When it comes to kids, there’s no way to anticipate what they’ll do from minute to minute. Especially if you’re a parent, you know all too well what that means. Whether they’re being goofy or serious, you can expect a lot of funny and awkward moments. It’s called life.
Thankfully, people haven’t been shy about posting photos of their kids and the crazy things they do. Although at the expense of children, that makes for some great entertainment for people who spend time looking at things on the internet.
Are you needing a good laugh today? If so, these 75 photos of funny and awkward kids are sure to do the trick.
In all fairness, at her height this was the best part of the bunny to hold onto. But what makes this photo even funnier is the static expression on the rabbit’s face. This is definitely a cringe-worthy moment.
…okay, we have no idea. We’re not sure if this was a toy sold in a store or if the little girl was showcasing her creative side. Either way, it’s downright weird.
Yes, his mom wanted her son to get some exercise so she recommended he take his bike out for a spin. But she didn’t say a word about peddling. The next time she might want to be a little clearer with the instructions.
4. Speaking of miscommunication
“It’s too nice of a day to be indoors, go outside to play games,” mom said. So, being an obedient child, that’s what he did. What a hoot.
Just imagine the panic this mom felt when her kids told her there was water running near the washing machine. After jumping up to go check, this is what she found.
She looks like she’s had one too many drinks or hasn’t slept a wink in over a week. And it’s all thanks to a little girl who decided to use her makeup on Cinderella. A cosmetologist in training…probably not.
If you’ve ever had a child get stuck in a room, you know just quickly they go into panic mode. One 7-year-old girl decided to come up with a solution after she couldn’t get out of the bathroom.
Ah…a mother and daughter spending time in the park feeding the pigeons. But for whatever reason, the girl decided she’d rather eat the seeds than to let the bird have them.
While traveling on plane, this boy didn’t have any way to keep his phone propped up and eat a sandwich. Then a lightbulb went off in his head. It’s okay, he doesn’t even like bananas.
After watching his mom do planks throughout the day, it didn’t take long for this little guy to figure out how to mimic her. We have to say, he’s pretty darn good.
Perhaps this 13-year-old boy needs to study harder in school. After buying him a day planner, his mom told him to fill in the days of the month. Good try. Okay, not really.
12. She stole the spotlight
One preschool told the parents their children could come to school dressed up for Halloween. Along with a lot of witches and princesses was this 3-year-old. We blame this on the parents.
Oh, you know, just a baked doll head. Let’s hope this kid isn’t taking after her mom or dad in the kitchen. Then again, with the right seasoning…
A 9-year-old bought his mom the greatest thing ever for her birthday…a plastic bag of batteries…no card and no gift. We hope they realize that gives her carte blanc to buy an expensive item that just so happens to use those specific batteries.
With the millions of things kids can dress up like for Halloween, why in the world would this 11-year-old girl want to be a Tide pod? We suppose there are worse options.
16. Standing up for what you believe in
One of the many responsibilities that parents have is to teach their kids to stand up for what they believe is right. In this case, it’s all about this boy’s love of trains.
One woman loved that her 6-year-old niece enjoyed playing with dolls. But that changed one day when she saw this. The explanation — they were all trying to raise mom back from the dead. By the way, she was still alive.
This boy got his message across loud and clear…he hates shopping. But can you imagine how embarrassing his mom must’ve felt? Maybe she just kept walking and pretended she didn’t know him.
If Darth Vader approached most little boys, they’d start screaming or crying. But not this one. First, he wasn’t even scared. Second, he gladly reached out and took his hand. His mom is feeling a little worried and confused.
Wanting to do something nice for his mom, one little boy decided to fix her a cup of morning coffee. While his heart was in the right place, we’re not sure it tasted very good.
She might still be quite young but this sweet baby knows a real ballerina when she sees one. And she was beyond thrilled to meet this woman in person. This is priceless.
22. Inspired by Shakespeare
From the looks of it, this kid aspires to be the next Shakespeare. Hopefully, as he gets older, he’ll realize he can write more than one word on each page. Otherwise, his first book is going to weigh 10 pounds.
23. Honesty at its finest
You have to give props for this kid for being honest. On the other hand, he needs to learn that biting is never okay regardless of the targeted area on the body.
