Children say the darnedest things sometimes. It is a truth parents know only too well, and one that has led to many hilarious mishaps over the years. Sometimes children embarrass their parents, like when one youngster was convinced her mum had a hairy bum - and did not hesitate to tell her.
Other times they include people outside of the family in their antics, like when this kid told the postman her mum couldn't answer the door because she was "upstairs having a poo". Well, another hilarious interaction has come to light after a woman discovered a Father's Day card her brother once gifted their dad.

In the card, shared to Twitter by sister @l3avem3alone the concerned son issued a warning for his dad.
He reportedly wrote: "Happy Father's day pa! I'm happy mum hasn't left you yet despite your gut and boobs. Having split parents would suck. But never get too confident because it could happen at any moment.
"Love Louie."
And the message left people in stitches. One person wrote: "What a savage!"
"It’s like a warning letter," read a different comment. Another said: "I like to imagine Louie is 27."
Well, the responder might be pleased to know the son in question was much older than other commenters guessed.
Replying to her tweet, Louie's sister wrote: "It's funny because people are like 'damn kids are mean'. Louie is 24," before tagging her brother.
And when quizzed: "How old were you when you wrote this?", he replied: "Like 20."
Thankfully, the story had a happy ending. In a follow-up tweet, the cheeky son said: "Sorry about my handwriting. parents are still together."
He also clarified his dad did not take the harsh words to heart. "He laughed he’s a funny guy," said Louie.
