Kids Who Did Exactly What They Were Told

Many kids love getting "smart" with their elders, meaning they'll listen, but they might take it a little too far. For example, a question on a test was to show your thinking, so a kid drew a stick figure with thoughts over his head. Read on to see some funny kids who did exactly what they were told.

This kid wanted that soup one way or another. That doesn't look like a safe way to use the chopsticks, but it looks like he has that technique down tight.

When it comes to writing letters to Santa, no kid wants to be wrong. They took their teacher's instructions to heart when she told them to write their letters to the Christmas man.

Using the hint as an answer is a tactic that might not work for everyone, so don't try this at home. This kid luckily received one point for this tactic.

When it's your first time using something, you might want to follow the directions because you don't know what could happen. This girl followed the instructions as best as she could.

This following of directions is too cute to make any parent upset. No one calls Winnie The Pooh by his full name, so I believe this is an honest mistake.

As a result of that command, this kid made a fort for the cooler. It isn't a regular fort; it's one that conceals the cooler so that the parent won't see it again.

Eat Half, She Said...

Imagine going into the fridge, looking for your grapes, and this is what you find. A batch of them half-eaten because that's what you told your kid to do with them.

I don't know how old this kid is, but he probably isn't old enough to have an income if he's answering questions like this. Also, I don't think you can be a freeloader at a young age.

That's A Lot Of Banks

Can you blame this kid for using all those banks? The instructions told the kids to do so, and this little one decided to follow the instructions. Hopefully, Emma didn't fail.

The kid who put this answer probably tried to pull a fast one here. You can't fault them for trying since love is a pretty powerful force. The parents probably taught the child that.

This little boy might grow up to be a future lawyer. One of his parents told him not to step foot outside, and he listened very well. Those feet can't wait to go back outside.

We've got a kid who thinks quick on his feet here. His mom didn't specify which half to eat, so he took a creative route to following her instructions to the letter.

Who Else Would Have Done This?

This is the next level of following instructions. Going through all that work to put the words in alphabetical order is harder than doing it the way it's intended. This kid is going places.

Would you consider this kid's work to be correct and whoever else didn't do it this way wrong? Apples do roll, and so do straws, so this child might be onto something.

If you can spot the lie, please inform me where it is. A procrastinator won't do an assignment, but they would figure out a way to turn something in. This is a great example.

This could be gibberish or it could be real writing, but the teacher probably won't ever know. If this kid did turn in the assignment like this, did he or she get full credit?

Well, what more can you ask for if the toddler attempted to feed the cat? I'm guessing this kid isn't old enough to peel their own oranges, so it's not like he could do it for the cat either.
