weird

These poor parents have seen some shit. 

In true Henry the 8th fashion, this guy has decided he wants a son to carry on his family name. Judging by some of the criteria here, it looks like the kind of thing an entitled person who makes laughable demands would try to pull off. It's unclear if writing up a big offer full of rules and ultimatums is a good way to carry on one's genes, but hey, most of us haven't tried. Either way, This dude is making some pretty wild promises about his future kid.

Nathan Rippenger has illustrated some of the stranger things he's said to his children. (Prints are available at his Etsy shop.) What's the weirdest thing you've ever said to your kids? How did they respond?

Parenting is difficult. Parents often don't know what they're doing, so they have to figure it out on the fly. We've all had that moment when your parents find out that you've learned a new swear word, and have to deal with the fallout. Some parents will make you put soap in your mouth. Others will send you to your room. Sometimes they just start swearing too, and that's pretty cool. Often parents try to get creative with their punishments. Some are incredibly effective. Some aren't. Other ones are super creepy and cause lasting psychological damage. Anyway, here are weird punishments.

Sometimes we discover things that we didn't realize we were passionate about. For example, there's a right and wrong way to eat a burrito, and no one is allowed to argue otherwise. Sure, there are people out there making cursed foods from lucifer's larder all the time, but to go as far as to eat basic stuff the wrong way? That's asking for a fight.
