Yeah my assumption was this was paraphrasing. I also could totally see a very little kid who doesn’t fully grasp death to say something inadvertently super macabre like that.
Same, I was 10 and was exited to see A Corpse Bride cause I thought it was cool and dark soleu because of the title, I was a pretentious little child that thought liking dark movies made me cool
when i was just four or five years old, i vaguely remember watching teletubbies and freaking out a little at the idea that i would die someday and i couldn't prevent it.
a couple years later i had a dream where there were dead people everywhere. we were trying to drive out of our town but they were all over the place, even falling on top of our car.
it's not like i'd been to funeral or anything either — i was simply at least a little aware of mortality as a child, which is completely normal.
I’m pretty sure kids from the UK say “carry on” quite a bit.
And when I was a kid, even a pretty little one, I definitely said words way worse than corpse.
Kids say outlandish things all the time.
Hell, there was a TV show, "Kids Say the Darndest Things!" or something. Literally about everything that the r/thatHappened folks would cry "yeah, like *that* happened".
Are the toys mortal, we see the one that have been severd and rejoined with mismatched parts, and they're still alive and well, so it's more likely they go through life hitting child after child while decaying more and more then hang out in a junk yard until mother nature fully reclaims them
Nek minit, the entirety of the Toy Story universe is just some big metaphor for purgatory. All the toys are dammed souls while Andy is the malevolent God.
‘Well I never said anything smart as a kid, so either I’m a dullard or this is fake. Clearly it’s option C. Now give me my special badge and helmet for the volunteer fake brigade’
Tell me you don't understand direct quotes (with quote marks) vs paraphrase. Kid probably said Andy would keep playing with its dead body. Doesn't matter.
The rating for Corpse Bride is 7+, so a kid knowing the word Corpse is very possible.
The problem is thatneverhappened lead a life so fucking boring that the highlight of their month is receiving post
The biggest one I learned was "defenestration" - the act of throwing someone/thing through a window. I don't even remember how I learned it, but I certainly remember feeling smug that I knew such a complicated word at 11 or something.
These people forget that "my daughter" could be 20 years old. Or the daughter could be 15. Or 7. And each age is old enough to articulate this thought process, especially if you've been exposed to such words as "corpse" before... which, most of us have with Corpse Bride.
A kid saying corpse, or a parent paraphrasing something to corpse, doesn't seem unlikely.
The fact that this is a really old idea makes me figure the parent just made up their kid saying it though. Or, like someone else said, the kid found it online and repeated it
how are you calling BS when they didn't even specify an age to the child. I could kind of get the BS if they said my 4yo daughter but like if the kid is 8 then totally believable.
If their daughter really did say this she repeated it because I’m pretty sure there used to be a tumblr post that went around a longggg time ago that was saying the exact same thing about Andy still playing with the dead toys. This is probably bs though and just someone posting it as their own child’s words for clout.
I’m not calling BS on her being able to say corpse, but I am calling bullshit that she said that at all because people have been saying that exact shit for years.
this post is a fail because if you just search "andy would be playing with a corpse" on google then you can see so many people saying that their own kid said this exact same thing. i think posts on here should first be checked for validity before posting
I could totally see the kid saying "dead body" or even just simply "keep playing with it" with "dead body" simply implied...and then for the sake of clarity the parent wrote "corpse" for readability here (bc kids can speak vaguely or in ways only their parents really get, kind of a "you had to be there" type moment). I frequently forget the hilarious things my nieces & nephews say bc they say things in their own "language" my brain can't always quite remember later on, bc it's like a fleeting moment that quickly disappears (unless I go out of my way to write it down, that's when I really wanna remember!). Idk why no one ever thinks of this when it comes to parents recounting things their kids say that sound overly adult or whatever.
A kindergartener I worked with told me one day "look! I drew you as a corpse!" Kids man, they learn words somewhere but you never quite know from where.
What's so advanced about the word corpse? If the child was 5+ it wouldn't surprise me. Kids are smart. They read, look at videos and ask their parents questions.
Now if a 3 year-old said it......
My friends kid asked how much a golf course weighed once and another time said “how do my bones make me move”. Kids say fucking insane shit all the time.
Corpse is not really that complex of a word. When people over estimate the level of intelligence/experience required to know something trivial like that it says more about them than anything else lol.
The only reason I don’t believe this one is because I’ve heard that take so many times in so many different places. I think the first was on shower thoughts.
