55 Funny Toddler Quotes To Make You Laugh
Toddlers, they are a breed of their own, that’s for sure. They seem to know it all – well, so they think. I may have about 30 years more life experience than my toddler, but apparently I’ve been doing it wrong for all these years. Who knew?! Here are some funny toddler quotes I have received. Often I get over one a day. It keeps me highly amused, though! This is life, according to my toddler.
When Something is Broken
When things go wrong and they just won’t work, why not take a leaf out of the book of ‘how to fix it by a toddler’
Toddler: Mummy… if it doesn’t work KICK IT!!
Toddler: Mummy, my toy is broken…buy me a new one
When You Feel Poorly
When you’re feeling unwell, and you need something to make you feel better. Toddlers apparently know the best cure. They do suffer a lot of ailments though, especially around bedtime…
Toddler: Mummy I need some chocolate because my tummy hurts
Toddler: Mummy I can’t walk my arm hurts
Toddler: Mummy I can’t walk my shoulder hurts
Toddler: Mummy I can’t go to sleep my cheek hurts
Toddler: Mummy I can’t go to sleep my toe hurts
Toddler: Mummy I can’t go to sleep my hair hurts
Toddler: Mummy I’ve got a cough .. I’m dead
When Someone is Annoying You
Imagine this, you’re on the toy telephone and it asks you “Hello, how are you today?” You’ve already told it once how your day was and now you are getting annoyed. Was she not listening the first time?
Toddler: Look, Lady! I’ve told you already!
I’m thinking this may be a novel way to deal with cold callers and other annoying phone calls – toddler style!
Toddlers & Pets
Pets and toddlers don’t always mix well. All this time I’ve been worrying about the cat, but really I should have been looking out for our pet dinosaur.
Toddler: Mummy… smack that dinosaur in there! (points towards the dining room)
Toddler: Mummy…shoot the dinosaur! Close that door! Shut him in!
Toddler: Mummy…the dinosaur’s eating my cake!
Toddler: No Dinosaur – you’re naughty – I smack you!

Fashion & Looking Good
I’ve spent years and a small fortune going to the salon to achieve the perfect mom’s hair style – little did I know I’ve been doing it very wrong.
Crocodiles are apparently the alternative way to achieve the haircut you’ve been waiting for.
Toddler: Mummy! There’s a crocodile in your hair! SNAP SNAP!!
When you come downstairs wearing your new and expensive checked shirt from Next. You’re well pleased as you are looking pretty trendy for a mom who has little time to make any effort. Yeah I rock this shirt …. may be not according to my toddler … oh well I tried.
Toddler: Mummy?
Yes, Darling..
Toddler: *looks all confused at me in my new shirt*
Toddler: Are you a cowboy?
Christmas
Father Christmas is amazing… he will bring you whatever you like. This is going to be a tough one even for Santa to achieve, I think… how do you bring a colour?
Me: What would you like Father Christmas to bring you?
Toddler: Yellow
Me: A yellow what?
Toddler: Just yellow!

Future Jobs
We all have dreams and ambitions as a kid, and at some point we’ve all entertained the idea of being an astronaut and going into space. Although, this way might be a tad heavy and expensive even for NASA to pull off.
Toddler: Daddy, let’s build a rocket
OK, what do we need to build a rocket?
Toddler: Gold..

“Mom, I’m not tired!” (As They Yawn and Rub Their Eyes)

Next time you’re driving home at night, be prepared for this profound observation. Toddlers have a way of making the simplest things seem magical. The moon becomes their personal stalker, and suddenly, a regular car ride turns into an adventure.

Who needs a Prince Charming when you have Mr. Cuddles? Toddlers are loyal to their stuffed friends, and this quote is just a sweet reminder of their innocent and loving hearts.

When faced with a living room covered in crayons and finger paint, remember this: your toddler isn’t making a mess; they’re creating a masterpiece. And who are we to stifle their creative genius?

“I’m not a baby, I’m a big kid now!”
One day they’re taking their first steps, and the next, they’re declaring their independence. This quote is a bittersweet reminder of how quickly our little ones grow up, even though they’ll always be our babies at heart.
“Why do grown-ups drink coffee? Does it taste like chocolate milk?”
To a toddler, the mysterious allure of coffee is puzzling. They’ll never understand why we need it to function, but their innocent curiosity about our daily habits is just too cute to handle.
