children

What can we say? Kids are dumb. Growing up, everyone had that kid at school who tried to get away with as much BS as possible. Sometimes a kid tried to convince everyone else he had a pet dinosaur, or that his dad was a secret agent. And since we were all kids and no one knew better, sometimes we'd go on believing these idiotic lies for days before that same kid's dad picked him up from school in his catering truck. Lying to kids seems to be a big part of the human experience, hence these adults who are still salty about the unjust lies they were told as kids. Some people are just dumb and try lying to their healthcare professionals. And some people still try to lie online just for fake internet points.

Kids are stupid people. We're not saying children's stupidity is their fault. Their brains just don't work too good. We've seen it in ourselves when we we kids, and we see it in them every day. They give us a lot of evidence and moments of failure that articulate exactly how poorly a young mind works. They learn though. Well, most of them anyway.

People assume it's easy to be a kid, like the whole "not working or paying taxes" thing. That said, a lot of us forget about the challenges of growing up. A lot of being a kid is learning how stupid you are, and discovering all the ways the world can disappoint you. These result in meltdowns over stupid things. Seriously, kids have a lot of dumb meltdowns.

You didn't hear it here first, but kids have meltdowns over mundane things. Lets face it, children aren't smart, and they just don't have it in them to be subtle. You'd be this upset too if it was the first time in your entire life someone didn't meet your illogical expectations. Thanks to this, exhausted parents have tons of stories about their kids dumb meltdowns. It's hard being a kid. Okay, it's actually pretty easy when you consider what it's like being an adult, but still.

There's no question that kids are stupid creatures. We don't hate them, we're just impartial enough to acknowledge that they're dumb little idiots who make a lot of stupid mistakes, are boring to talk to, and have meltdowns over the dumbest things. Again, we do not hate children. That said, they are in fact, a hassle, as the following images go to show.

It's a pretty well known fact that, well, kids are stupid creatures. Kids aren't necessarily good at anything, so when they get a chance to brag, they take it. Even if it's the smallest thing you wouldn't think of as a real achievement, they'll let you know about it. Here are some strange flexes people saw in their own kids as well as themselves as children.

Some people grow out of it, some don't. Children are stupid idiots. Sure, they're just learning everything about the world for the first time, but hot damn are they dumb as rocks for a while there. We were dumb too. We're still dumb, but we can do long division and drive, so that's pretty good. 

The struggles of parenting birth their own comedy gems all the time, so here are some funny and relatable bits and pieces for those of you who have kids. Or if you don't have kids and just want to live a parenting lifestyle vicariously through memes, that would work too.

Ah, the old days. Back when life was simple. You could take candy from strangers, no one wore seatbelts and teachers could hit kids. Why did things ever change.

You can tell a child all day that holding a cup of water upside down is a bad idea, but they're not gonna believe you until they screw it up for themselves. Sadly, toddlers learn every day that the world doesn't bend to their needs, and with learning comes earth-shattering tantrums. For more of these, here are snaps of kids having total meltdowns over mundane things.

Kids will believe just about anything if their parents are saying it. These folks need to tone it down on the lying...

Let's make no bones about it, kids are stupid as hell. They're mean, cruel idiots who screw up constantly. It's considered an insult to call an adult childish. If you knew anyone who acted like kids do, they'd be kicked out of your friend group immediately. I guess they're the future or something so we keep em around. For more kids being dumb, here are some completely stupid reasons kids had meltdowns.

Some parents tell their kids lies to protect them from information that might hurt them. Some parents lie to their kids to avoid a tantrum or maybe they're just too tired to explain a complex problem. Then there's other parents who just lie to their kids to see how bad they can screw them up and laugh at the results. That's what our parents were like. For more, here are some of the funniest lies parents told their kids.

Sometimes life is going just fine, you're minding your own business, then a bee decides to land on your hand for a second. You think, "oh holy crap this is totally unacceptable. I must let everyone know about the injustice that bee has done, landing on my hand for a second." So you wail as hard as you can for 3 hours, screaming at the top of your lungs, hitting your head against the wall, because of that awful, awful bee. Anyway, for more irrational tantrums, here are more the dumbest reasons kids had meltdowns.
