But every now and again, children might say things which aren't exactly adorable.

Some might even find what they have to say a little creepy.

Redditor o0_Oo_ was curious to hear some of the creepiest things others heard from children, leading them to ask:

"What's the creepiest thing your child ever said to you?"

"Me: you’re pretty creepy sometimes bud."

"Him: just smiles"

It's alive!
