Parents often find themselves amused by the unexpected and sometimes blunt remarks their children make as they navigate through the learning process. Recently, Garrett and Story Woodlee shared a compilation of “ruthless things” their daughter had said.
In a funny TikTok clip, Garrett recounts trying to teach his 5-year-old daughter to use the toilet by herself when she casually asks him, “why are boys so fat?” The unexpected comment left the parents in stitches.
Story, 28, then joins in, holding notes prepared for the occasion, and quotes her daughter saying, “mommy you have a huge jelly belly.” The nonchalant delivery of these comments adds to the humor.
Garrett continues with another incident where his daughter, lying on his chest, innocently asks him about having breasts, questioning why only girls are supposed to have them. Story also recalls a previous comment about her “flappy” breasts, adding to the comedic exchange.
The video concludes with Story humorously stating, “I have no idea where she got it from,” a sentiment many parents can relate to.
As parents watch the clip, they share their own humorous encounters in the comments section, creating a virtual bonding space over relatable moments.
Child development researchers have identified the “age of reasoning” at around seven years old, marking a stage where children exhibit improved cognitive and emotional capacities. This phase signifies a growth in rational thinking, impulse control, and understanding of moral concepts.
Studies have shown that by the age of five, children have already made significant strides in their development, showing enhanced abilities to differentiate between reality and fantasy, along with improved social skills. Parents play a crucial role in supporting their kids during this crucial stage by fostering open communication and sharing relatable stories to navigate new challenges and emotions.
