15 funny quotes about children you`ll ever hear:

1. ”The quickest way for a parent to get a child`s attention is to sit down and look comfortable.” - Lane Olinghouse

It seems like children don`t want anything and nothing is needed when parents ask something from them. They also don`t always listen when we try to get their attention. It seems like parents are usually ignored. To fix that, you need to sit down and get comfortable. Then the children will suddenly want your attention.

2. ”We all have moments in life that test our courage. One of them is taking a child into an apartment with a white carpet.” - Erma Bombeck

We all have moments that test us and children can cause many of these moments. As Bombeck jokes, one moment that can test your courage is when your child makes a mess. Children can ruin anything, especially if it`s white. This applies to white carpets, furniture, walls, and anything else that`s easy to stain. Although Bombeck joked in her quote, her statement is all too believable.

3. ”Nothing can help you better understand your beliefs than trying to explain them to a curious child.” - Frank A. Clark

Children ask more questions than any adult and they`ll want to know all the details. It`s easy to say what you believe, but when a child starts asking questions, you have to dig deeper. The questions a child asks will make you rethink your convictions. You`ll have to precisely understand why you believe what you believe and explain it. Often in this process, you`ll learn something about yourself too.

4. ”The only thing children wear out faster than shoes is their parents.” - John J. Plomp

Children are always on the move and constantly growing, so they outgrow or tear shoes pretty quickly. It`s normal to see children dragging their feet on the ground, riding bikes, or playing outside. This causes wear, tears, and sometimes holes in shoes. Another thing children quickly wear out is their parents. Caring for children and playing with them leaves parents tired by the end of the day.

5. ”It`s amazing how quickly children learn to drive a car, yet they don`t understand what a lawn mower or vacuum cleaner is.” - Ben Bergor

Children quickly learn what they want to do or what inspires them. Bergor points this out in his quote and he`s right. No matter how many things a child claims not to know how to handle, they learn to drive a car pretty quickly, showing that children are smart, but usually they learn only when doing what they like. Remember that next time a child tells you they don`t know how to do what you ask them to do.

6. ”The most important thing I remember is how often I changed diapers.” - Paul Reiser

As Reiser explains, taking care of a baby isn`t easy. From the very beginning, you`ll be changing diapers, and it seems like that`s all there is. So much goes into parenting, and suddenly the next stage comes and you have to start over again.

7. ”Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your nursing home.” - Phyllis Diller

You take care of your children for many years and eventually they return the favor. Make sure the favor is good and remember that children remember everything.

8. ”My daughter is late for kindergarten because she decided she could dress herself.” - Unknown

Young children insist on doing everything themselves, even if you`re going to be late somewhere. Because of that, parents often arrive late to kindergarten. The funny thing is that when you`re not in a hurry, they don`t want to do anything themselves.

9. ”You can learn a lot from children. For example, how much patience you have.” - Franklin P. Jones

Even when children aren`t trying to test your patience, they still manage to do it. Sometimes they help you find out how much patience you have by doing it intentionally. In any case, they can`t help but test you and make you stay fun and kind.

10. ”Usually my children refuse to eat anything that hasn`t danced on TV.” - Erma Bombeck

I`m sure most parents argue with their children at dinner time at some point. If there were more ads and TV shows about healthy food dancing around, it wouldn`t be such a problem.

11. ”Children are a great comfort in old age, but they also help you reach it faster.” - Lionel Kauffman

Many joke that children cause gray hair. There`s some truth in this Kauffman quote: despite all the joy children bring to life, they also cause stress and worry. That`s probably why they can cause premature graying and aging.

12. ”There are only two things a child will gladly share: communicable diseases and their mother`s age.” - Benjamin Spock
Teaching children to share with others is a struggle for most parents. However, they gladly and happily share information about their parents. Unfortunately, it seems they always share details we`d rather keep secret.

Even worse, when they get sick, they share their germs with everyone. If they only knew what things to keep to themselves and what to share, life would be much simpler.

13. ”The reason I love kids so much is because they`re so honest, you immediately know if they like you or not.” - Colin Egglesfield

Sometimes this is so awkward for parents. Children say what`s on their mind, but if they don`t say it, they act in a way that shows their feelings. That`s why it`s so easy for others to tell if they like the child or not.

14. ”A two-year-old is like having a blender, but you don`t have a top for it.” - Jerry Seinfeld

Toddlers can make the biggest mess in a short time. You can`t avoid it, no matter how careful you are. As Seinfeld explains, it seems like they create a mess comparable to a blender throwing things around the room.

15. ”Having one child makes you a parent; having two you are a referee.” - David Frost

This simple reason is why it`s easier to deal with one child than two. Siblings will always have something to argue about, so you`ll constantly be resolving their disputes. Just add referee skills to your list if you`re a parent to more than one child.