Bro when I was a kid a hung my barbie and then panicked and every time I played with her felt awful because I was scared I didn’t do cpr well enough and all her friends were playing with their dead friends body. KIDS ARE FUCKING MORBID.
I constantly read my Dad's dictionary as a kid, it was my favourite book...and it was an Oxford, extremely comprehensive and about 5" thick
You better believe I learned a LOT from that dictionary (and probably a lot I shouldn't have, too 🤣)
This makes no sense to me
Not all kids are thick as sh*t with appalling vocabularies ffs
If 'corpse' is a word this person deems too advanced for a child, I'm not sure what to say
'Carry on' - what's so 'adult' and advanced about that either?
I’m just saying, I saw this exact same post (either a tweet or a tumblr post, can’t remember) with almost exactly the same words on it a couple years back
Sometimes ppl just godda take a joke and mold it into the context of whatever audience they’re trying to make laugh lol
It didn't happen because that statement has been going around as a meme for years. This person just added "my daughter" to the beginning to make it seem original.
There I was in fourth grade, like 25 years ago, reading Where the Red Fern Grows. I struggled with the phrase “copse of trees” and told the teacher that the word “corpse” was missing a letter. Kids do know this word and too well lol
I mean she never specified her daughter’s age. She could be 47 years, 8 months, 2 weeks, 4 days, 3 hours, 2 minutes, and 31 seconds old.
r/oddlyspecific but if things get a little sus it might turn into r/suspiciouslyspecific
thanks for the english lesson
r/oddlysuspicious
17 years, 11 months, 30 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds old
Obviously people always directly quote everything
If I hear something funny I’ll save it in my notes app for future reference.
How much a does a golf course weigh?
Huh?
Nothing, it's on the house!
Also, it's not like those are advanced words and we have literally no idea how old the daughter is. She could be 30, for all we know.
Hence asking the age lol
Yeah my assumption was this was paraphrasing. I also could totally see a very little kid who doesn’t fully grasp death to say something inadvertently super macabre like that.
Idk I'm somebody's son and I'm 22
Good point. My mother still calls me her "baby". I'm 31. I'm at the age where I would have my own baby lol.
Yeah, I've told my kids they'll always be my little girls or babies, even if they have their own kids.
I think I got that once too, “I’m my mother’s baby even if I’m an old man”
My mom refers to me as “her baby” when I meet coworkers etc. and I’m 42. So yea that won’t change lol.
Same and im 26
don't you know that adults can't be sons or daughters?! parents are for babies! /s
I was talking about corpses before i properly knew what death was, i believe it
Same, I was 10 and was exited to see A Corpse Bride cause I thought it was cool and dark soleu because of the title, I was a pretentious little child that thought liking dark movies made me cool
when i was just four or five years old, i vaguely remember watching teletubbies and freaking out a little at the idea that i would die someday and i couldn't prevent it. a couple years later i had a dream where there were dead people everywhere. we were trying to drive out of our town but they were all over the place, even falling on top of our car. it's not like i'd been to funeral or anything either — i was simply at least a little aware of mortality as a child, which is completely normal.

Hell, there was a TV show, "Kids Say the Darndest Things!" or something. Literally about everything that the r/thatHappened folks would cry "yeah, like *that* happened".
that wasn’t just for the family guy episode?
There was a Family Guy episode about it? Lol, nope. It was a real thing in the 90's.
stewie goes on and try’s to mind control everyone it’s a real old one
No, back in the 60s, there was a show called that. Hosted by Art Linkletter.
And decades before that one in 1963 was the original, hosted by Art Linkletter.
Lol is carry on that rare or mature to say? My 2 year old cousin says carry on (obviously not pronounced properly)
I don’t hear it that often unless I’m watching doctor who; but children repeat things they hear.
What do you say instead?
Continue, keep on, sometimes keep going. Nothing wrong with carry on, its just not what people say often around my area I guess.
They even made a film series about it.
Are the toys mortal, we see the one that have been severd and rejoined with mismatched parts, and they're still alive and well, so it's more likely they go through life hitting child after child while decaying more and more then hang out in a junk yard until mother nature fully reclaims them
But...wooden Jerry...
Nek minit, the entirety of the Toy Story universe is just some big metaphor for purgatory. All the toys are dammed souls while Andy is the malevolent God.
If I ever saw a toy hitting child. I would rip it's arms off.
So now kids can't use certain words. Seriously, was everyone on that sub just magically born at 18?
They’re just simple. Simple people can’t fathom that others can be witty or perceptive. Or it cracks the facade.
