Times Kids Proved They Aren’t Born Smart
Kids aren't exactly known for being the smartest, but they can get away with doing dumb things because they're children, and they like to take full advantage of that leeway.
Most of the time, kids don't even realize how weird the questions they're asking are, or are silly the things they're doing are, but we're all able to get a laugh from it. And laughing is really all you can do when your kid does something stupid.
Waste Of A Pair Of Pants
As far as Halloween costumes go, it's definitely a bit of a weird choice, but in terms of ease on the parents, this is a pretty easy one to quickly put together on the day of.
Racing Over To The Nearest Body Shop
This neighbor was in much better spirits than we would've been if the kid next door took a Sharpie to our back bumper, but maybe the parents handled the compensation already.
Oh No, How Ever Will You Find Her?
This could've gone one of two ways, but sadly for her, it went the not-so-great way. Her shirt seemed like just the tool she needed to win at hide-and-seek, but the rest of her body betrayed her.
Take Advantage When You Can
Any parent who says they're never going to lie to their children is just lying to themselves. Embrace your kids' naivety, and use it your advantage while they're young enough to not understand how other languages work.
That's A Good Use Of Resources
Can you fault her for wanting to clean all the toilet paper in the house by taking a bath with it? The answer is yes, you can absolutely fault her for dumping every roll of toilet paper into the bathtub, along with other things.
You Could've Just Restarted The Game
That's one way to solve your problem, but it certainly wasn't the best way. If you're old enough to be playing video games, shouldn't you be old enough to know how to reset the game?
This Dog Is Ready To Learn
The best part about this one is that the puppy looks so ready to learn. He doesn't know what he's learning, and the videos aren't going to do much, but it's a training exercise in patience.
He Didn't Say He'd Draw Them Well
You wanted him to participate, you were excited about his enthusiasm, and you quickly realized that a career as an artist is probably not going to be in his future.
Problem-Solving Skills On Point
If you can't decipher the chicken scratch that is this note, here's what you need to know: there was a spider in the bathroom so he didn't want to have to use the bathroom. Instead, he chose to poop in the garbage can in the hallway because that's a logical solution.
She Can Have Our Birthday
She asked when she was turning 4, you told her December, and now she's crying because she thinks you took her birthday away from her. As if she hasn't had her birthday in December for every other year of her life.
Time For A Physics Lesson
We commend these future X-Games participants for their daredevil ways, but they're quickly going to learn that there is such a thing as being too steep the first time they try to ride their bikes up that ramp.
Seems Like A Perfectly Safe Activity
It doesn't always make sense to you, but as long as everyone is having fun and no one gets hurt, why deprive your children of a game they love so much?
Good Luck Swimming In There
It's like when you buy a toy for a cat but all they want to play with is the cardboard box. What was the point of spending all that money on the pool when he just wants to sit in the bucket?
You Only Turned Away For A Second
You knew that your son has a tendency to wander off while in stores, but you didn't expect him to make it 20 feet up the side of a display in the blink of an eye.
They Really Fooled Her
The logic behind the gesture leaves a little to be desired, but the intention behind it is too pure to be upset about. I hope the teacher at least played along for a bit to encourage more of these shenanigans in the future.
Don't Tell Her About Veggie Tales
If the thought of a tomato is scary for your daughter, she's going to be in for a rude awakening the first time she goes through the produce section at the grocery store.
He Could Be On To Something
Let's hope that he doesn't ever actually put that theory to the test and end up breaking your DVD player, but a small part of us feels like maybe he's not dumb, he's actually thinking outside the box.
Play By Your Own Rules
You've stepped into her territory (the territory that fights using sidewalk chalk), so you've got to play by her rules, and according to her rules, she has won this game.
Look At The Reaction You Set Off
Picking your battles is an important part of parenting. You probably knew that picking this battle was going to end in tears, but you couldn't very well let her drink chemicals, could you?
Oh, To Be Young & Illiterate
This is the kind of joke that you can't help but laugh at because yes, these parents are making fun of their children, but they get to go to Disney World, so it's all fine.
Dream Big, Kid
You expecting him to say something like "astronaut" or "firefighter," or probably just about anything other than "dog" when he was asked what he wanted to be, yet here we are.
Seems Like A Fair Trade
Clearly, we all underestimated the value of Oreo cookies, and we need to be using them to barter with our children more if they're willing to trade an iPad for a cookie.
Practically Throwing Money Away
Art supplies are expensive, but this is an expense you weren't prepared to endure for the sake of your child's education. That's practically all the money you had saved for her college fund.
And You Thought Your Kid Was Forgetful
The music teacher said that giving the children instruments would teach them to be more responsible, but all it's taught you is that your son is definitely not ready for a dog.
