Those who have spent a significant amount of time around children know that they can be a very strange breed. It can be hard to predict what they're likely to come out with next, and it often leads to humorous exchanges.

This was the case for @AliceTaylorM in a recent exchange with her son, who stopped her singing "You Are My Sunshine" by telling her he hated the song — and always had done, even in the womb. This prompted an amusing thread on the very particular tastes and memories of peoples' kids, ranging from entertaining to slightly creepy. There's nothing like the imagination of a child.

    Organism - Aice is my Christmas name -... @AliceTaylorM I was singing You Are My Sunshine to my 3 year old and he told me he hates that song. I said that's a shame because I use to sing it to him when he was in my tummy before he was born and he looked me dead in the eyes and said "I hated it then too".

He immediately stopped crying, and turned his head towards me.

    Font - Animal @ruffletheanimal Replying to @AliceTaylorM One of my then 4 year old kids gave a huge semi sob sigh at bedtime once. When asked the matter he said he wished atoms were not a thing 'bc if there weren't any atoms we wouldn't have to exist'. At 17 now, I think he is still in the same frame of mind Dominus Vile @DominusVile I DO ALL SORTS OF SruPiu He's got that "tortured artist" mentality, hope he uses that energy to create. Might be the next big thing. AND GAY SHIT.

    Organism - ElizaR @ElizaReynick Replying to @AliceTaylorM and @lifeattiffanys When my son was 3, I picked him up from pre-school one day, and he very somberly said, "What if that song is right, and life IS but a dream? Are we just in a dream right now?" Existential crisis brought on by “Row, Row, Row Your Boat"

When Bambi's mother is shot, and the entire theater has filled with the sound of small children crying, my tearfull wife looks down at my daughter, who looks up smiling and says... "It's OK Mommie, they eat it". Louise Snape @LouiseSnape7 My very small niece (3?) once replied to my query about her favourite animal with 'Dead pigs - because I like to eat them'