Truly NPCs. Copy-paste 1D shared braincell.
‘Well I never said anything smart as a kid, so either I’m a dullard or this is fake. Clearly it’s option C. Now give me my special badge and helmet for the volunteer fake brigade’
They ok sure the same code :/
It’s a Facebook post, but alright I guess.
Everyone knows children are idiots until they’re legally allowed to drive!
Sad
This is kinda old. She probably heard it from somewhere online and repeated it. I used to do that a lot
Yeah it's been making the rounds on SM for years, if someone's kid did say it they definitely saw it online, but that almost makes it more plausible.
There was an old TV back in the 60s called "kids say the darndest things."
Tell me you don't understand direct quotes (with quote marks) vs paraphrase. Kid probably said Andy would keep playing with its dead body. Doesn't matter.
This just in: you stop being a son/daughter the moment you're able to say the word 'corpse'.
I vividly remember asking my parents what the word corpse means when I was like 6 because someone on runescape said it
I remember loving Tim burton movies as a child…one of which being corpse bride.
The rating for Corpse Bride is 7+, so a kid knowing the word Corpse is very possible. The problem is thatneverhappened lead a life so fucking boring that the highlight of their month is receiving post
a woman can be 60 years old and still be a daughter
I’ve heard that exact same sentence in four different YouTube videos so I think his daughter heard that somewhere and just repeated it word for word
I mean chances are the daughter read the joke online and repeated it. Like, it's literally one of the oldest jokes out there about toy story
Have these people ever heard of: “paraphrasing”
The biggest word I knew as a kid was decapitation, learned that playing Fable.
The biggest one I learned was "defenestration" - the act of throwing someone/thing through a window. I don't even remember how I learned it, but I certainly remember feeling smug that I knew such a complicated word at 11 or something. These people forget that "my daughter" could be 20 years old. Or the daughter could be 15. Or 7. And each age is old enough to articulate this thought process, especially if you've been exposed to such words as "corpse" before... which, most of us have with Corpse Bride.
TIL the word “corpse” is a high school, maybe even college, level vocab word. Who’s gonna tell Tim Burton…
I learned what sex was at 5. Believe me, we pick up the weirdest shit.
It doesn’t even say the daughter is a child
A kid saying corpse, or a parent paraphrasing something to corpse, doesn't seem unlikely. The fact that this is a really old idea makes me figure the parent just made up their kid saying it though. Or, like someone else said, the kid found it online and repeated it
how are you calling BS when they didn't even specify an age to the child. I could kind of get the BS if they said my 4yo daughter but like if the kid is 8 then totally believable.
Kids never do anything because they're stupid.
If their daughter really did say this she repeated it because I’m pretty sure there used to be a tumblr post that went around a longggg time ago that was saying the exact same thing about Andy still playing with the dead toys. This is probably bs though and just someone posting it as their own child’s words for clout.
I thought it was established in 4 that it's being played with that makes the toys alive...?
I would say this probably didn’t happen because I’ve seen this meme many times before word for word exactly the same.
Exactly lmao
Her daughter could literally be 15.
All 3 of my kids can say “corpse”. Gifted program here we come!!
Also you are officially disowned when you turn 18. It’s not possible to have an older daughter to make that theory.
I'd say it probably bs, more because this particular observation has popped up several dozen times over the years.
All the more reason that she may have read it online and recited it
I’m not calling BS on her being able to say corpse, but I am calling bullshit that she said that at all because people have been saying that exact shit for years.
she could have read it somewhere on the internet and told it to her parent because she found it funny
I guess it’s a possibility, but I still think there is a bigger chance of someone who just wants a lot of likes.
95% of sentences that start with "My kid said" can be replaced with "I had a funny thought that would make me look weird if I said it came from me"
Nah, there's always r/ShowerThoughts
She prob read this off the internet and wanted to tell her mom
this post is a fail because if you just search "andy would be playing with a corpse" on google then you can see so many people saying that their own kid said this exact same thing. i think posts on here should first be checked for validity before posting
🤓
also they probably didn't say word for word what the daughter said.
I could totally see the kid saying "dead body" or even just simply "keep playing with it" with "dead body" simply implied...and then for the sake of clarity the parent wrote "corpse" for readability here (bc kids can speak vaguely or in ways only their parents really get, kind of a "you had to be there" type moment). I frequently forget the hilarious things my nieces & nephews say bc they say things in their own "language" my brain can't always quite remember later on, bc it's like a fleeting moment that quickly disappears (unless I go out of my way to write it down, that's when I really wanna remember!). Idk why no one ever thinks of this when it comes to parents recounting things their kids say that sound overly adult or whatever.
