children

Kids just believe the darnedest things. 

Probably the most wholesome cookbook you've ever seen. The kids who wrote it are a mystery, but that doesn't mean we can't recreate the recipes to honor these young culinary masterminds. Some recipes seem harder than others. How much flour is 18 minutes of flour?

Having kids is hard. I don't personally have any, but I was a kid once, so I can only imagine what my parents went through. Children have their own agenda, which includes eating candy for dinner and complaining if asked to help. As a parent, getting angry at your children probably isn't the most effective way to mould them into good human beings. But there's this thing called reverse psychology, and it's amazing. After reading the following posts from AskReddit, I realized that my own parents duped me with reverse psychology. Sneaky... and clever. Well done, parents. 

Kids say the darnedest things these days. Most of the time I need a translation to understand their slang. These Whisper confessions from parents and siblings of little ones show us that even the youngest ones have adopted this new talk. It makes me feel old. 

You want your kids to be smart, but you don't want them to be so smart that they realize you're full of shit.

Make sure to listen to the right people. Seriously, what kind of Mother-in-law hearsay superstitious bullshit is this?

Some of these methods are a mere inconvenience while others are life-shattering. This is spitefulness at its worst.

A romance novel called "But You're a Horse"? You had us at "Horse". What will the neigh-bors think? Sounds like a real page-turner.

These people's childhood moments are legit terrifying. Props they were able to move past them and live their lives.

@JenAshleyWright asked people about their weirdest childhood misunderstandings.

Ahh, the joys of parenting. Rearing your offspring from infancy just so that they can destroy everything you own, love, and aspire to be. Not to say that there aren't perks to being a parent, but this post is not about those things. This post is about when you have to remember how much you love you child when they destroy your new flatscreen TV, your car or one of your body parts. I'm not exaggerating. The brave parents of Reddit shared the very worst things their children have destroyed, and I'm secretly glad that I don't have kids yet. 

In the wake of heavy scrutiny for detaining migrant children and separating them from their families, the U.S. State Department chose a pretty weird time to tweet about traveling with your family.

Some of the realest people out there, totally unafraid to say something stupid.

They're funny too, but that's not really how it feels by the end.

These kids are definitely going places....we're just know so sure if those places are "good."

We're not totally sure what's going on in some of these photos, but we're pretty sure that some of these people shouldn't have kids.