At the age of two, a child has no idea they just picked out the creepiest Halloween costume ever. But if she sees this photo when she gets older, she’ll probably have nightmares for the rest of her life.
Once again, parents need to be clearer when telling their kids what to do. Yes, this boy’s mom told him to use chopsticks. But what she failed to mention was how.
For this boy to do this in the middle of a store, he must’ve really wanted to get his point across. Thankfully, that product was still new. At least we hope he didn’t get it out of the bathroom.
27. When sleepiness takes over
Kids can sleep anywhere. When they need a nap, it doesn’t matter where they are or what they’re laying on. We have just one question…doesn’t that hurt?
Just imagine rolling over in bed at 3:00 a.m. to see this on the baby monitor. Just looking at this photo makes my heart pound and my palms sweat. We’re sure she’s a sweet little girl.
29. Perhaps a little passive/aggressive?
This kid’s mom told them to write an apology letter. We have no idea why and it seems he doesn’t either. We’re guessing this didn’t sit too well with the mom.
Why did this boy have a full five-minute meltdown? Because his mother wouldn’t let him drink pancake syrup from the bottle. It’s not fair. Buddy from the movie Elf did it.
31. Heading to the dark side
Yes, he’s just five, but with a mentality like that, his parents might be a little bit concerned. If nothing else, they should start sleeping with one eye open. Just saying.
One mom was a little freaked out when she could hear someone quietly calling her name…but then things got scarier. When she looked at the baby monitor, this is what she saw. What’s up with all these baby monitors?
Whether parents like it or not, the time will come when their kid says a curse word. But for one mom, that time came early when her 8-year-old wanted to give her a Mother’s Day card that included one bad word.
This was one girl’s attempt at being funny. While it’s not the most hysterical thing we’ve ever seen, considering she’s only nine, she did a pretty good job. Keep it up, kid.
While at the beach, a young girl ran up to her mom to tell her she’d found $100 in the sand. Shoot, we’d be excited too. But then the mom discovered it was counterfeit. So disappointing.
It’s a good thing for this teacher that her student wasn’t psychic. If anything, he sounds a little bit on the weird side. No more hand-kissing for you, young man.
From the look on the child’s face who took first place, she didn’t understand why the one who came in third was so darn excited. You know what they say about making lemonade out of lemons” It’s about choosing to be happy.
38. That doesn’t seem right
Everyone knows the tale of the dog who ate the homework. But in this case, the child writes a note to the tooth fairy to explain her cat ate her tooth. Something about this sounds a little fishy.
39. Giving mom a heart attack
Walking into the bathroom first thing in the morning to be greeted with this would give about anyone a heart attack. While the mom wasn’t impressed, her kids thought their prank was hilarious.
In the eyes of a four-year-old girl, this card was perfect to give to her aunt in celebration of her birthday. Come on, the dog is precious. And in all fairness, the girl can’t read.
This is one of those school papers parents hang onto only to taunt their child when they reach adulthood. Regardless if this kid was being funny or taking the instructions way too literal, you have to admit it’s a riot.
42. Dad’s famous expression
It seems this dad’s 12-year-old daughter, along with a bunch of her friends, think the face he makes when he’s aggravated is worthy enough to be the screenshot on their phones. We see another face coming really soon.
43. Just following orders
When a mom told her son to eat at least half of his hot dog, she didn’t specify which half. So, he took an educated guess. He wasn’t wrong.
The same “at least eat half” rule applies to chicken nuggets as well. Good grief…how are kids supposed to know which half is right and which is wrong? Give them a break, mom and dad.
When a young boy got tired of other people using his poof, he decided to do something about it. That’s one way to solve an otherwise complicated problem. Let’s hope he never loses the key.
46. They must be teenagers
Why do some kids have to make everything so difficult? All this mom wanted was for her boys to put their shoes outside of the door. How much do you want to bet they’ve started puberty?
This mom wanted to know if her children had eaten all the strawberries. They answered truthfully with “no.” What they failed to mention is that they only left her one.
48. There’s always that one kid
Every family with more than one child gets it. At least one of the kids is going to buck the system…even if that means wearing a sweater the wrong way.
49. More inadequate instructions
For all you moms and dads out there, if you want your child to perform a certain task, you have to be very specific. This mom told her child to put these items in the bathroom…one more sentence like “under the cabinet” and the job would’ve been done perfectly.
