through the chimney, they just might believe you. Why wouldn’t they believe you? Adults know everything, right? 

Actress Daisy Haggard recently tweeted about a misunderstanding between her and her four-year-old daughter about traveling via ferry rather than fairy, and she inspired many other parents to share similar stories. We’ve gathered some of the most adorable and hilarious misunderstandings between children and adults down below for you to enjoy, and I’ll be honest, I wish that most of these kids were actually right. Can you imagine traveling on a fairy? That would be the best day of my life!
