We know that kids are weird and dumb. They believe the dumbest of lies, get strange ideas in their heads, and then get those very same heads stuck in chairs. We know just how weird and dumb kids are because we were kids and we were dumber than anyone.

Let's face it, most of us are too paranoid for our own good. We make up stories and wild explanations for even the smallest things in our lives. Most are outlandish and are more an exercise in creativity, but some of these conspiracy theories seem to make almost too much sense.

Kids are pretty dumb and easy to trick. Even if no one is trying to make them look dumb, they do a fantastic job of looking stupid all on their own. It's not exactly their fault, I mean, they're completely new here. They basically were in fact, born yesterday. So while kids are dumb and weird, they're sort of allowed to be that way.

Eye-Defying photos of weird perspective can give your eyes a workout and make you have to think about what it is you're actually looking at.

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. 

You may not want to eat at a restaurant ever again.

People still have a really hard time discerning between The Onion and real news. Somehow.
