- Back when I taught Martial arts, one of my students asked me why I cut my hair.
I told him “I thought my old one was ugly so I wanted one that would make me look more handsome.”
His response?
“Oh. You’re still not handsome.”
It gave me a good laugh. I mean it completely crushed me inside but when you have a class of students and parents with all eyes on you, you can’t let anyone know.

- “daddy, mommy is too pretty for you and i love her more than you.”

- This wasn't brutal in a mean way; more like a heart wrenching way. There's 13 years difference between me and my youngest brother. I was 17 and looking at going off to college, so he would have been 4. I was driving him to his speech therapy one day for my mom when he starts crying. So I asked him what's wrong. He said it's because I was "leaving forever". I assured him it wasn't forever and that I would visit plenty. He sobs, and in the most pitiful voice ever asks me, "Why are you tearing my heart out?"
EDIT: For the few people that asked, I'm 31 now so this was about 14 years ago. He is just finishing up his first year at community college funnily enough.

- "You sound like a donut."
I don't even know what that means.

- Brutal but in a good way. When I was sick I did some volunteering with my old elementary school.
I had stage 4 lymphoma and was doing treatment, so the teacher kindly mentioned to the kids. One little girl comes up to me and grabs my hand. I ask her what's wrong and she asks me "but there's a stage 5 right?".
It was one of the moments that really made my click that it was pretty serious what I had. Kids have a "no filter" type comments that can really hit home...

- “You don’t have a girlfriend?”
“No, not yet.”
“Oh. Makes sense”
Never been so emotionally damaged before.

- I was leaning back relaxing in a really unflattering way on the couch because I was sort of sick and my god daughter looks at me and goes, "Frostysbox, when did you get so big and not pretty?"
— frostysbox
- "why do I have 2 daddy's?"
I had to ask her mother the same thing....
Spoiler Alert: Divorced
EDIT for context: It sucked, but I am grown and everything will always pass.
