50 naive kids that have a lot to learn about this thing called life

Kids. Gotta love them. They can provide you will endless entertainment. They can make you crazy.

However, all that boundless energy and those curious minds are often the perfect recipe for some crazy stunts or just crazy thoughts. They can put themselves in horrifyingly dangerous situations and not have a clue. Which means you’re always chasing around behind them.

Follow along as I share 50 times kids showed us how naive they can be. They have a lot to learn!

1. Identically unperturbed

You think you have a morning where you can sleep in quietly. Little did you suspect that your twins were having some fun with the clippers.

2. Brilliant mom

I’m so glad my mom wasn’t quite this diabolical. Actually, she was, but not in ways that had me cleaning the house and thinking I was doing it to save myself.

3. Be careful what you wish for

This is cute. There are so many things we want to grow up to be when we’re kids. But we really don’t put a lot of thought into what that could mean for us.

4. Okay, dad

Actually, I think she was rather clever. Dad needs to be more specific, especially when it comes to icky jobs that probably should be doing anyway.

5. You just need a nap

Funny, but probably not nice to mess with your kid’s heads like this. You might regret this when they have language comprehension issues later in life.

6. To be fair…

Who else here—and I mean you adults—can relate to this? Like when I’m looking for my sunglasses and they’re on my head. Or the keys that are in my pocket… and the list goes on.

7. I’d cry too

Oh sweetie, I understand. That pizza on the ground, all upside down. But you can’t carry the box sideways. It doesn’t work like that.

8. The scream

I’m pretty sure he’s up on a bed. He’s up on something, anyway. And I’m partly wholly blaming the parent or whoever should have been watching him for this happening. That kid should have been on the ground.

9. The innocence of children

This is actually kind of sweet. And incredibly naïve. She clearly had no clue what being African American meant. The teacher’s “are you sure” cracks me up, though.

10. Bet she was mom’s favorite

Please, mom! Please? We want to play Cinderella. I bet mom laughed her ass off as she handed out the chores.

11. Automatic

If any of you have used Microsoft Word, you have seen this. And you know what they mean by automatic. This child thought it was another name for black.

12. Lack of patience

Oh, follow the link in the pic and watch this with sound. Poor little thing really smacked her forehead. The sound it makes…

13. The world is not your friend

Honestly, parents need to educate their kids about sharing personal info. This kid shared his Nintendo code. Did he not realize that everyone would just use it themselves? That’s like posting your credit card info for the world to see.

14. Living statues

It all depends on where you live. I believe that in some Asian countries Buddha’s where made with monks inside.

15. That’s not a doll

First, where did this child learn that slapping in the face was okay? Second, I really shouldn’t have laughed.

16. Ooh, shiny

Brand new car. You have to wonder if this was something the parents slaved and toiled to be able to pay for. And then their 3-year-old paints on it with a rock.

17. Nope. Not time for a camera

Seriously, if that falls, that kid could be blinded by flying glass. You must really trust the strength of that install to let this happen.

18. Impressive

This is the work of a 1-year-old that realized the cat needed to be fed. Good work, I would say.

19. No one will notice

Have you ever noticed that stupid people—and children—always assume no one is smarter than they are? And they can’t figure out how they get caught so easily?

20. I’m hearing Sesame Street

“One of these things is not like the other.” It actually took a moment before I spotted it too.

21. Pepper is pepper

A young girl decides she is going to make a meal for her family. She follows a recipe for a chicken dish, but realizes they don’t have any bell peppers, and she needs a cup of them diced. But since pepper is pepper, she used a cup of black pepper instead.

22. Why not?

If the question doesn’t exist, how can you be expected to answer it? It so existential.

23. Who did this?

Who did this? I love how she just repeats it back to him. This is some very expensive baby formula the kids decided to have fun with.

24. These guys are going places

Maybe jail one day. So they egged several homes in the neighborhood and then posted about the deed on social media. No one will ever guess who did it now.

