30 Stories Of Kids Doing Something So Unhinged, It Freaked Out Everyone Around Them
Some kids seem to think they’re the main character of a movie when they embark on all sorts of adventures. They might feel they’re in charge or believe themselves to be untouchable. They can also make the executive decision to treat everything around them like a prop; even if it’s a live seagull, for instance.
This exact scenario (yup, a kid successfully caught a seagull after using gummy worms as bait) and other comedy movie-like situations appeared on a recent Twitter thread, started by the user DianaG2772. She told the online community members about her call with the school regarding her daughter’s bird hunting abilities, and they made sure to share their own stories with her. Scroll down to find their humorous accounts below and make sure to have some popcorn ready.
In order to better understand what affects kids’ behavior, Bored Panda discussed this topic with a professor in the department of educational and counseling psychology at McGill University, Dr. Victoria Talwar. Scroll down for our full interview with her.

It's normal 2nd grade behavior.. this is how children's creativity is squashed by our school system. Let them be if they aren't doing anything harmful to themselves or others. Try asking the kid what he was talking to the seagull about, you'll have a fun conversation and develop a good connection with a child.

My son was an escape artist from the time he was 6 months old and soon translated that art into the ability to get into ANYTHING!! At 18 months I found him sitting in front of the fish tank. There was a fish missing. I'm 99% sure he ate it. Not surprisingly 18 years later he was quite the star in his college frat house....

A friend's brother used to catch the goldfish in the tank, dry them with a towel and try to take them for walks. Needless to say the fish didn't appreciate it.

My kids caught snakes. Doubt many here want to read about those, though.

I had a 4th grade student who misbehaved on the regular. I had daycare duty and there he was with a cardboard box about the size of a shoe box. I asked him what was in it. A live tarantula he apparently caught on the playground. He was going to get in a daycare bus with a live tarantula and sit behind the driver. I made him go turn it loose in the field by the driveway. Another student, kinder this time, was sucking on something in her mouth. It was after school duty out front this time waiting for a parent pick up. We don't have food at that time of day so I asked what was in her mouth. She said a jewel. I asked to see it. It was a shard of broken coke bottle. She could have seriously cut her mouth up. She cried horribly when I took it away from her. Thought I was stealing her jewel. Let the mom know when she got there. Then there was that time my daughter took her little purse to daycare. Unknown to me she had her markers in it and managed to draw make up on the other kids faces.

Ha! Love the tarantula story. I came home to find 2 coffee cans on table. Opened one to find... scorpions. My boy had been collecting scorpions in the cane fields.
