Kids are far more clever than we give them credit for. We should know, we used to be kids ourselves! Their imaginations are in overdrive, their wittiness is off the charts, and they have their ‘snappy comebacks’ levels set all the way to 11.
Today we’re featuring the times that kids outsmarted their parents with some hilarious and genuinely impressive power moves, as shared on the r/madlads subreddit.
Scroll down, upvote your fave posts, and let us know in the comments which of these made you giggle the most. And be sure to read on for Bored Panda’s chat about parenting and how kids like to test limits with relationship expert Dan Bacon, a loving father of two.
Oh, and if any of you Pandas reading this are parents, we would absolutely love it if you’d share your own fun experiences raising your kids.

9 Year Olds Being Absolute Madlads
He definitely deserved it. Who does that to kids? Good grief
It is funny because it is mean and they technically did nothing wrong.
There's a picture online that shows a pickup crashing into a giant snowman with a solid core. There seem to be more of those jerks around.
Like that guy who drove into snowman made around tree trunk, poetic justice
Relationship expert and father of two Dan explained to Bored Panda what the right balance should be between strictness and fun when it comes to raising kids. According to him, patience is key. As is the understanding that children love to see what they can get away with doing.
“In order to be good, functioning citizens of a society, children do need to be shown what is good and what is bad. However, you have to remember that a child is a clean slate and is effectively innocent,” he said.

More than 40 years ago in the UK, due to Sunday trading laws you could buy an orange and get a sofa free. This is the truth according to my mum. Who knows if it was true or just a funny story.
Some people in NYC did this with marijuana, illegal to sell, ok to give away. Your weed came with a very expensive t-shirt. Brilliant. The t shirt advertised the business and soon the area was overflowing with happy t-shirt wearing customers.

According to Dan, kids are constantly testing boundaries and checking to see what their parents will and will not allow them to do at home.
“The child will often say and do things that could make you angry if you don’t understand that he/she is simply testing to see what is okay or not, or what the limits are. Without testing, the child will just sit there, be quiet and do nothing, which isn’t going to happen,” Dan explained.

And some people think we have to protect kids from the concept of homosexuality...
I love this, kids aren't born racists or having problems with people other than men and women.
my kids are enamored with the idea that it’s entirely possible i could have a wife next instead of another husband. “two moms in the same house? that’s so cool!” any time someone tells me that they can’t explain things to their kids, i think of mine and how easy it was for them to understand and accept.
Bravo to you. The problem with People who say it is difficult to explain to a child is their own mind. The child will understand as easily as any other thing, it's the adult that has a problem with it.

Sam is very smart and I guess Tyler stomped off to his/her room.
Lol I just read this to my Mom and she got concerned and asked WHY Sam and Tyler were arguing. That's when I remembered there is a grandson named Tyler and a granddaughter named Samantha....😂😂😂😂
its like one of those games where you mimic your sibling to piss them off and then they start saying things like "I'm really stupid" and you stop mimicking them and say "I know you are"! LOL
“The child wants to explore the world around it and see what he/she can and cannot do. The child will also regularly forget what is right or wrong at times, or remember that something is wrong, but do it again anyway to see if you have a different response this time,” the dad of two pointed out what parents should be aware of.
“By doing it again, the child often shows you that it doesn’t need to follow a particular rule because the rule was too strict, or unnecessary, which then results in you changing and allowing the child to do it from then on,” he said.
Mothers Children Are Absolute Madmen. Out Of Control
I would have made sure to make stomping sounds every time to make them think you broke them :)
I'd turn them all off. Or better, mute them all, and then leave them on all night, so they are dead in the morning.
My coworker has an 8 yr old son who confessed that he sneaks into her room with a live camera (go pro?) each night and puts it on her dresser. He then stays up for hours watching Netflix or playing games. If he sees her move on the camera, he goes in and cuddles with her until she goes back to sleep. When he decides to go to bed, he gets the camera and puts it back in the living room.
Are you sure he is 8?? Sounds like something a teenager would come up with 😳 I'm impressed!!

