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.

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!

Kid Describes Colour To A Blind Person
Oh Dear
It can also be a good idea to talk to them about the exciting coloured bottles that you're hiding away on top of the cupboards. You only find out how high a toddler can scale a mountain of toys after they've done it, and curiosity it a big incentive to ingenuity! Let them know what it is, and that it's dangerous and that's why you keep it somewhere safe. Let them have a supervised look at the bottles or tubs to satisfy their curiosity and they will be less likely to feel the need to seek answers on their own. Repeat the lesson every now and again as they grow. Same with medications.
I'm sorry to be negative, but this is one for the stupid parents post not the stupid kids post.
How is this a stupid parent? They're not letting the kid drink poison. The kid is crying because she wants something and her parent said no. Is the parent stupid because they aren't giving the child chemicals to drink? Help me out here.

I always made a rule of having anything sharp, breakable or poisonous (ie cleaners) on the highest shelf or cabinet, not the lowest. And put the heaviest stuff like mixers, cast iron and crockpots lowest so they don't fall. Never had to worry about my kid because if he opened the drawers all he would find is baking sheets and plastic tupperware. Locks help, until the adhesive wears off or if your kid is advanced and figures it out early.
Give her a spoon of vinegar or something. She will hate it and won't ever want them again
MOVE THEM. Chemicals go in the highest place with a lock, toys go under the cabinet until she's 18 !

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!
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!

whats even worse is actually saying to a childs face that they are stupid.
I will never understand the need to label something silly a child does as "stupid". Children are constantly developing and figuring out a world that is probably extremely daunting for them at times. Children do some really strange things that make us really scratch our heads, but to them it may make perfect sense. They're exploring, learning, and taking the world in. Now, can we have an article entitled "stupid things I've seen grown adults" do?
Ok these are fantastic and I was like I wonder if my kids do these. JUST as I thought that, my mother shows me a pic that someone put the cheese grater in the fridge. My 15 yr old is on dishwasher duty. 🤦♀️
Does anyone else select the "show (x) more" button and it doesn't show you more? It happens to me in quite a few articles, especially ones with 100+ posts. It's really annoying cuz I wanna see more.
It's just fun! Don't take calling stupid as offensively. I do understand that they are just little humans who honestly don't know anything about the world and are still learning so tagging them stupid is very wrong. But hey no one is tagging them here.. we r just having a little fun. And I do agree that calling them "cute or funny" would be more appropriate as responsible adults. We can still laugh at these incidents !! Having said that I'm Looking at my 1yea old wondering what he will do.. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
When I was young my dad said he would make a 3-D printed version of me, I then freaked out because I thought he was gonna love the 3-D printed me more than the real me.
Stupid fits the description. Nothing wrong with being a little ditz sometimes, adults do worse than these kids anymore. Some of them have the logic down just need some fine tuning.
I was talking to my sister on the phone and heard my two nieces shouting at each other in the background. When I asked my sister what was wrong, she said 'oh they're arguing about who is going to close a drawer'
My son wanted to take me to a secret place he and his brother discovered. To assure me we wouldn't get lost, he said "Don't worry. I know this place like the back of my head."
These comments! Chill out, Kids are stupid and it is cute at the same time, I highly doubt any of these parents actually call them stupid to their faces and if they do it will be meant playfully. Stop bloody judging everything 😏
If you tell a kid they are stupid or dumb, they will believe you. If you tell them something they did is dumb or stupid what they many times hear is you are stupid, you are dumb. You can't use these words playfully with a child.
