The apple slicing and teeth brushing really made me laugh. Seeing it all over again with my grandchildren. Mind you, the amount of toothpaste that ends up on the mirror on a normal day makes me think some adults still use this technique!
My daughter would combine #6 (distracting questions) with #10 (avoiding sleep) quite deliberately
My son’s take on #8 (apples) was to take one small bite, decide he’d had enough, then come back half an hour later and do the same with a fresh apple
Meanwhile, #7 continues to apply well into the teenage years. It’s amazing how suddenly teenagers get tired at the mention of school or chores, & how quickly they recover once those possibilities are taken off the table!
Oh god I am LOL-ing here, Andrew. Numbers 6 & 10 are an obvious and popular combination. And the apples! Yes I have a son exactly like that - eats 2 bites, gets annoyed the rest has gone brown then gets a fresh one and does the same thing on repeat. I don’t know if I want this crystal ball 🔮 into the teenage years 🤦♀️
You know how some posts will have a “NSFW” disclaimer? This post needs a “YWLYAO”- you WILL laugh your ass off, disclaimer. Brilliant. Well-done. Anyone who has raised kids of this particular age related logic will appreciate its truthfulness bundled with humor.
Oh gosh it’s so hard when they’re that little! You can’t even reason with them. You see their tired, hysterical little faces and you’re like: “FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, JUST SLEEP!” I wish you luck X
Thank you! It really is insanity. Before having him I thought he’d just sleep when he’s tired 🤡and didn’t know there was such a thing as “overtiredness”.
The kids that used kid logic( I’m sure we all have) are now adults using it to convince others this is fine, it makes perfect sense!! Thanks all so true.
Today was the perfect day for me to read this. I'm at the end of my tether with my 6 year old, I think she violated just about all of these.
My brother in law (no kids) once did something brilliant that my daughter fell for. She had given up on apples and didn't want to eat them anymore. He asked her if she wanted 'apple slice'. She thought it sounded great, and from that point on, she loves apples if they are simply sliced but won't eat them whole. Says they taste different.
What was the answer to “Mum, who did the longest fart in the world ever?”
To be fair, that's a pretty good question. I'd still be asking the same today!

Honestly Wendy, the teeth brushing kills me 😂 and you’re right! My partner doesn’t do it too differently 🤷♀️ maybe that’s where they learnt it from.
I was in the middle of a very stressful task the other day when my son came over and said "mummy this is important... where do arms come from?"
Kid logic.
🤣🤣 Is there a better time to ask this question? I doubt it.
😂😂😂 YASSSSS. Especially 3, 6, 8 and 9.
And 9 fucking wrecked me!!!!!!!! Thank you for this, truly. 😂🙏
Glad I’m not alone 😂. You’re welcome 😘
🤣🤣🤣 Resonates big time ! Doesn’t change much now they are older teenagers 🙈
Oh ghaaaad don’t tell me that! 😂🤦♀️
Fab Sara. Reverse psychology makes perfect sense. Kids! Also, love that dog face gif -never not makes me laugh.
It’s one of my favourites gifs 😂

Thank you! I might change the name of my Substack to YWLYAO - rolls right off the tongue 😛
My son is only 8 months but #10 sent me 😂😂 please sleep so I can sleep 🫠

Welp, that’s some truth right there.
Sorry 😂

Very funny Sara! Some people never grow out of kid logic...
Honestly, I think it’s the way to go. I’m tired of trying to make everything make sense 😂
Make it make nonsense!
This is awesome Sara, but it also leaves me slightly concerned. You see, I do, like, seven of these.
😂 well, reading through these comments, I think a few grown ups are still using Kid Logic and who could blame them?
