Kids Who Turned Being Weird Into A Literal Artform

We like to credit kids for seeing things adults wouldn’t ordinarily notice. It might have to do with growing up. We forget that the simplest things give us the most pleasure — time spent with family, a made-up story of St. Nick acting as a gift courier for every child in the world, and getting away with breaking the rules.

What would you say if you lived a day in the life of a kid once more? That sounds like a good plan, right? Give your parents a mini-heart attack with the games you play. Sleep whenever, wherever you feel like it. Feast on sweets without worrying about the calories. These are just a few perks kids enjoy, which may come off as senseless to adults.

Here is a sampling of the wacky things kids do that adults can’t make head or tails of.

Wild Ride

Every kid has dreamt of flying like the Man of Steel. But they grow up realizing that that superpower doesn’t exist. Until then, they make do with this, slowly making their way off the ground and with greater risk for falls.

Don’t tell us you have never tried to create your own jetpack or spread your arms out wide before attempting to take flight. Everyone went through this phase, and it didn’t make sense to the adults either. You didn’t hear complaints from them, now did you?

Eating It Like Pizza

Kids can get away with a lot of things. They can pout, scream, bite, or worse, act nice to you if things don’t go their way. But for the most part, they love to live their lives near the edge.

So, if they don’t feel like getting their daily dose of nutrients, they will do away with it. They will eye you up and down as they munch through the juicy insides and leave the peel behind. It’s not their loss, right?

Found Himself A New Dad

One of the worst things that could happen to a parent is to lose their kid, and dad’s are extra worried when it’s on their watch. This Dad nearly got himself a heart attack when he turned around to see his kid was gone.

It had taken him two hours to rush past each aisle, then check them back again. Just when he was about to call his wife, he saw a furtive movement from the corner of his eye. There his kid stood right in plain sight!

What He Wants for Halloween

Halloween is one of the most anticipated times of the year, and it isn’t only because of the treats. Adults and children get to live an alternate life for the whole day. This kid could have been anything he wanted, but he chose this…

A traffic sign. For the love of us, we can’t understand why he would choose it. Maybe he loves how the light changes, or maybe he just likes to tell people when to stop and when to move. Maybe he just likes watching people be late and break down in traffic.

Her Little Experiment

It was Thursday; the cleaning day in their house. This mom woke up to start the chore early and had taken the whole morning to clean her kids’ rooms. She was nearly done when she saw this oddity on her kid’s bed. She didn’t know whether to throw this away or keep it.

It was pretty disturbing, but her eyes stayed glued to the Barbie minotaur. This kid has got some serious issues and she doesn’t know where ideas like this came from — mom or dad! If you ask us, maybe a little bit from both.

The Channel

Horror movies often feature kids acting as a channel between our world and the unknown. They can see spirits and play with them. We don’t know just how much of it is true, but might this be one of those lucky ones?

Twitter user XplodingUnicorn kept still. He was sure the odds were low, but maybe, just maybe, someone would speak back. His kid whispered into the chute and giggled at a joke. She turned to address her dad with innocent, wide eyes and said, “say hi to Kelly, Dad!“

Addams V. 1.0

Who can forget the Addams kids? Wednesday with her cold, killer stare is reborn in this 7-year-old child. Her mom stumbled upon her kids playing a new game they invented called “bury me alive.” She said it was all part of an experiment.

These kids even thought to use a color-coding scheme for the coffin. This little girl would have covered every inch of her brother had her mom let her. “This funeral is a bit too early, don’t you think?” The kid turns around and says, “the hearse is out back.“

A Scene Out of Black Mirror

If you hadn’t seen the TV series Black Mirror, you must have been living under a rock for the past few years. But not to worry, this dad hadn’t seen one episode, either. Still, he nearly jumped out of his pants after seeing this freak in the backyard.

He saw the gangly legs and then cocked his head. Was that his son? He calls out his son’s name and the monster replies. He sighs with relief and then leaves this monster to get his fill of terrorizing people in the house.

