funny kids

I think I can probably speak for most people when I say that growing up, my sex ed was almost non-existent. I picked up everything I know now along the way, either through the garbage my friends told me or, as I got older, through some awkward trial and error experiences. I was that gullible kid who believed you could get pregnant from swimming in a pool and that my parents only had sex the same amount of times as the number of siblings I have (and even that was way too many for my liking). People on Reddit share some of the weirdest myths about sex they believed as kids, and they make me feel less alone, as that kid who believed anything and everything about the big, bad world of sex.

All first-time parents can relate to the never-ending, panic-inducing task of sterilizing their baby's bottles. All. Day. Long. Seriously, the lengths we go to keep our eldest kids safe, ensuring that every piece of feeding equipment has been washed with hot water, soaked in bleach, and then washed in more hot water. Just in case we missed a microbe of dirt. Our hands may be scalded and raw, but we'll do anything to keep our babies protected, right?

Meanwhile, our little angels sit there eating trash out of the garbage, picking up bits of dirt from the floor, and putting anything and everything they can find in their mouths. I mean, what is the point?! And so, when it comes to our second child, quite frankly, they can eat whatever they want, from wherever they want. And sterilization can f*ck right off!

Kids are a true delight. Until they're throwing a tantrum for absolutely no reason whatsoever and screaming bloody murder. Suddenly, they're not so cute. In fact now, they're the devil reincarnated. Parents share the ridiculous reasons their kids threw tantrums, and they are nothing short of hilarious. Bless the little things.

One day, I was about seven-years-old when my dad brought me home a bunch of spare stationery from his office. We're talking highlighters, sticky notes, pens, and a stapler. The next day, I went to school and told my teacher that my dad's job was a 'pen tester,' and he sat all day testing out pens to see if they work. His actual job? A marketing director. Oh, to be that blissfully naive again. The phrase 'truth from the mouth of babes' is a reality that many parents live each day. Someone Tweeted, "My friend's daughter was asked by her teacher what does her mother do for a living. Miss thing said move papers around and talk on the phone. My friend is a judge." It received thousands of likes and shares, with people responding with similar funny examples of what they think their parents do for a living. Kids really do say the darndest things!

Anyone who's ever spent a significant amount of time lurking the comments section of a YouTube video has probably come across a comment or two that looks suspiciously like it was written by a toddler. Often totally misspelled and difficult to interpret, these comments are pretty hilarious if you take them at face value. We've collected a bunch of screenshots of ridiculous instances where little kids probably somehow got a hold of their dad's YouTube account and went to town. 

Kids are dumb. I say this with love. But they're really, really stupid. And watching them trying to navigate the world is hilarious. Whether you have a kid of your own or don't go near them, everyone can enjoy laughing at a kid. Check out our latest memes from r/kidsarefuckingstupid and block those memories of you doing similar things when you were a kid.

Kids these days, eh? Full of confidence, cheekiness, and all the answers. They certainly are a force to be reckoned with, especially when it comes to influencing other kids at school. Teachers might have their work cut out for them for eight hours a day, but it's all down to the parents when it comes to having tough conversations. And based on the notes they received from their children's teachers, it looks like these parents have some pretty serious discussions coming up with their kids.

Being a teacher is one of the noblest professions - being underpaid and overworked, to ensure that the next generation gets an education. But it's also a profession that comes complete with its challenges, including dealing with little kids' pettiness. Tattletales are an inevitable part of working with children, but sometimes teachers are presented with simply ridiculous scenarios. A Reddit thread asking teachers for the stupidest reasons a kid has told on someone else will provide you with endless entertainment and make you feel sorry for the teachers who had to mediate the scenarios these kids presented to them. Kids, eh?

Hide and seek is an age-old game that can go one of two ways: really well, or really badly. We've bought you horror stories of adults playing hide and seek that went wrong, but here are some pictures of kids who failed at playing the game equally as bad, but differently. You know the drill... they can't see you, so they think you can't see them. Bless their little souls. Scroll through and chuckle at how badly these kids got it. 

It's Sunday and that means one thing only...Exhausted parents tweeting the funniest things about their daily life with kids. 

Or as one of the parents brilliantly described it: "You think you are in charge of your house until your kid gets out of bed and you panic and hide the ice cream you are eating". On point. 

We have some more if you like.

Parenting is both challenging and rewarding—and sometimes very, very funny.
