family

Careful, this one might bring on the tears. 

They took this one on RPG style and the results are glorious, and in need of all the respect. 

Thomas Romain is an animation artist who lives in Tokyo. He takes his sons drawings as inspiration and translates them into his own art style. Prepare to be jealous that your dad never adapted your own inventive childhood doodles into professional-level artwork.

These people used their imaginations to hatch up some truly unnerving lies to mess with their siblings. 

The real challenge is not letting the kid know they're being funny. Kids can't know that yelling obscenities in a crowded bookstore is hilarious. It'd totally throw off their priorities.

Hopefully any holiday hiccups or full-blown disasters you encountered on Turkey Day pale in comparison to these waking nightmares. 

Keep your friends close, and make sure your enemies can't touch your stuff. Turns out people will break your nice things and steal your pills. Even if it's something like dog ear medicine.

So apparently if you don't keep an urn sealed well enough, the human remains inside turn into a formidable brick of your loved one. Luckily, we live in 2018 so you can go to the internet for answers. And especially luckily, people have more to offer than just a simple solution. They also have terrifically dark one-liners.

Hopefully things worked out for these parents in the long run...everyone has their moment. 

Guess finding out her blood type was a negative...

More impressed at these siblings ability to remain so close later on into their years. Outside that, it's clear that some kinds of pictures only makes sense when we're kids. 

Bizarre family quirks are our favorite. What makes sense within one family as some sort of respected tradition might be nothing short of utter madness to the rest of the world. And long as nobody's getting hurt, that's okay. 

When you spend a lot of time around a small group of people, you start to develop...shall we say, eccentricities?

Whether it's a lack of free time or the sheer difficulty, these people have figured out what does NOT work for them.

I get it, your house is your own private space and whatever rules you believe in apply inside. Sure, that's reasonable. Don't like me to swear inside your house? I won't. Don't want me to wear shoes inside your house? I'll leave them outside. But some of the things in these stories from Redditors are way beyond reasonable requests. I get that it's your house and children can be messy sometimes but... whoa. Take a chill pill and relax. Read on for some extremely weird and hilarious house rules some poor kids had to live with. 

People live some dramatic lives. Secret girlfriends, criminal syndicate pasts, and  absolutely intolerable relatives are just a few of the topics of these stories. Also, some dads are just really petty and don't like cottage cheese.