Must Find Space

We don’t know what it is about kids and their love of tight nooks and spaces. Might it be that some just want to play a game of hide-and-seek? This Redditor has a different theory. Her little kid just might be feeling cold.

Instead of rushing to the dress rack to pick a jacket, this kid crawled up the hem of her mother’s dress and then stuck her face to the fabric. “Momma, can you see me?” She wanted to make sure her mom wouldn’t walk out on her while she was hiding.

Helps with the Spittles

This mom has been having a hard time teaching her kid to chew with his mouth shut. “It’s rude to chew with your mouth open,” she brings a hand to his chin and then gently has him close his mouth. But after failing several times…

…she thought the best course of action would be for him to use this for now. She doesn’t have to wipe off drool hanging by the side of his mouth, or spittle flying out of nowhere. Plus, those garter bands help keep this boy’s mouth shut when eating.

Too High

Mrs. Gotke made waves on Twitter after sharing this picture of her son. The Twitterverse exploded with laughter. What is up with children and their dislike for comfort and ease? This kid didn’t mind the 10-minute-long plank so long as he was watching his cartoons.

Well Mrs. Grotke, if we were to be brutally frank, this high seat wasn’t made for a toddler to climb. That’s why he prefers to support himself with his hands and lay his tablet on the floor, where he’s sure it won’t fall. Who’s the smart one now?

Her Heart’s Content

It doesn’t take much to make a kid happy. All you have to do is spend some time with them and listen. Like, really listen. They’re open about their wants and needs. Take this kid, for example, who had a love for drawing…

Reddit user told us that her daughter always steals printer paper to draw on. So apart from all the cool toys and iPhone she had bought this kid, she made sure to give her a pack of 500 pages of printer paper. Guess what she loved the most.

Gotta Keep Your Eye on Them

This young mom never lets her kid out of her sight. She once did, and he had almost gotten into serious hurt. Now, this mom would have nearly put her kid on a leash if only it wouldn’t be counted as child abuse.

She turns her back for 30 seconds, and then she hears a dull thud behind her. She whips her head around frantically and then sees her kid wearing an orange traffic cone as a dunce hat. She sharply inhales, forcing herself to breathe to ten, and then bends down to help.

Where Are You?

Eerie things mostly happen at night. Supernatural creatures love opening cupboards and walking around the house because they think everyone is asleep. This mom awoke from slumber upon hearing odd noises and followed the sounds to her son’s bedroom. There she saw this ghost.

She let out a loud gasp, just in time as she heard a soft plop from the bowl. She turned on the light to see if it was her son. Her son sleepily grunts. “Turn off the light, Mom! “She exits the room just in time to hear water swoosh from the bidet.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spidermen

Who is your favorite superhero? Take your time. There’s a long list to choose from, and make note, you can’t change your answer once you pick one. This kid has a love for making cobwebs and shooting silken thread from his wrists. He wants to be…

…your friendly, neighborhood Spider-Man. After this quick nap, he hopes to awaken as the next Peter Parker and keep the world safe with each passing night. He wants to take down Vulture and the Lizard, and band together with Iron Man.

Pleased To Meet You

Ever since this woman became a parent, she has grown fearful; paranoid, even. She is afraid that her kids might get hurt or that she won’t be there when they need her. Sometimes, she just encounters things like this that make her heart beat out of her chest.

She did a double take. “Is that someone’s hand?” She approaches the door and wonders whose hand is this. She takes a step back and looks around to see if there’s any blood. When she calms down, she realizes it’s just a doorknob wearing a glove.

New Mommy and Daddy

This mom loves her daughter dearly but doesn’t want her to grow up spoiled. So yeah, she can come off a bit authoritarian, telling her kid what to do and what not to do. Sometimes, her kid wants to sign herself up for adoption.