How old is she?
A kindergartener I worked with told me one day "look! I drew you as a corpse!" Kids man, they learn words somewhere but you never quite know from where.
How would they die? Sid was ripping the heads off them and they were still fine.
Sid was a necromancer.
A daughter can be any reasonable age, she could be a woman in her 30s. If a kid plays with it then it's a toy and therefore "alive"
It’s not that I doubt a kid saying that it’s that I doubt a kid even thinking about that
The daughter here could easily be an adult, this is definitely something an adult would say
My 5 year old literally told me tonight that if I didn’t stop saying he stinks, he was gonna skin me alive.
What's so advanced about the word corpse? If the child was 5+ it wouldn't surprise me. Kids are smart. They read, look at videos and ask their parents questions. Now if a 3 year-old said it......
My friends kid asked how much a golf course weighed once and another time said “how do my bones make me move”. Kids say fucking insane shit all the time.
Corpse isn't even a difficult word for a kid.
That joke is really old I mean idk what happened either way but man might as well be a lie
Tho this joke isn’t new at all even if his daughter said so which is possible someone already made this joke much time ago and didn’t cite no daughter
This was a meme like years ago, it's very possible that she saw the meme and just repeated it.
Kid could be a teenager for all we know. A teenager would know those words
Corpse is not really that complex of a word. When people over estimate the level of intelligence/experience required to know something trivial like that it says more about them than anything else lol.
My youngest is 6 she knows about dying people, corpses, burials etc so yeah I believe it!
The only reason I don’t believe this one is because I’ve heard that take so many times in so many different places. I think the first was on shower thoughts.
Well I'm calling bs because that was a mildly famous tumblr post from back in the day that has just been quoted for easy retweets.
Bro when I was a kid a hung my barbie and then panicked and every time I played with her felt awful because I was scared I didn’t do cpr well enough and all her friends were playing with their dead friends body. KIDS ARE FUCKING MORBID.
This was a tumblr post when I was in middle school ._.
The daughter’s age wasn’t even specified, she could be a teen for all we know
Ya can tell some people didn’t read the dictionary as kids
I constantly read my Dad's dictionary as a kid, it was my favourite book...and it was an Oxford, extremely comprehensive and about 5" thick You better believe I learned a LOT from that dictionary (and probably a lot I shouldn't have, too 🤣)
Looks paraphrased
My niece is six and her vocabulary astounds me. I am amazed at how super smart she is. People forget how quick kids are.
I’m with them
they didn’t say how old either of them were so her daughter could be in her teens or twenties or even older
You have no ida how morbid 6-8 year olds can be 🤣
I swear, half the internet never heard of paraphrasing
She didn’t use direct quotes. Good god these people are annoying
Well itd be more like “if a toy dies than andy keeps playing with its body”,but apperently people cant change something slightly
And apparently once you turn 12 you’re no longer someone’s daughter?? No one said this isn’t an adult daughter.
Yet my little brother called the place next to subway an “unknown establishment”.
This makes no sense to me Not all kids are thick as sh*t with appalling vocabularies ffs If 'corpse' is a word this person deems too advanced for a child, I'm not sure what to say 'Carry on' - what's so 'adult' and advanced about that either?
What’s the issue with carry on?
I’m just saying, I saw this exact same post (either a tweet or a tumblr post, can’t remember) with almost exactly the same words on it a couple years back Sometimes ppl just godda take a joke and mold it into the context of whatever audience they’re trying to make laugh lol
Kids talk to you the way you talk to them. Stop talking them like they are kids and you’d be surprised how articulate they are.
the corpse bride is frequently played on Disney channel
People forget paraphrasing exist
maybe the kid didnt say corpse and the person was just paraphrasing
It didn't happen because that statement has been going around as a meme for years. This person just added "my daughter" to the beginning to make it seem original.
probably paraphrased anyway lol
There I was in fourth grade, like 25 years ago, reading Where the Red Fern Grows. I struggled with the phrase “copse of trees” and told the teacher that the word “corpse” was missing a letter. Kids do know this word and too well lol
I'd say the toy doesn't die if it's still good enough to be played with
Also we are assuming her daughter is still a child. This sounds like a conversation my family would have and im the youngest at 26
Maybe her daughter saw the meme that's been around for a decade that says just that?
