kids

When trained the mind can be a beautiful instrument. Even without the training it's as if some of us are born with a bit more willpower than others. Sometimes that willpower can end up showing itself at a very young age. Especially during those toddler years that are already susceptible to all kinds of tomfoolery. There's something about kids during those years where they just can't be bothered to give a dang. This kid certainly showed off some impressive willpower. They're clearly going places. 

It's not completely outside the ordinary to see people end up acting like little rascals in response to the airtight confines of strict parenting. There's something hardwired into so many of us that creates a situation where we find ourselves rebelling just for the sake of being defiant. So, you put a kid in an environment where they're regularly being told what they can't do, with little room being left for them to let their wings fly, and you've pretty much got a situation ripe for rule breaking behavior. Naturally, this Twitter thread about how strict parenting can have the capacity for setting kids up for failure later in life, made some waves on Twitter. 

Mom's heart was in the right place. The only problem is that she might've been blinded by the love she clearly has for her children. Because, dude, Coke and Mentos is a literal recipe for disaster. And then you throw in a bunch of hyperactive kids? Oh, the end times have arrived. Hopefully mom was able to get the situation under control, and is able to impart her hard-earned wisdom upon anyone other parents in her social circle that (somehow) might not know better. 

There's no denying the fact that kids can oftentimes just be plain old weird and dumb. Harsh, but inarguably true. Their brains seem to operate at a different frequency, and slowly, maybe surely, as they get older they fall back in line with the rest of the way the world thinks. Before that though, we all get to witness hilarious moments of completely, strikingly clueless "kid logic." 

There's no question that kids are stupid and weird. We remember being afraid of getting flushed down the toilet as much as anyone else. All we can say is it's a shame that the natural state of a human being is to be so harmfully stupid. How did any of us make it this far? Growing up, was anyone else astounded that car blinkers somehow predicted exactly which way a car would turn every time? Seriously, there are too many clear signs that kids are weird and dumb.

Some baby names are far worse than others. You might've encountered a baby name out in the wild that left you mystified, troubled, helplessly confused. It's as if the parents had a terrible lapse in judgement, and for whatever reason decided to curse their poor kid with a name that would go on to haunt them into their later years. Hopefully none of these ring a bell. For a similar AskReddit thread check out some dumb baby names that parents (somehow) had to be talked out of. 

It's no question that kids are stupid and weird. They're horrible liars, they don't know how to read, they lack basic coordination skills and a lot of them look like they've never worked a day in their life. From sharpie-ing the dog to attempting to eat wax fruit, there's more than enough proof that kids are stupid and weird.

This teacher's viral story about teaching deaf kids how farts work is a hilariously wholesome little tale. Taking a moment and picturing the look of shock and the confusion thereafter on these kids faces as they learn about the wild world of farts is just golden. 

Kids are weird and they lie a lot, but there's a really strange tendency for three and four-year-olds to mention "back when I flew helicopters in 'nam" or "my previous mother wasn't as nice as you." Is it a weird combination of dreams they had, the power of suggestion, and the fact that kids sometimes don't know what they're saying? Almost certainly. Is it also extremely creepy when a very small child insists that they were a crooked cop who was buried in an unmarked grave? Very much so, yeah. Here's a twitter thread of people's kids saying similarly creepy stuff.

We'd bet that a lot of parents out there are bound to relate to this hilariously wholesome accident. Apparently the whole family ended up getting accidentally "sleeptrained" by a strangely adorable little stuffed worm toy thing. Whatever works, I guess. 

Oh, the unparalleled panic of losing your kid at the store. It's common knowledge that kids are weird and dumb, and as it stands they shouldn't be trusted. Look away for a second and they're off trying to drink toilet water or join a new family. Sure, we eventually grow to resent the illogical things our parents do, but for a real long time it's you being the idiot.

There's too much proof out there that kids are stupid and weird. Sure, they have a few legitimate reasons for their uncontrollable dumbness, like the fact that their brains aren't done developing. But that's not enough. These things will walk around like they own the place, getting their heads stuck in fences and spilling syrup everywhere. Kids are just weird and stupid people.