A Man Who Knows What He Wants
That makes for an awkward note home to the parents... Seems like maybe this teacher should be focusing more on spelling and grammar rather than math class for this particular student.
Taco Bell Trickery
He's going to eat whatever you give him as long as it comes out of that Taco Bell bag. Save that bag and convince your son that Taco Bell now serves broccoli for dinner, see what he does.
Now You Have New Dishes
You were probably wondering why that take-out container felt so heavy, but it didn't occur to you to check until you were actually home and putting the dish in the fridge.
Who Put Him In Charge Of Dinner?
There's always a risk when you trust your child with food, and you made it even worse by trusting him with food that was meant to feed the whole family. Now everyone is in tears, and no one is fed.
That's Enough Small Objects For You
While in the process of trying to show his little brother how he managed to accidentally swallow a key the day before, this boy then managed to swallow a penny as well.
At Least He's Passionate About Something
This one is really more on the parents than the children in the first place. You want to let him embrace freedom of speech, but you weren't expecting him to come downstairs with this sign.
"Hold On, Let Me Explain"
His face says "there's an excellent explanation for why there's flour all over the floor, and I'm about to explain it," but the mess on the floor and his body says otherwise.
You'll Never Be Alone Again
When you first bought it, you thought it would be a fun, trendy bathroom door, but now that you have children, you see the errors of your way. Your toddler sees it as a way to torment you.
Never Leave Them Alone With Things You Care About
When you said you wished that your laptop was a little bit more colorful, you were picturing one of those fun marble laptop or keyboard covers, not a DIY crayon masterpiece from your toddler.
Children Are Such A Delight
To save you from doing that mental math, this person's child disabled their iPod for approximately 45 years. It would've been a lot easier for everyone if they had just asked mom for the password...
Talk About A Wake-Up Call
Of all of the things that you thought your son might do in his life, or the weird things he's already done, did you ever expect him to bring a horse into your bedroom?
At Least He's In The Dress Of Someone He Knows
This right here is the reason that some couples choose to make their wedding reception "adults only." At least someone is having a fun time while waiting for dinner to be served, though!
Oh No, How Ever Will We Find Her?
So either she's really bad at hide-n-seek and thought that no one could see her if she couldn't seem them, or she overestimated her ability to fit into small spaces.
This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things
You and your husband finally found a time to go out to dinner with the whole family, all you wanted was to enjoy a nice meal together, but your daughter had other ideas.
She Got Board Of Waiting For You
They weren't kidding when they said that a child has a short attention span, but you didn't expect them to work through this many board games during your 5 minute shower.
Help Was On The Way, But Too Little Too Late
Any kid using the microwave needs to be supervised, or at least given specific instructions, unless you want to end up like this mother whose microwave is now covered in exploded boiled egg.
"Don't Forget To Grab Your Mask"
When this mom sent her daughter back into the house to grab a mask because they were going to the grocery store, this wasn't exactly the mask that she was talking about.
He Was On The Right Track
The concern for his cousin is what we're going to choose to focus on. He meant well, even if his actual math and aging process doesn't really add up. He's still got time to learn about that in school.
Shopping Trips With Mom Are Always Fun
Like most children, this boy was only thinking about one thing in the moment he stuck that plunger on his face, and didn't think through the consequences of this. Mom might be having to pay for that plunger at the checkout.
Wholesome Dental Hygiene Habits
Absolutely no one is permitted to burst the fantasy bubble that this little boy is living in. He may not be the brightest bulb, but he has clean teeth and always makes getting ready for bed a family event.
Time For A Quick Nap
The imagination that this two-year-old exhibited is impressive, there's no doubt. However, we might have argued that rather than drawing a pillow on the sidewalk, she could have walked inside the house to nap.
Have You Tried Turning It Off And Turning It On Again?
How he got his upper body stuck inside this traffic cone is not even the issue at hand here. The real issue is how do we plan to get him out of said traffic cone?
"Write In The Days Of The Month"
One mother bought a day planner for her son who needed a little help with keeping his school assignments organized. She told him to write in the days of the month, and quickly discovered that a more pressing problem than organization is the fact that her son thinks there are 60 days in a month?
He Really Hit The Jackpot
One 8-year-old boy at the beach got himself and his parents pretty hyped up when he came running across the sand yelling "I found $100!" Sadly, this bill isn't quite worth that much.
Stand Up For What You Believe In
The trainsphobia in society became too much for this little boy to bear, and he knew that he had to seize the opportunity to show his love for trains, even if that wasn't what this protest was actually about.
No One Will Ever Find Him...
This boy seems to have adopted the "if I can't see them, they can't see me" mentality while playing hide-and-seek in the front yard. Let's just make sure we teach him about real cars before he tries to do this under dad's car on the driveway.