This Little Mad Lad's On A Mission
Adorable! Side note: Our kids get a popsicle for dessert after dinner most nights....they're sugar-free, a detail we keep to ourselves. They get their "sweet treat" and we don't have a sugar rush to deal with in the evening leading up to bedtime; it's a win-win! :-D

"I don't know where it all went wrong... or what the first sign was that something was off with him. I don't think there was ever one moment, really. Maybe it was always his nature. He certainly always had a problem with authority. That was apparent from a very young age. And deceipt just seemed to come naturally to him. He never seemed to understand the concept of right and wrong- I mean, not in any real sense, only in the abstract. And he was very good at manipulating others into doing bad things with him- sometimes FOR him. In a very real way I think his corruption of others was worse than any of the acts he committed himself. But could we have known that things would end up the way they did? I remember once when he was really little, my brother told me this story about popsicles... The signs were all there, but we just didn't see them. None of us did. He was just so cute! He's always been very handsome and charming. I don't think it all could ever have gone so far otherwise..."

Gran only wants you to think that so she can pick up all the gossip that no one thinks she can hear
Load More Replies...That's surprisingly common. It's tough to listen through hearing aids. Sometimes, you just need a break. No time better than when you're getting yelled at.
This is so true. I remember when hearing aids were terrible and I would feel fatigued by the excess noise. I would often flip them off and use them as ear plugs during chaotic times of the day like cafeteria or recess time.
Load More Replies...I do the same. When I was a teacher and the students were too loud etc I would turn them off. Got to have some perks to being deaf
May I ask some questions? Apart from this one, I mean. I am totally ignorant on this topic. Are there stages of deafness? Can some hear a bit and others totally nothing? And those hearing aids... do they help to hear normally or is it somehow different? .... if anyone even knows that.
Load More Replies...I put my over-the-ear headphones on when I don't want to talk to people. Sometimes, I dont even have them connected to anything. Lol.
Load More Replies...Hearing breaks are normal and needed for people using hearing aids. Their brains have to work harder to make sense of all the noise than people with a normal hearing range have to. All the background noises are being amplified into their brain at the same level as the speech they are trying to understand.
Thought that too. (Mainly because of Fawlty Towers)
Load More Replies...I used to have a flat mate who did that to me when I was wasted, can't say I blame him.
I've heard of many people (especially those with cochlear implants) who turn them off when they e had enough noise!
I worked at a school with a,Deaf Ed group. Part of the tgey were in "regular" classrooms with an interpretation, part in a group taught together. Very smart kids, all of them. One would cover his eyes if he didn't want to hear what they were signing to him. It made me learn sign language just because I thought it was important to call each child by name as they went through breakfast and lunch lines (or were sent to spend time with me on Time Out room).
“So, you need to be patient as the child grows up and figures out how to behave and approach life in a way that suits you and himself/herself. One way to think about expecting a child to change or follow your orders is to remember how long it can take you to change a certain behavior as an adult,” Dan mused.
“Sometimes it can take weeks or months for you to stop a habit, change a behavior or take on a new behavior that people are asking of you, so you shouldn’t expect a child to change everything overnight and be completely obedient to every new rule you come up with," he said.
You Cant Speak Chinese Here
Demanding someone speak to another person in your native language is pretty much telling them you feel you are entitled to eavesdrop on their conversation.

I'm Karen. Not antivax. Both of my children have had their child vaccinations. They both wanted their Covid ones and I drove them to get them.

