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…

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

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.

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.

OK, what do we need to build a rocket?

Toddler: Gold..
