Kids Who Said Things That Changed Everything

Adults usually think before they speak, but kids say whatever comes to their minds. They speak openly, without worrying, which can sometimes lead to embarrassing or even shocking things that make parents

wonder if what they said is true or just from their imagination. This article shares stories of surprising things kids have said, leaving their parents very unsettled.

The Story:
During the summer, my husband would drop our 6-year-old son, Luke, at his 22-year-old babysitter’s house on his way to work. One Friday, my husband was sick, so I took Luke instead before heading to work. When my son got out of the car, he looked confused and waited for me.

I asked him why he wasn’t going inside, and he said, “Dad always comes in with me. And he stays with the babysitter for a while while I play alone in the playroom.” I felt a chill. My husband was supposed to go to work right after dropping Luke off. Why had he never mentioned staying with the babysitter?

That evening, I asked my husband about it. His face turned pale, and after a tense silence, he confessed the truth: he had been having an affair with the babysitter for a month. My heart sank, and I knew I couldn’t stay in the marriage. The next day, I filed for divorce.