Load More Replies...Apart from everything else - which, yes, I know is a lot - the sheer arrogance of anti-vaxxery is staggering. Thinking you're SO SMART you know better than thousands of scientists and medical experts. Insisting on your enormous brain rather than letting the experts be experts. I note these people rarely turn their amazing intelligence to other things - most still call plumbers and roofers; let dentists extract their teeth, get mechanics to work on their cars - but I encourage them to go ALL IN. You can become an expert in anything with your own research? DO IT. NEVER GO TO AN EXPERT AGAIN. I DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU.
Why are people who don't trust science believed to be idiots? The same can be said for those who are willing to believe everything science tells them, even when they change the rules every other week. I'm a skeptic, if 50% of the population is getting vaccinated and the numbers of infected people on both sides still rose together, then how is one group wrong over the other? It's literally been 2 years and nothing has changed, regardless of your vaccination status, you're not safe from a new virus.
We could explain it to you but we can't understand it for you!
Load More Replies..."You have to love patiently, otherwise being a parent will make you feel stressed all the way through the child’s life," Dan said.
Some of us honestly think we peaked in terms of humor and wit and creativity when we were kids (and it was all downhill from there!). So it’s no wonder that we’ve been trying to recapture some of that magic. One of the ways to do it is to remind yourself what it actually means to be a child: speaking boldly and without a filter, setting our imaginations loose, and finding interesting ways of looking at the world.
What A Legend
I met a creepy nyc lawyer. He wanted to buy the bra I was wearing for 50 dollars. I said no. He gave me 100 Dollars becaus he admired that i wouldnt sell him my brad. One of the weirdest moments in my life. (I was with a friend during the day at an bowlingalley.)
This is the most Joe Pesci thing to do. Like I legit could see this happening in my head. I have an uncle who talks and acts just like him except a super thick Chicago accent and I was terrified of him growing up because I was convinced he was a burglar. So he'd also try to bribe me with money to not hate him. It worked. He's my favorite uncle. But that's also because he's a really good cook n a really good pastry chef n used to let us kids eat so many sweets at his house on holidays. He's the definition of the "cool, childless aunt/uncle" .... idk why I just told this story.
AWW. Sweet. In 1982 when I was 7 a neighbour came out to where I was playing with some friends and showed us a bag of coins he had. He asked us what would you rather have 2 shiny 2 pence pieces or a dirty 10 pence coin? I was surprised that I was the only one who wanted the % pence coin. When the neighbour went away they all laughed at me because I had the dirty coin and not the shiny ones. I said "at least I have more money than you, I have 10 pence and you only have 4 pence. I can buy more sweets than you," (which is what we were going to do with the money anyway). The look on their faces was priceless. I would have liked the novelty of the shiny coins but you should always go for what's more profitable.😊
Fun fact, Joe Pesci grew up in her same neighborhood as the founding members of The Four Seasons and was friends with Tommy especially. There’s a Joey mentioned a few times in Jersey Boys (the musical about The Four Seasons) who we only find out towards the end is Joe Pesci. Joe Pesci isn’t in the mafia but he was friends with a band that was basically financially supported by the mob early on, so... don’t mess with him.

I would be startled, laugh, then proceed to hit him hard with my scratch paper. Twice.
My dad had a friend who had a glass eye. The 2 of them were in the pub once when another man asked them if they would keep an eye on his pint while he went to the toilet. So Charlie (dad's friend) took out his eye and put it in his drink.

Recently, Bored Panda went in-depth about how clever kids can be. Comedy writer and single mom Ariane Sherine said kids take after their parents in terms of wit, sense of humor, and creativity.
“Both I and my daughter’s dad work in the media, and from an early age, she’s wanted to be a pop star, writer, and actor. I don’t know how much of her creativity was influenced by seeing her dad’s writing in the newspaper and seeing me go out late to perform at musical comedy gigs. She definitely has creative talents, but how much of that is nature or nurture I don’t know. As for sense of humor, she’s far more sassy and sarcastic than me, so I think her sharp wit is all her own!” she told Bored Panda.

We did something similar in 1978. But we had to take an ad in the newspaper. Was kind of expensive for kids but we pooled our resources. Ad was written as if the school was a large private compound. Swimming pools, home gym, sports fields, tennis court, professional kitchen, home office, art studio, extensive grounds. Used the school office phone number. What's nice about a newspaper ad back then is that it can't be removed in a click and usually takes a day or two to get it out. We had paid for 3 days Fri-Sun. No weekend changes!!
I'm impressed cause it was a lot more difficult back then

It included full description of rooms and amenities. Every thought it was hilarious. They also hid the teachers coffee mugs and that prank got them in big trouble.
Howie Mandel hired a construction company, bulldozers and all. They showed up at the school. He did get into trouble, but what a great start!

