We all used to be kids at some point, but child logic still remains largely a mystery. Even when we grow up and become parents ourselves. Imagine stuffing your backpack with "beautiful cube rocks" or bathing in paint containers after your parents spend $150.00 on a pool.
A subreddit r/KidsAreF***ingStupid offers a priceless collection of clueless little ones, both adorable and hilariously funny. “Like what, you seriously can't hula hoop? Jesus Christ,” says the description of the group with a whopping 1.7 million members. All that you're gonna see below will make you wonder whether you too were like this, and the answer is most likely positive.

Wholesome Stupidity
To us adults, kids oftentimes look like aliens from another planet. Full of genuine excitement, curiosity, and honesty, they carry the traits many of us lose on our way into adulthood.
Vineet Nayar, the founder of the Sampark Foundation based in Delhi, believes that such traits are so valuable, leaders should take lessons. “The games kids play often have an element of ‘imagine’, which we leaders overlook in our obsessive focus on movement on the road ahead and the rear view mirror.”

In this small world of ours, Vineet claims, we should ask childlike questions like "Why not?" The little ones are also hungry for information, soaking in all the tiniest everyday experiences that turn the world into an enormous playground. Given the opportunity, every child is ready to explore.
“We can discuss other traits of children—trust, loyalty, intuitiveness, responsibility, dedication, competitiveness, collaboration, excitement, adventure, challenge, moral fulfillment, et al.—and apply them to leadership,” argues Vineet.

My Son's Latest Attempt At “Hide And Seek”
Hans 5 years ago
If you consider how the brain developes, this is another stange and a great achievement. At first, children believe objects they do not see do not exist anymore. Than they think if they cannot see something, they cannot be seen. This child found a great way to hide himself altogether, "just" not perceiving yet that a semi-transparent box will not do the trick. Once he fully developed the theory of mind, he will also understand. In short: not stupid, but a good sign of development!

Kids Are Special Beings
Kathy Baylis 5 years ago
My oldest brother John was born in 1942. Back in those days older people would tell someone who was freaking out “don’t get your bowels in an uproar”. You know how kids hear everything, right? Well, one day, my parents heard little Johnny outside playing with his friends and telling them “don’t get your balls in a drawer”.

Metabolic rate is often hereditary, and eating patterns are often learned from one's parents. It does make logical sense to wonder about that. However, kids have no idea how to word questions sensitively.

You can easily put him to sleep with the answer. Dabbling ducks generally aren't, however some diving ducks could be classified as predators, particularly the Mergansers, which are well adapted to catching and swallowing large fish.

My little brother went through a phase where he would grasp your hand and bite you.

What do you think ?
Gipsy Kings fan 5 years ago
I agree wholeheartedly! Little kids are still learning about the world; incidents like these are part of the learning process. When I was a little kid I complained to my Dad about a burnt flake in a box of cereal. He said, "Oh, there's always one like that." I interpreted his answer to mean that for each box of cereal, one flake sacrificed its life and got burnt in order to insure that all the other flakes turned out a perfect golden brown! :-D

It is sad to see how often adults call children, particularly toddlers, stupid, when they really do not understand how they mentally develop, asuming they perceive the world like they do. This actually is really stupid behaviour from those parents. And on top of this, quite a few of the entries here show a neglience of supervsision. Children are hillarious, and children do a lot of stupid things, but it gets much funnier if you try to understand how they think!
Hans 5 years ago
For those who perceive me as grumpy. I do condemn the notion of children being stupid, merely because they have no brain developed as an adult. Do you ridicule adults for not still possing the curiosity, endless creativity, and ability to relentlessly practicing movementsa child has? I laugh a lot when my children do weird things, but I also laugh when they make me realize what weird habits adults develop. And I would never make them feel that they are stupid! Be positive people, even in humour!
