There’s no doubt that children can be a great source of humor in our lives. Young kids especially. Their perspective and outlook on the world can bring about joy and laughter from their formative perspective of the world, adults and everyday things that we see as normal. They see it in quite a funny light however. I spent 5 years volunteering in a kindergarten class one day each week and every single week without fail these 5 year old’s had some of the funniest things to say. Comedians with a serious and inquisitive tone!
These questions are great to ask your young children, or if you’re a grandparent to ask your grandchildren. These questions will provide useful and insightful perspectives on how your children or grandchildren think and view the world and surely a few of these questions will give you a good belly laugh. Years later when your children (or grandchild) is grown you can tell them the story about that one time they responded to a question with the most adorable response. Without further ado, here are 20 questions that are sure to bring about a belly laugh for you.
Some of these questions may seem very basic with no humor in them, but what children will say when you ask one question and a follow-up question can be quite comical.