So on iPad it auto detects now, but I assume this was before that beca.e a "feature"?
“My daughter loves starring in my social media posts. She actually asks me to tweet about her! When she does something cool or impressive like skateboarding or graffiti writing, she asks, ‘Can you put it on Twitter?!’ Then she loves to read the comments. I guess some kids are more shy and retiring, but I like the fact that mine is confident and happy to show the world her talents,” she said.

A kid wants to drink water or go to the toilet. School: "Not on my watch!"
Or trying to get the teacher's attention that you need to head to the bathroom RIGHT NOW. They look right at you. They can see you're in distress. They don't say anything. Fine. Don't let me leave. I'll just sit here and barf all over my desk. Kids thought it was cool. Gotcha teach!
Load More Replies...So true. My daughter was suspended in 2nd grade. A bully had literally cornered her in the back of the classroom and was threatening to hurt her. She tried getting away but the jerk kept blocking her & getting closer so eventually she closed her eyes, shoved him and ran. She inadvertently scratched his cheek, a tiny scratch that oozed but didn't bleed. He wasnt in trouble but she hot suspended bcuz theres a "zero tolerance policy for violence". She also had to write the bully an apology letter. I had her copy what I wrote down first, which basically said 'I'm sorry you have so little self esteem that you felt the need to corner me and repeatedly threaten me. Im sorry your face got scratched while you were aggressively invading my personal space. In the future instead of protecting myself I'll just scream at the top of my lungs." They didnt give the note to her 'victim' as they had intended. You mess w/ my kid, you mess with me. And im a mama bear

I'm pretty sure he was heading to his job directly after school. No need to go home first, if you have everything you need with you
Load More Replies...This just reminds me of how I used to change into my work uniform before last period so in the yearbook all of the photos from the Math page have me in scrubs. I almost got in trouble by the yearbook teacher for 'trolling' and they wanted to remove all of my photos. No, dude, I just had 20 minutes to get to work after school and the bathrooms were always packed.
I am so saddened by the fact that there are security guards in schools.
It's so weird that school kids having jobs after school is so normal in the US. In my country kids might have a summer job but until a certain age they can't have one for longer than a month (to make sure they get to enjoy the summer hols as well) and no one under 18 has a job during the school year. I had my first job at 21.
Ariane told Bored Panda that she is a very liberal mom because she had very strict parents herself.
“I think being liberal encourages creativity as it gives kids the confidence to express themselves fully, and my daughter is usually very sweet-natured and well-behaved. She’s also a lot of fun, while I didn’t dare to be fun in such a strict environment when I was a kid, so I’m really pleased that I’m giving her a happier and freer upbringing.”

Ever since I started saying it (in public sometimes, to make a point) They stopped saying "I'm a baddy"( Please don't tell me what it is...Ignorance is bliss) P.S: I also tell them when they misbehave I will blast Justin Bieber at carline and do "Hand Hearts" at them <3
Well, my kids are using the reversed psychology back on me. So they actually choose a shirt or pants that really doesn't suit them on purpose, I tell them it look "good" on them, and they actually go and buy it. Eventually they never wear it...
Can confirm, I do the same thing to my teens and they hate it and I meh them against their oof , 2 can play at this game and my wife is in on it too 😂

Vax Lads
I'm considered a minor and my mom wont let me get the vax because she is afraid it will affect my ability to give birth. I want to adopt not give birth because why make more children if there is children who need parents. ALSO WHY DOES IT MATTER TO HER?
there are literally millions of women who have gotten pregnant after being vaccinated. how can she ignore this fact?
Load More Replies...Grandpa: I snuck into a tattoo parlor when I was a teenager. Youth of today: I snuck into a vaccination clinic last week.
When my daughter was 17, she could get the vax by herself, but she needed my written permission to get a Covid 19 test.
That doesn't make any sense. Do you have home-testing kits? In the UK we do home tests, ordered on-line, and no-one knows how old you are. (But that's from the National Health Service.)
Load More Replies...Meanwhile in the US, a teacher helps a senior in her class get the vaccine against parents wishes and get arrested. Home of the free...to be stupid.
I think that had something to do with the teacher administering the vaccine? Practicing medicine without a license is probably what they got arrested for. Glad the kid is vaccinated now. Hopefully the senior will be of age to do it on their own regardless of their parents' beliefs soon.
Load More Replies...she looks like she wants to speak to the vaccination site's manager.

