Today, I was lying beside my 5-year-old son to help him get to sleep. He turned his head and asked, "Daddy, why do you suck so much?" FML

This is exactly why I started a diary when my daughter was born. I write down the funny things she and her brother say, and I fully intend to use them to my full advantage at their respective weddings.

Honestly kids pull things out of thin air sometimes. They hear everything, even when you think they don't, and then they pull comments like this one out of nowhere. You'll almost never know where they got it from.

That reminds me of something that happened when my brother and sister and I were little. One day, we children were quietly sitting at the table eating our dinner, when my four year old brother looked at my eight year old sister and said emphatically, "You asshole!" Naturally, my sister ran to my mom and complained, "Josh called me an 'asshole.'" "Why?", my mother asked. "I don't know," she replied, and mocking his tone perfectly continued, "he just looked at me and said, 'You asshole!'" Of course, my mother couldn't contain her hysteric laughter. To this day no one, Josh included, knows what prompted him to say that, but he said it nevertheless. Children say some random and strange things sometimes. I don't think OP should take his son's word so seriously. He should just laugh at the random and naturally occurring comedy that comes with raising a young child.

Kids say the funniest things! Don't take it personally op :)

Embarrassing photos? Yes, I agree. But I'm talking about telling everyone my daughter knows and loves that when she was 4 she said, "Daddy, I would rather lose everything I own than lose you". Feel different about my little diary now?

You might like this snippet, Doc. I have three nephews. This particular bit occurred when they were aged 6, 4, and 3. We took them to the park, where they were naturally running around playing with all their gusto. Then the four year old strolled over, sat down on the bench next to my mother, and said "Phew! Those boys have so much energy. What will we ever do with them, Granny?"

40- I know exactly how you feel. Once my mom ordered a pizza and started showing my baby pictures to the delivery guy for at least 10 minutes, and when I got mad at her she had no idea why.

Awwww he is 5 don't let it bother you. :) deep down he loves you!

Once a little girl called me, "stoopid". Never really liked kids since.

The best thing about 5 year olds is that even though they ask a billion questions, they'll accept any answer. Use this to shape his mind. "Because I don't like MacGyver, son. Remember that and learn from my mistakes."

Mommy must be speaking her mind around him

I sincerely hope he was just referring to you heavy-breathing, I.e. sucking in air.

"Because you were born son....you were born."
