Parents Recall The Creepiest Sentences Their Children Casually Dropped Like It Was Nothing

Kids can be unsettling in the most casual way possible, because they often say the first thing that pops into their heads and leave everyone else to deal with the fallout.

That is exactly what makes these stories so creepy, the parents were caught off guard by comments that sounded innocent at first, then got stranger, darker, or way too specific. A few of them are funny in hindsight, but most of them would make anyone pause for a second.

These are the kinds of things that stick with you long after the moment passes, and some of them are hard to shake.

1. "Hi, Aunt Peg"
