There’s a whole subgenre of horror dedicated to creepy kids. The Omen, The Children of the Corn, The Bad Seed, The Bad Son, The Babadook all feature a kiddo that makes our skin crawl. Because sure, they’re cute. But sometimes even the most adorable, loving, little ankle-biter can say or do something so spooky that you consider locking your bedroom door at night, right?
On Twitter, feminist writer Mikki Kendall asked what’s the creepiest/weirdest thing you’ve heard a kid say. And the answers are all the stuff of nightmares, or at least 20 more horror movies.
People who interact with kids, what is the single weirdest/creepiest thing a kid has ever said to you? It's Saturday night so why not creep yourself out? pic.twitter.com/6pK92nOkmG

So many to choose from, but it would have to be the day sitting on my sofa, heard a scratching noise meant to get my attention, looked up, and saw this: pic.twitter.com/uI5XQiFUjl

My son, at five years old:

"Daddy, I'm gonna eat you up."
"Awwww…."
"Yeah, I'm gonna cut you into little pieces."
"…."
Walking with my 2-yo in a cemetery by our house. She says “mommy, who is that man in the red jacket by the stone house?” She pointed to a mausoleum. There was no one else in the cemetery. “He’s waving at me!” She waved back. “He’s coming over to talk!”

Babysitting that ended with backyard marshmallow roast. One kid didn't want to get the near the fire. I asked if it scared him, "Yeah the bad man set a fire that burned me and my mom and then I woke up here." Uh….

I was hiking alone in the woods with my son who was 7. It was eerie quiet. Out of nowhere he says “The woods demand a sacrifice.”

Another time a young boy told me, "The man in the box told me you listen to sad music."

Sitting on the floor in my class a toddler came up from behind me and kind of tried to climb up my back/hug me from behind. "Where are you going?" I asked, laughing.

Right into my ear he whispers: "Inside." I stopped laughing.
Nine-year-old daughter to me after touring an open house (older home): "we can't live there."
— Monique (@bluebelletrist) January 28, 2018
Me: Why?
Her: People died there.
Me: Well, in older homes that sometimes happens…
Her: They're still there.
Me: 😱😱😱
"We're all gonna die."

"I know sweetie. That's just part of-"
"You're gonna die tomorrow."

You know, I didn't actually think about how much weird shit I was inviting into my mentions on a Saturday night.