50. Curiosity is killing us
With an answer like this, we’d love to know if this led to an unscheduled parent/teacher conference. If so, it’d be fun to be a fly on the wall.
51. A fun family tradition
To a 3=year-old, there’s a significant difference between a “toast” that involves clinking champagne glasses on New Year’s Eve and “toast” that gets buttered. So, to make things easier for her, they opted to create a new family tradition for the latter one.
52. Debate master and licensed attorney
With an answer like this, we believe this kid will excel in high school debate, followed by passing the bar to become a prominent attorney. We love this kid.
53. The protective big brother
This boy’s mom asked if he would keep an eye on his little sister while she finished cooking supper. Let’s just say he takes his role quite seriously. And he’s only five.
54. The weight of the world…
…resting on this little girl’s shoulders. She desperately wants to help her mom with the baby but by the looks of it, all that responsibility is starting to take its toll.
The only thing this little girl needed to take a nap was a pillow. But she didn’t want to go back inside to get one. So, she drew a pillow with the chalk she’d been playing with.
Shortly after putting her son to bed, the mom hears a noise. But upon inspection, she doesn’t find anything. About 15 minutes later, she decides to peek in on him again. That’s when she noticed he’d taken the lid off the fish tank so he could sleep with his pet.
This girl thought if she laid under the rug and stayed really quiet, her mom and dad wouldn’t know she was out of bed instead of sleeping like she was supposed to. Busted.
58. Either a scientist or arsonist in the making
Hopefully, this kid is more interested in the science end of things. But with an answer on a school paper like this, it certainly makes you wonder.
This mom has a simple explanation why her two kids look so different in the morning. Her son is her animal spirit. Alrighty then. Come to think of it, he does kind of look like a wild beast of some sort.
That’s the sound of the clock as the teacher waits patiently for this student to come up with a bona fide answer. He might need some extra help on this one.
One boy was invited to a “Super Hero” birthday party that included the opportunity to learn martial arts. As you can see, he wasn’t kidding around.
When the family dog peed on the couch, which was followed by a not-so-nice response from mom, this kid couldn’t resist documenting it in beautiful crayon colors. For a small child, that’s amazingly good.
This adorable boy was convinced that when he dressed up as a Ninja, he became invisible. Being a good mom, she took a photo to prove he was right. Sorry, kid, the shoes blew it.
We love to see kids dressed up for Halloween. Usually, you can figure out what they’re supposed to be but this time, you have to think outside of the box. We’re just wondering who had the idea of this boy going Trick or Treating as a fart.
Kids are so funny and awkward as shown in this photo. You got it…this sweet baby discovered the doggie door. Of course, instead of helping him out, his aunt chose to snap a photo instead. Who can blame her?
This boy loves his aunt. So much so that when she brought her boyfriend over to meet him, he wanted to make sure the new guy understood who was in charge. In that outfit, no one will mess with his aunt.
It’s sad when children have to attend grief counseling but some do. For this kid, chicken helped him get through some really tough times.
68. What did it ever to do her?
For the life of us, we can’t figure out why this girl hates the sun. But she does and she wants the world to know. You go, girl…yell away.
This is hilarious. This girl’s mom snapped a photo of her daughter at just the right time. She looks as though she could be part of some sci-fi movie.
If this kid has dreams of going to college or even moving on from the third grade for that matter, he better get serious about his school work. But it’s kind of funny.
That hurt. But here’s the deal. We’re not sure but there’s a good chance this mom isn’t more than 30 years old. Yet in her daughter’s eyes, she’s ancient. Just wait, her time’s coming.
72. What’s going on here?
At first glance, it looks like this child drew her family in nooses. But after questioning her, she told her mom the picture was of everyone snorkeling. Whew…good to know.
It was a rainbow. Doesn’t everyone know that? When this girl needed an answer, she simply turned to the colorful arches in the sky.
Which is funnier? Is it the fact this precious girl thought the image on the product was her? Or is it that her brother is busy making out with the mirror in the background? It’s a toss-up.
Sure, that makes sense, right? Well, we’re trying hard to rationalize this kid’s answer but we’re having a hard time. Don’t you love the mind of a child?
