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?"

"Him: I don’t know where a volcano is."

"Me: so we good?"

"Him: for now…"

"The other one:"

"Him: too bad the babysitter died."

"Me: no she didn’t bud, she’s just not here today."

"Him: or she’s in the freezer (while staring at the freezer)."

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

"Him: just smiles"

It's alive!

"My mother died a few weeks ago."

"I went to her house to get some things and she had a huge collection of stuffed animals that I brought home for the kids."

"My son, 5, and I were awake early about 3 days after her death and he was playing with the stuffed animals in his room when he came out screaming and crying hysterically."

"This never happens, he’s a very tough boy for 5."

"Now I was freaked asked him what was wrong and he was legit terrified."

"I had never seen him like this before of after."

"He said that one of the stuffed animals moved."
