kids

If you're new on the planet, it's extremely easy to mishear something once and have an extremely skewed idea of the world for a few years. Kids are dumb and weird, but usually the grow up into less dumb adults. Sometimes they don't, and people end of hearing the dumbest things ever.

We all had some weird and backwards beliefs as kids. Some of us got tricked into "playing" video games on unplugged controllers. Some of us tried to hide behind see-though drapes. It's good that we learn from there, but it never undoes the stupid things kids do. Life gives us many moments of kids being stupid and weird. 

Parents are fully aware that kids can be a real mixed bag. Sometimes kids are weird and dumb, and other times kids can be too smart for their own good. Here are tweets of parents who found their kids sayings for existing places and things that were either wildly inaccurate or strangely too accurate.

These parenting attempts definitely came from a warm and loving place. That being said, they definitely err on the side of being absolutely absurd. 

Did anyone need any more proof that kids are stupid and weird? Probably not. We remember all the times we tried to hide behind a window or cried because we ate all of our french fries. Most of us grow out of it, but we also leave behind too many moments that prove kids are dumb and weird.

You don't need to be an adult for long to realize that kids are extremely dumb and weird. It makes you go back and think about all the weird junk you must have done as a kid. Maybe you had an irrational fear of cardboard boxes or thought dirt tasted good. In the opposite direction, here's a story of a five-year-old who's way too smart for her own good.

It's a well known fact that kids aren't smart people. They might become smart people someday, but even that isn't a sure thing. We don't even need evidence that kids are stupid and weird because we were kids and we just know how dumb we were. No matter what you tell em, they're still gonna be dumb and weird.

If you're the kind of person who likes sleeping and not cleaning chocolate sauce out of your couch, it's good to think really hard about the decision to have kids. Kids are stupid and weird and disaster tends to follow them, so let these be a reminder. We remember being weird and dumb kids, and we're not sure if we'd want to deal with us.

This woman put up with a whole lot of chaos from some kids that were staying in a neighboring hotel room. Ultimately, she decided to remove herself from the situation. When the mom of the kids realized this was happening, she proceeded to make all of her kids apologize to her. Sounds like she was having none of the mom's attitude, and proceeded to ask for her to apologize. Mom did not take too kindly to this request. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the moments people have experienced where they realized they weren't kids anymore. As we grow up, many of us look back on the days of our youth, longing for that simpler time when worries were nonexistent altogether. Or if there were worries, they were completely silly and of little importance at all. Some of these might strike a chord. 

Kids give people way too much proof that they're stupid and weird. They have completely irrational fears, make horrible choices and they're easily tricked. We know because we remember having irrational fears, making horrible choices and being tricked. They usually get better, but in the meantime here are moments that show kids are dumb and weird. 

When we were stupid and weird kids we were too busy digging holes for no reason and hitting each other with sticks to think through diabolical plots like this. In fact, we probably wouldn't think to do this today. Here are some weird things parents caught their kids doing.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the times that teachers realized kids were gifted. Sometimes the signs are just too obvious to miss. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the most trivial things people miss from their childhood. Oh, to be a kid again. It's a strange time when if one is lucky, their world isn't burdened by the wealth of "adulting concerns" that otherwise can haunt one's existence as they grow older. 

Kids are some of the dumbest, strangest people on the planet. They have ridiculous beliefs, are easy to trick, and can't do anything for themselves. It's so bad that to call someone childish is an enormous insult. Sure, their brains aren't fully formed, but holy crap are kids stupid and weird.

It's all about the context here in this particular AITA. Dad had saved money for his son's college fund, which ultimately didn't end up getting used, because his son decided to drop out. Fast forward, and the son is asking his dad if he could tap into the college fund for what sounds like newlywed expenses/alleviating debt. Dad was not about it, because the whole point of the money was for it to be used for college.
