31 Hilarious Times Kids Take Things Way Too Literally
They’re just so innocent, you can’t get mad at them.
Children are just plain, innocent creatures, and most of them don’t understand the phrases we like to use. There are times when they take things really literally. In fact, there are more times they do than don’t, and it often leads to hilarious answers or actions from them. For example, when you tell them to ‘name the shape’ of a square and write ‘Jack.’
