19 Kids Who Surprised Their Parents With More Than They Meant To

It seems that a perfect balance of innocence and mischievousness comes naturally to children. You could never predict what they might say or do next or what their colorful imagination might surprise us with. Whatever it is, trying to decipher a kid’s mind is like going on a voyage to a dreamland that makes us adults go through all kinds of emotions, but it always ends with an infinite dose of affection and love.