“I want a new mommy and daddy.” And just like that, this young girl got herself new parents. She held her new mom and dad’s hands tightly just to keep her old mom from dragging her away from the mannequin. “Noooo, leave me here!“

After Several Failed Attempts to Build A Train

At an early age, this kid was drawn to gears and machines. He couldn’t take his eyes off them. So when his parents got him a Lego set, he quickly got to constructing a transit system around his bed. But after several failed attempts…

…he decided he would like to change his career course. “Maybe this just isn’t for me.” Maybe he’s better off cooking or sleeping. Sleeping is a skill he is very good at. Sixty seconds tops and he’s deep in slumber, eyes rapidly moving.

Goth is Not Dead

This kid has a love for everything goth. Many find him weird because of his interests, but his mom is certain he will grow out of it. She brings him to this Lego exhibition, where she hopes that he will meet friends who can show him other interests.

Oh she was very patient, bringing his son all the Lego parts that he needed. She was supportive of his creative artistry. But it was too late when she realized what it was he was building. He had finished the headstone while she mumbled a prayer. “Lord, help me.”

First Trip Abroad

It was his first trip abroad, and he wanted to make sure that he had everything packed for the trip. He made a list and showed it to his mother. And after a shopping spree, he laid all the items on the floor.

This mom cocked her head and watched her kid deep in thought. He was checking things off his list. According to her five-year-old son, these are absolute necessities for the trip. But that’s way too many post-its. Are those to leave a trail behind?

Helps with Flexibility

A lot of health professionals say that using gadgets for long periods at a time is bad. You’re actually ten times more predisposed to heart failure if you have a sedentary lifestyle. But this kid proves them wrong, with gadget yoga.

He immerses himself in gameplay while holding an abnormal position. He says it helps with flexibility, and we agree. If you can support your weight on your back and neck, then maybe using gadgets for long periods at a time isn’t so bad after all!

“Oh, I’m Fine”

This kid is too proud to have a babysitter around. He says he is of age and doesn’t need someone else to take care of him. Well so far, he hasn’t set the house on fire but his parents did come home to see him on the bed like this.

They didn’t know whether to laugh or to rouse him from sleep. But being the good sports that they are, decided to go for option C — take a picture of him so they can humiliate him 20 years from now. Seems like the wisest choice!

Had Nothing To Do With It

This soccer mom was excited to buy her son any costume of his choice. “What do you want, honey? We’ll get it for you.” But after hearing what he wanted she couldn’t help but ask again. Before she let others in on his request, she had to include an important disclaimer.

“I had nothing to do with this folks. This was done entirely of his own accord!” She had no choice but to cut holes by the side of these oversized pants. It fit him to a tee, but if you asked her, she would have worn a belt around it.

Likes Her Eggs in One Basket

This kid doesn’t make many friends with kids in the playground. We have been told it’s because she doesn’t know how to share. So they keep their toys away from her. Can you tell by one look at this picture?

She raises that pool ball to the light, looks at it for what seems to be an eternity, then actually considers dropping it down. At the last minute, she hastily brings it to her chest and then puts it inside her shirt. This kid likes all her eggs in one basket.

How To Survive

This mom wanted to teach her kids basic survival skills in the wild. Of course, it would help if they didn’t brave the forest at all, but they were quite the daredevils. When this mom took her daughter for a hike, her daughter packed this gear item.

It might help her stay undercover from nearby beasts. Better safe than sorry, right? No one can be too sure when they’re in the forest. You might encounter a wild bear, or a fashion designer talking some sense into this young woman about this faux pas.

Spirit Animal

This aunt decided to take her niece out for a treat. She only had a week to spend with the family before she went home after her vacation. First stop, food! She was taken aback at the number of food items her niece bought, but she didn’t utter a word of complaint.

Her niece hungrily tore into the bags and then shoved the fries into her mouth. A couple of minutes after, this young aunt looked back to check how her niece was doing and saw that she had dozed off mid-snack. What about dessert?