25. Conversations with toddlers

Equally exhausting and mind-bending at times. The total lack of logic but the total certainty that they are making perfect sense.

26. I’m hiding

That’s so sweet. She’s telling her dad that she’s hiding. And she doesn’t even have a finger up covering one eye. “You can’t see me!”

27. Not so virtual reality

I never thought of how difficult it might be for some kids to deduce reality. And as I ponder on that, I fear even more for future generations.

28. Was she supposed to do that?

I can’t decide if that was rehearsed and part of the occasion, or if she decided she was going to ad lib. Either way, that poor kid behind her!

29. Well, I don’t know

Is it really the child who is the stupid one here? Because that dad has pretty much set himself up for this.

30. Nickelodeon slime

I have to admit to not having a clue what Nickelodeon slime is. But apparently getting it out of your hair is problematic.

31. Try it, you’ll see!

Wrong color, kiddo. This is the result of a child hitting the buffet by themselves. They though these were oranges.

32. Shudder

I hate salmon, so this is doubly horrifying. This kid smothers his salmon in ketchup.

33. Slave labor

What is with schools making kids raise money? I mean I get it, but the kids should get more out of it than their education, right?

34. Oh, dear

I think if you are going to get kids to right to service men overseas, you need to educate them a bit on the subject of war.

35. She’s dead

Or at least she believes she’s dead because she has closed her eyes. Add the costume to that, and she is sure she qualifies as a dead person.

36. 5-year-old art

Audrey drew her mom this lovely picture. Thankfully, she also provided and explanation. Mommy has a mad face because she’s angry about the fact her arm has fallen off.

37. This is a stuffed toy

Two young boys believe it’s real. Because they were told it’s a real live Guinea pig. They’re either very dumb or very trusting. By the way, they’ve believed this for several months, not moments.

38. You’re making that up

Kids crack me up. Tell them the truth and they think it’s a lie. Tell them a lie, and they think it’s the truth.

39. Be very quiet

She’s hiding from mom. And there is absolutely no way mom can see her, right? So as long as she doesn’t make a noise that gives herself away, she is perfectly well hidden. Or so she thinks.

40. Who is stupid?

This dad is trying to sell some in-game currency. I would love to know the actual dollar amount, because what’s a fortune to one person is chump change to another. But dad, why do kids that can’t be trusted have access to your credit card or bank account?

41. Did your parents know this?

Can you imagine having perfect teeth and trying to make them crooked. Just so you could wear braces and cost your parents several thousand dollars in dental work?

42. It still is

Hard, I mean. Math was hard for me at 6 and never stopped being hard. Despite having a math geek for a father, math continues to be beyond my reach. It’s a good thing I have words.

43. Someone took a bite!

There are kids that are starving in this world. I used to hate it when my parents told me that. To be thankful I had food and stop being picky. This child is refusing to eat more because someone took a bite out of it already. Yes, but it was her.

44. I hear my mother’s voice

It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye. I really hope he didn’t increase the output, because he could seriously hurt himself.

45. That’ll show ‘em

It’s funny how kids can take a saying and turn it into something literal. As in flushing your life away means flushing your life away.

46. That looks safe

You know what the worst part of this is? When that dumb ass falls and cracks his skull open on the floor below, his parents will try to sue. Because there are no signs on the escalator saying not to ride the handrails.

47. No, not the big red switch!

I just don’t get where the kid went wrong. Dad was very clear it was the switch on the white thing in the games room.

48. I’m sad

A five-year-old was told he couldn’t watch TV. He expressed his resultant emotions using art. The problem? He expressed himself on the couch. I think he’s going to be feeling far worse.

49. This seems wrong

It’s the opposite of, “are we there yet?” That’s what you usually hear, not, “Looks like we’re almost home,” when you are driving farther and farther away from home.

50. The dangers of online shopping

I bet the kid placed this order using Alexa. You can ask Alexa to fart, so maybe they have an addon for it. But really, you can set Alexa up so that your kids can’t place orders, can’t you? At least you can with Google Home.
