From funny to outrageous, kids really do say the darndest things. 

However, this little girl is bang on the money when she says, “I can’t grow up quickly.” 

In a TikTok clip, the child tells her mom exactly why she doesn’t want to grow up and it’s all about the money. 

She lists a wide range of items she will have to pay for if she grows up. 

The list includes having to pay for a house, car, sofa, bed, laundry, new shoes and so forth.

She even says that she will have to pay for money. 

After listing all the items she will have to pay for, her mom asks her to “pinky promise not to grow up.”

The cute video has garnered over 38,000 views and almost 4000 likes. 

Of course, people could not resist hopping into the comment section to respond to the adorable clip.  

“Child is already tired and stressed” said one viewer. 

“I wish I had her level of awareness when I was her age,” commented another. 

Another TikToker said, “All adults do is pay for stuff. It’s a lot. We even pay for money… Milani don’t grow up quickly.” 

“I wish I was this clever because I wanted to be an adult soooo bad, now I’m struggling with this adulthood thing,” said another. 

“She understands life already. Tell her to stay there,” commented another viewer. 

“If I was this aware at that age I would have started saving then,” reckoned another grown-up. 

“She cracked the code and this is good, she’s gonna enjoy her childhood,” said another.
