Mum jokes she’s ‘scared’ of four year-old daughter after her bizarre threat & parents think it’s hilarious
WHETHER they're playing make-believe or happily chatting away to themselves, there's no denying that kids say the most bonkers - and hilarious - things without even realising.
Someone who knows a little something about this is Australian mum-of-two Cheryl Denyer - whose four-year-old daughter Scout gave a glimpse of her dark side over the weekend.
The mum - who is married to television host Grant Denyer - posted the details of the hilarious incident online.
In a text message to her husband - which were then shared to Grant's Instagram page - Cheryl wrote: "While driving home I said we needed to lie down cause I'm feeling unwell.
"[Scout] wasn't happy and said, 'see this sad face Mum.
"'That's because I want to chop your body up with a knife cause you've annoyed me.' Um what the actual f**k."
Needless to say, Grant was shocked - and somewhat amused - by the seriously "dark" comment.
Cheryl continued: "Yes I am serious... I kinda freaked but spoke calmly and said, if you chop my body up with a knife you will kill me and then you will miss me.
"Is that what you really want? She shrugged her shoulders. I said I'll be gone forever. And she said I am just angry at you, that's all. B***** psycho."
Seeing the funny side of things, Grant them replied: "I suggest you don't close your eyes."
Sharing the messages with his 172,000 followers, Grant joked: "I'm scared of our four-year-old.
"Either Scout's just finished season 2 of Underbelly or we're harbouring a nut job.
"I think I'll move until we find out. We're clearly doing a great job."
However, the couple's fans found the exchange hilarious and shared similar stories of their own children's odd behaviour.
One replied: "I remember when my 4 year old son held a pair of scissors over my head when I turned around he put them behind his back!!
"Freaky kids. He’s now 14 and I’m still here."
Another added: "My youngest told her teenage sister if she ever sees her kiss a boy she will cut her tongue out!"
A third wrote: "Aww kids say the darnest things. It’s so funny what comes out of their mouths though, I often wonder do they actually know what they are saying or are they using shock therapy?"