Nicer Where He Is

This dad wanted the very best for his son. So when he was able to save up for a backyard pool, he excitedly bought one and then set it up out back. After showing his son the pool, he thought the kid would want to jump in. Instead, the kid asked his dad for help with this…

Guess old habits die hard. We wouldn’t be surprised by his son’s choice. After all, you have got to share the pool with others, but in this mini-jacuzzi, he can flail around and know that he won’t drown. How about you? What would you choose?

Tastes Like…Paper

Mcdonald’s is nearly a family staple. Need some food on the go? It’s one stop away. Need to keep your kid from acting out in public? A happy meal is just around the corner. This dad knows his son’s ultimate weakness is a pack of hash browns.

Of course, kids quickly lose their appetite as soon as they start eating. But this dad couldn’t help but wonder if he had been given the right son. What kind of creature would defile a perfectly fried hash brown by doing this?

Bloody Mary

It is never too early to tell if your kid needs help. This mom knew that her child would be a handful after seeing this in her kid’s room. She held the kit to the light and shook her head.

Every single Lego person had been mutilated and their heads were put on spikes like this. Oh, the horror! Just how many Lego people would fall under the diabolical hands of her daughter? Her heart skipped a beat at the thought.

“Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep”

“It’s bedtime!” This mom heard a pair of slippers shuffle across the room. Later she heard her child whispering a prayer. She thanked God for the food then she asked that she be given some toys, and a guardian angel to keep her safe at night.

No wonder her kid slept so soundly at night. Anyone or anything that would come across this terrifying nightlamp would be pissing their PJs! Teddy Ruxpin is a different kind of guardian angel. And as you can see, he takes his job seriously.

Sweets Go Best With…

Whereas other parents have trouble getting their kids to eat their green, leafy vegetables, this mom doesn’t. She’s relieved her daughter preps herself a bowl of spinach. Yes, you read that right. But she adds a couple of other things, too.

Every morning her kid preps this. She doesn’t have the words but we do. That kid is something! If our parents had prepared us a delicious bowl like this, we would probably munch down our veggies in a heartbeat. Forget the milk!

He’s Just Showing Off

Kids don’t have to look up to superheroes. They have powers of their own. They can stay up all night keeping everyone awake, but stay asleep while mom vacuums the entire house. Oh, and they can fall asleep in 60 seconds or less!

Now this kid is just showing off. “Hey, hey! You don’t have to tell us how to live our lives!” But this kid isn’t woken from his sleep. He continues that cute snore, dreaming of candy canes and reindeer hooves landing on the roof.

For Safekeeping

Reddit user PhnxDarkDirk believes that the best way to parent is to allow your kid to explore. Keep a watchful eye on him, but so long as he isn’t in danger, let him do his thing…even if you don’t necessarily agree with or understand it.

He ran a hand through his hair and looked at his kid. The little guy said this piece of brick “needed safekeeping so I had to put it in a Ziplock bag.” The kid heads over to the play room and goes about his business as if this wasn’t the weirdest thing ever.

Now, That’s Virtual Reality

This is the future of virtual reality folks. You have got comfortable seats that can cushion a blow or an untimely fall. You have got an ultra HD screen displaying your virtual reality. And every sense is heightened, including smell.

This kid can smell the muddy waters of the land of Duloc. There, Shrek and his family live contentedly, harvesting fire from the breath of a dragon, and insects from nearby logs. This kid can taste, hear and smell it all.

“How May I Take Your Orders”

This Redditor and her husband are one of many parents who struggle to get their kids to eat…something, anything! They have tried the airplane, lacing his food with sweets but nothing works like drawing creepy renditions of Paul Stanley on food items.

They don’t know what it is about Paul Stanley that just increases this kid’s appetite. All they know is that he can gobble up that toast faster than a heartbeat. He asks for a second serving and their drawing skills are put to the test once again!

Spawn of the Devil

We’re warning you. This is by far the ultimate proof that this kid is a spawn of the devil. We have never come across anything like this. It’s mindblowing and repulsive, but we can’t bring ourselves to look away. Scroll down at your own risk!

