idiomout of the mouths of babes (and sucklings)old-fashioned said when you are surprised, shocked, or amused at something a child has said, often because it shows that they understand more about a situation than you thought they did:Sally says Joshua isn't really serious about me - well, out of the mouths of babes!NoteThis idiom comes from the Bible, where a verse in the Psalms says that even small children can speak of the power and goodness of God.
