When you're a kid, you view the world with childlike innocence. You aren't trained to question quite yet and take everything for face value.
Which can lead to some pretty hilarious situations. Have a look below at these tweets that show how hilarious children are when it comes to misunderstanding simple concepts.

By the sounds of it, this kid must have had a pretty disappointing childhood.
Hopefully, it didn't take them too long to catch on to the fact that "later" was just another way of saying goodbye. Otherwise, that'd be really sad.
"I used to get mad when Dora asks “what was your favorite part?” Cause I’d go “umm, I like the part with-“ and she’d cut me off to go “I like that part too.” I used to be like I helped this girl out and she won’t even let me get a word in." - Twitter u/@izzysaks
I guess it's a good thing that this Twitter user never overheard someone use the phrase "explosive diarrhea."
