20+ Times Kids Reminded Us Their World Is Totally Different From Ours

Most parents come to realize that making plans with children is often a losing battle. Things rarely turn out the way they were supposed to. Kids experience life with a sense of wonder and rarely feel bound by social norms. They act in ways that leave parents and adults shaking their heads, taking a deep breath, and muttering, “It’s okay... just stay calm.”

“I had the shower door wedged open with a broom. Daughter tried to close the shower door. Oops.”

Daughter put plastic plate in toaster oven.

“I know they look tasty, but they have ‘soap’ stamped into them.”

“Got my PS5 less than 24 hours ago. I love having kids.”

“Left my teenage son with the pizza.”

“Life before and after kids. As demonstrated by my toddler’s well-loved Ducky and new backup Ducky”

“How my 13-year old daughter and her friends eat cake...”

“I can’t see anything!”

“My son pulled the faucet out of the wall.”

“My kids welcomed me home from work today with some breaking news.”

“My daughter said she could put her own ketchup on her plate.”

“Me: Here’s your UNCRUSTABLE. My son:”

“My 8-year-old daughter trolling me”

“Would you pay 3 chocolate coins and 1 cookie for these nails? Courtesy of my 2.5-year-old daughter.”

“I found where my 3-year-old twins have been hiding my loose change.”

“We were planning on selling our set of 2 barstools that are no longer in use... Thanks 4-year-old niece who was ‘bored’.”

“Son was being too quiet last night, so I went to check on him and found this masterpiece made out of baby powder on the floor.”

“I love my son but”

My 16 y/o son leaves a few drops of Gatorade in each bottle... only to sting the last few drops and still proceed to leave the bottles in the fridge. My wife wanted to see how many he’d leave in the fridge, but my OCD got the best of me.

“When kids play with adult toys”

“My 3-year-old son decided to microwave our 3DS.”

“My 3 year old daughter did this today to my favorite thesaurus which I held perfect for almost 20 years since school”

BONUSES:

  • It was a quiet afternoon until my mother-in-law decided to lecture my son about interrupting. “It’s not polite,” she said, wagging a finger at him. Without missing a beat, he looked up and said, “But Grandma, you always interrupt too. Like when mom says the food’s good, and you say ‘No, it’s too salty’ without even trying it.” She froze. “I don’t—” He shrugged and added, "And you don’t like Mom’s clothes, but she looks pretty. You just want to feel better about your own. She turned red, speechless, while he casually went back to his toys. I couldn’t help but admire his honesty. He’d just turned her criticism right back at her, and honestly, it was kind of brilliant.
  • My boyfriend wanted me to babysit his 7-year-old daughter for the weekend, but I made it clear I wasn’t doing it for free anymore. When he dropped her off, I demanded that he pay me first. Later that night, his daughter came up to me and said, “So... does this mean you actually like me, or just my dad’s wallet?” I laughed nervously—turns out, even the kids know when they’re part of the paycheck deal.
