Kids really do say the darndest things. They haven’t yet had their point of view molded by society, so their minds are free to see life in a way we can’t even wrap our heads around anymore. Sure is fun to be around though.
These hilarious kids used their unjaded minds to come up with new names for everyday objects, and honestly, I think these names are way better.

"I have cow-like reflexes."
My 9 year old either made an error in phrasing and meant to say cat or he is extremely self-aware.

My friend’s 5-year-old just saw a crow and called it a “Halloween eagle.”
And a child shall lead us. It is known. This is the new name for the bird-formally-known-as-crow. You know what to do, @MerriamWebster.

When my daughter was a toddler she pointed to the back of her knee and told me she had a bug bite on her leg pit.😂 Then my son,(8 yrs younger), as a toddler learning how to scrub up asked "Do I scrub my leg pits too?" I think it's funny that they both called it the same thing.
