25 of the Funniest Things Kids Said to Try to Get Out of Trouble

Kid logic is funny as hell, which makes it really difficult to punish them when they do something wrong. How can you hear a child say, “It’s not my fault, mommy! My brain told me to do it!” and not laugh? Furthermore, how do you explain to that child that their defense is flawed? 

Redditors have relayed the funniest things children have said to them to weasel out of trouble, and some of these kids have improvisational skills that many adults lack — especially the toddler who claimed his brother was responsible for the poop his diaper. Needless to say, that kid’s going places.
