Kids are full of paradoxes. They’re innocent and carefree, yet somehow, they seem to know a thing or two about life. There’s always something on the tip of that expert tongue. When the right moment comes—it strikes. Beware, parents, your days are numbered and you’re about to stand trial. Meet the judge—your heavenly child.

Let’s see how it turned out for these parents who shared the not-so-welcome opinions of their beloved bambinos in this Twitter thread.

After you’re done with this roasting session, pick up those parenting karma points from the floor and give yourself a confidence boost right here. To all the fellow parent pandas out there: like Dr. Phil says, this is a safe space to talk about hard things—share your experiences in the comments, so we can toast them!

That reminds me of the time my nephew was around 5 and saw a young picture of my mom and goes "oh wow! Look grandma took a shower!"...he could not articulate how to say she looked young..LOL

When my son was four, we were driving through downtown Seattle. There was an elderly black gentleman standing on the corner in a gorgeous 3 piece black pinstriped suit, white shirt, red tie with red rose in the lapel, gold tie clip, white fedora with a black band on it and red highlights. Even his shoes were black and white wing tipped and he held a cane that was black with a gold handle. I told my son, "Look at that man..he is one sharp dressed fella. I think that's awesome!" My son said "What's awesome?" I said "A Sharp Dressed Man." As we walked in the door minutes later, my son turns to my husband and says "I know what mom loves. A sharp dressed man." And there's my husband standing there in a T-shirt and shorts...laughing.

No kids here...just fur-babies. Husband always always wear jeans/shorts. We had a wedding to go to so he wore a suit. My fur-babies would not stop barking at him and wouldn't come to him until he changed back into his shorts and t-shirt. So dogs are just like kids I guess

Bored Panda contacted Sean Duffy, an associate professor of psychology at Rutgers University, to find out why our little devils tend to point out very odd things. “We are all interested in some profound questions as to what it means to be—be being an important verb. But kids do ask the strangest questions: the universe, why does it exist? Will the sun die in my life time? Will our efforts to curb climate change really make a difference?” In fact, “children today are a lot more aware of the challenges of the future than previous generations”, says Sean Duffy. “Just imagine our fathers or grandfathers in the 1950s even considering climate change. They had their own challenges—communism, the Soviet Union—but they live in a different context than their grandparents in the 1960s.”

This is very unclever. Children perceive things differently. They see beaty where we are quick to judge "ugly". You should, thus, even more believe her words.

Let your child discover their own challenges of existence. “Every parent must understand that they created in their children a new world. They had their own universe of morally ambiguous situations, whether it be the fall of the Berlin Wall or 9/11... every generation has to realize its own uncomfortable place in the order of things.”

It’s okay not to have the answers to all the things your child asks, because “there are no simple or easy answers to any of the myriad complex of unanswerable questions.” The professor explains that “we live in a universe of moral ambiguity and that our culture and society has provided only weak answers to existential questions.”

I still find this confusing, i make a mental note of hair style and colour. If it changes then i don't recognize them.

My mom as 38 When my twin sister and I was born. We were asked that a lot when we went to school. I actually got very upset then.

This one reminds me of my brother. I wasn't born yet, so it's a family story I know, not something I remember myself. Our mom always had elegant straight long hair, then she had to cut it for health and practical reasons. My brother, who was still a baby/ toddler couldn't recognize her for a good while.

I once had my daughter ask me very loudly why my boobs were so long when trying on bras. Much sniggering ensued from the next cubical.

Sounds like when my mom would get on us to clean the house. We'd always ask, "Who's coming over?"

This has more to do with the fact that kids like consistency than her actual appearance. They'd like her either way as long as she always appeared the same way. I changed my hair and my nephew screamed "no!" when he first saw me.

This is why gender stereotypes are bad, people. This is also why insisting boys are actually girls in boys bodies because they like pink and have long hair and wear dresses is bad, people.

This reminds me of a time when my kids were quite young. I babysat to make extra money for the household. The lady I babysat for looked about 16. One day my son asked me why some moms look like teenagers. Fishing for a compliment, I asked him I looked like a teenager. He said "No, you look like a really mom". I didn't know if I should feel complimented or insulted! LOL

What I read was 'My son once looked at a picture of me with makeup...' and I went like 'Why was your son with makeup?' LOL

Junior in high school, I am a girl. I have short hair. I was wearing a dress. A sophomore I didn't know changed pronouns every time he referred to me. "She's wearing a dress... do you think he's enjoying the story? I wouldn't involve them." And the like.

I can understand they left their son with the babysitter but why did she have to emphasize that he was crying as if this was somehow funny?