Is that spine-chilling or what? We bite our nails from time to time, too, but one wrong move and you can harm the nail bed and yelp out in pain. That has never happened to this kid, and he even managed to sculpt something out of it!

Peeling the Calories Off

These parents don’t know where this kid got this idea. But ever since they had let him in the kitchen, he would peel the crust off his bread. Sounds weird right? But it looks oddly satisfying! All that soft, chewy goodness to enjoy.

Do you think he would still do the same if he had to make toast with them? Definitely. This kid holds no exception. He has to peel the crust off his bread or else it’s all going to the can. No buts!

Visiting Grandma

Every other week, this little boy comes to visit his grandma. He helps with the chores in the house, and come afternoon, he spends a couple of minutes watching his favorite shows in the backyard. After a busy morning, he deserves the break.

You might think it’s funny, but believe us, this is the best seat in the house. You can hear the chirping of the birds and you have got natural sunlight all around. You have got cushions just where you need them — right behind your neck and just beneath your knees.

Thought You Were Never Coming Out

If only there was an Olympic sport for hide-and-seek; this kid would win gold at it. He takes this game very seriously and spends hours at a time playing it, hiding in this drawer where he thinks mom won’t find him.

He comes out just after she yells “it’s dinner time.” This kid looks disheveled, after hours of sleep. That’s why boredom never strikes him. He has got the company of the Sandman and lots of imaginary friends. Would you ever crawl into something as cramped as this?

Master Chef

Ever since she could cut vegetables with a real knife, this kid has been manning the kitchen. She has experimented with nearly anything she could get her hands on. She usually makes cheese-only tacos but tonight, she had made something special.

What is that roll of orange? You may not have guessed it because carrots don’t really go on tacos. But this kid had a craving for carbs and veggies and she prepped this special dish. Not to worry, she offered it to everyone but there weren’t any takers.

Loves those Cars

This kid loves her toys so much she bathes them, feeds them, and from time to time, puts oil on their spare parts. You read that right. This girl has a love for fast cars and would do anything to keep them happy.

She even reads them a bedtime story and sings them to sleep. Her dad, Redditor ju2tin, doesn’t know whether to laugh at her kid or applaud her. He’s definitely proud that she has a love for speed and race cars, but this level of maintenance is something else.

Helps with the Bloodflow

This is one of life’s greatest mysteries. Why do kids lie on their stomachs, suspended over the edge of the couch? Can’t they sit upright, or lie on the bed like normal people do? You won’t be getting an answer out of this lad. He’s busy at the moment.

But if you were to ask us, it might have something to do with the blood flow. When you’re watching something as important as anime, you would want to stay awake until you finish all episodes. This should help keep him from slacking.

Educational Support

We know exactly how this kid feels. He feels a churning in the pits of his stomach, as he takes one step closer to those play magnets on the table. He doesn’t want to deal with mental math, but mom promised him a cookie if he recited the numbers and the colors.

He stepped on the rung and then flung himself over the coffee table. “Okay, here we go.” He picks up the first magnet, examines it, and then looks up at his mom to tell her the correct answer. On to the next!

The Lost Scripture

Redditor crocetti0330 hadn’t known it at the time, but it felt like he was bewitched by something. And whatever it was, was causing him to write a message. He handed it over to St. Nicholas and hasn’t heard from him back.

It almost looks like a foreboding scripture summoning the dead, drawn in the blood of a human sacrifice, but all it was, was a Christmas card written by Reddit user crocetti0330. He couldn’t help but giggle. Just what in the world was he thinking?

Last Seen Here

Reporters arrived on the scene. There were a number of men collecting evidence. A report has just been filed. It looks like a missing person. There was an outline on the floor, where the victim last lay, indicating her whereabouts.

This mom had bought this trampoline. She wanted to give her kids something to play with, but instead of screaming their heads off with delight and jumping the whole afternoon on this trampoline, they decided to turn it into a crime scene.