In high school, there was a girl who was fascinated with roaches. In a school full of kids, there were plenty to go around, so she had lots of specimens, and she would not hesitate to pick them up and play with them. We thought she was weird and a bit creepy, but, later in life, I realized she probably had an amazing future in entomology ahead of her. I hope she put her interest and knowledge to good use. 🤞🏾

I´m all for being sensitve, but this is really out of proportion (and I suspect it has to do more with pietism than with actual sensitivity).

Once A Madlad Was 7 Years Old
My dad got his WWII draft notice on April 1st. Mom and Dad got married before he went in, but didn't tell anybody. Had their "real" wedding when the war was over. Mom never told me until Dad was long gone and she was in her nineties. By that time, she couldn't even remember when they actually got married.

Found The Badass
Because, despite its questionable "humor", it just isn't possible. Occasionally a very young child can be so distraught for some reason, like anger, fear, pain etc., that they can stop breathing for a short spell and even "pass out" for a few moments. It is a reflex and not deliberate. Any child old enough to threaten such an action simply cannot hold their breath to unconsciousness, because our autonomous response will not allow it. You can think whatever you like about my sense of humour, but personally I'm tired of people telling lies about their children for social media kudos. Anyone who would actually leave an unconscious child on the floor in order to update their social media, is a fücking psychopath.
Load More Replies...He might be faking! Quick, cover his mouth and pinch his nose, don't stop for any reason!
What a stupid lie. Hold your breath until you pass out - I'll wait.......... it's not possible.

One time, when I was about 12, I didn't have time to go to the restroom between classes, so I asked to be excused during a lull in the next class. The teacher refused. I said I absolutely had to go for "personal female reasons". He said something like, "That's not a valid reason. You can wait." I told him I would gladly show him my blood soaked pad so he could see that it was a valid reason. Everyone in the class started screaming, "Eww! Gross!" I got sent to the principle's office for being lewd.
I did actually piss myself back in kindergarten for a very similar reason. The teacher wasn't letting us use the bathroom, so...

Whose Child Is This??
I worked in a daycare for a while. Those kids were a trip. One day we had an incident with the n-word. One of the kids had heard it somewhere, and the parents explained to the child that the n-word was a bad word, and he should never say it. So, of course, he had to come in the next day and tell all the other kids about the bad word. Only, he didn't say the actual word; he said it like, "In words". We weren't sure what he meant at first, until he explained that "It's a bad name you call people who have a tan". By the end of the day, all the kids were saying "In words", like it was some extraordinary insult (except one girl, who cried because she didn't have a tan). We had to send notes home with everyone that day.
Yeah, it seems like some of the censoring has gotten seriously inconsistent lately. What's even funnier is that they're blocking words like "Reddit".

Of course that children are smart, that is the part of their survival instinct, so let's teach them compassion and kindness and that starts with animals - children tend to be drown to animals for reason. This only way to save our planet and their future. - "As long as man continues to be the ruthless destroyer of lower living beings, he will NEVER know HEALTH or PEACE.

When my son was in elementary school, you used to be able to play games with random people on Yahoo messenger (idk if that's still a thing because who uses it anymore?). He was matched up with a (apparently) older woman in Scrabble who asked at one point how old he was. "I'm 9, how old are you?" To which she replied "I'm older than dirt!" Later in the game she said, "You're pretty good for 9!" My son typed back "Thanks! You're pretty good for dirt."
I was a young teen when my future uncle babysat us for the first and last time. He woke up on the couch to find a mostly empty can of beer he left on the coffee table the night before.
