Kids... No matter how young they are, they still manage to suprise us.

As the parent of a toddler, you're probably not expecting deep, grown-up conversations with your little one anytime soon. At least, not from their side. 

But as many parents will tell you, kids have a way of surprising us with their unexpectedly sharp observations – and sometimes, their hilarious take on life’s big questions.

One little girl recently left her mother stunned when she launched into a conversation about inheritance. She couldn’t have been older than five or six, yet there she was, asking her mom who would inherit their house one day. 

Would it be her brother and his lady, or her soulmate and herself?

It was the kind of conversation you'd expect a few decades down the line, but in today’s world, where children are growing up faster than ever, we probably shouldn’t be too surprised.

The young girl's mother was surprised as she initially didn't understand what her daughter meant. But as the conversation unfolded, it became clear: her daughter was thinking ahead.

She calmly explained that by the time she and her brother were grown up, their parents would likely be "late", which is why she wanted to know who would inherit the house.

Although this mom admitted that she always tells her kids to think about their future, she probably wasn't expecting this.
