The 7 year old with his keylock is too smart
15+ Children That Can Drive Adults Crazy in a Matter of Seconds

After children learn how to walk, they start to learn more and more about the world. They become interested in everything, like what certain toys taste like, what happens if you scratch a TV, or how to put a bunch of toys in an air vent. And at the age of 3, children want to do things on their own and help their parents around the house. But very often, they do it in such a way that makes their parents somewhat nervous.
We at Bright Side are sure that it’s not easy to be parents who are constantly cheerful and positive. Fortunately for us, many parents have shared the results of their kids’ hunger for exploration.
“Finally bought myself a nice 32” monitor, and my kid does this within 2 minutes of it being out of the box."
“My daughter took it upon herself to microwave some syrup for her waffles — for 5 minutes!”
“My son legitimately thought I wouldn’t find him.”
“My 4-year-old made himself a cheese sandwich.”
“All the stuff my son has put down the air conditioning vent over the last 6 years”
“Wrapper in the way? No problem.”
When you know how to calm your mom down:
“So my sister wanted orange juice...”
“My daughter helped me wash my car but with a rock.”
“The aftermath of my little brother eating a pool noodle”
When you understand life, even though you’re a child:
“Never let your younger siblings borrow erasers again.”
“I don’t think he can be trusted with technology for a while.”
“My mom was going through old scrapbooks and found this gem from when I was in second grade.”
“My 7-year-old son’s brilliant way to never lose the only key he has for this lock”
“My 5-year-old daughter is learning to cook. She cut carrots, parsley, cucumbers, onions, added mustard, and gave this salad to her dad.”
“My husband tried to hide this edible yet really spicy masterpiece in the fridge. But our daughter said, ’What you are you doing? You have to eat it. The plate has to be empty.’ That’s her grandmother’s favorite phrase, by the way. ’If you don’t listen to your child, your child won’t listen to you,’ is my husband’s favorite phrase.”
