20+ Kids Who Manage to Surprise Their Parents Every Day

On average, children inquire about 73 queries daily. Regrettably, there is no official record of the exact number of facepalms parents endure daily due to their kids’ antics, but we can safely assume it’s quite substantial! And it’s not only the inquiries that lead to this reaction. Every now and then, children engage in actions that leave you torn between bursting into laughter or shedding a tear. The collection of 19 pictures below beautifully captures that very sentiment.
