40 Posts About “Genius” Kids That Are So Clearly Lies, It’s Embarrassing (New Pics)
Parents are likely the most biased people when it comes to their children. Reasonably so—every achievement, no matter how big or small, seems special when it’s your kid. That might be one of the reasons moms and dads want to let the whole world know about it.
However, some of them take it one step too far, and make such accomplishments sound a little too impressive. Reddit’s 'Woke Kids' community boasts an entire collection of examples like this. We gathered them into another list covering children’s extraordinary behavior that just seems too good to be true. If you haven’t yet seen the first edition, make sure to check it out here.

Folding Laundry, Being Woke, And Cackling. Work Done
It's because everything of monetary value that could be carried away had already been stolen by Egyptians.
Load More Replies...We actually have a TV show here in Australia actually called "Stuff The British Stole". I don't expect the BBC will buy the rights to screen it.
Here comes the downvotes, but I'm sure Britain hasn't been the only nation to "steal" antiquities.
I think your right. We did steal loads of stuff and it should absolutely be given back but there are a lot of countries that did the same. All colonial countries should be held to account not just the funny meme ones.
Load More Replies...It's quite a famous joke and if the kids had heard adults making it before, I can see how it could happen.
Hey, we didn't steal everything! Takes a few sentences with me on the way out lol
Kids folding laundry?? Bit of a giveaway from the start, to anyone still talking about the British stealing stuff
In my country kids have chores, it differs from family to family what kind of chores, but there are definitely families where the chores include folding a load of laundry. There's also families where kids and teenagers can earn some extra allowance when they do some extra chores, I did lots and lots of folding and ironing clothes as a teen to get some extra money.

My brother's eight. I have yet to hear him speak of anything other than Pokémon.
Except that this child is correct. Music does incorporate mathematics; counting, rhythm, recognition and repetition of patterns, 4/4 timing needs to be universally understood as 4 beats per measure/4 measures per line, and so on. Despite the fact that music is unquestionably an artform, the way it is notated is decidedly mathematical. And math is the science of both structure and of change, seeking to identify and compute equations for those patterns.
Why in the world are people downvoting you for stating a fact.
Load More Replies...Not saying music is math, but it might help to understand that music notes are great example of a logarithmic scale. (One octave's notes are double the frequency of the same notes one octave lower; Pleasing intervals are those that closely resonate; the higher note in a 5th interval vibrates 3 times for every 2 times the lower note vibrates, etc.)
Everyone Clapped And Asked For Consent
I can actually see this happening - kids have just had a (very important) lesson on the importance of consent, class joker decides to be funny, and you have a tweet ready to be sent.
She doesn’t indicate ages either, so this could be high school students for all we know.
Load More Replies...In the comments on the original post, she says it's a 18 year old and that the joke already circulated online as well. But even if it didn't, teenagers nowadays get taught about consent in sex ed, so it's not weird if he came up with it himself. She never said the boy was a young kid. (or are there cultures where you can't use the word boy for older teenagers?)
Not even bragging about their child! Just laughing at something funny another child said!
So far, I can see most of theses happening. Plus, she doesn't say how old the students were.
yes, men would appreciate being asked for consent as well. it's a show of respect in an area where we are almost always taken for granted
This Isnt The Most Unbelievable Thing, But
Funny things kids roar? I mean, how do we know it was funny? I don't speak dinosaur. Maybe the kid was just asking for a plate of people nuggets.
Load More Replies...I can actually believe this one, tbh. That is a very 5y/o thing to do.
Com'on, this is not hard to believe. I have a 2y old who roars at everyone who says the word dinosaur, even at the TV 😂
Okay. I barked at people when I was little they'd coo "oh she's so cute" or some bs and I'd bark and say "I'M A DOG" so yeah.
This, unlike the many other posts on this thread is at least believable. I can totally see a five year old doing this.
I LOVED dinosaurs when I was little.I knew all of the names of them. And I’m a girl.
Damn Right
Soooo...your "second grader" knows the difference between your and you're, but doesn't understand that the first letter in a sentence as well as the "i" in "I'm" should be capitalized? Not to mention that the last word in their statement is NOT OKAY? That's not parenting I would brag about...
Daughter Starts A Whole Protest
Yeah, me too - I don't think this necessarily belongs here.
Load More Replies...To be fair, I was leading strikes at school at 12. This could have happened.
yeah this is provable, so probably did happen, all it would take is a different parent on the friends list who lives nearby checking if their own kids saw it. most parent tweets/lies are not provable by anyone.
This I DO believe. Look at Greta Thunberg and what she's been through and achieved at such a young age.
Nah, I call BS on this one. Can't get most adults to do this because it requires advance development of the prefrontal cortex and an altruistic empathy for others and the world at-large. Also, you can't get that many kids out of class at the same time short of a fire drill.
First Graders Are Known For Thought-Provoking Sociological Commentary
There is one for men. It goes "Dude, Mr., Sir". XD (joke)
Load More Replies...I'll bite. Aside from the "wild " part, my mom and I had the same conversation, at the same age.
Yeah, I actually remembered thinking the same when I started school at about 4 - I had some teachers who were Miss, some were Mrs, some were Mr and my mum got bills addressed as Ms. So I dunno.
Load More Replies...Women didn't generally approach or initiate relationships with men in days gone by, so Miss/Mrs help keep men from bothering married women. You go back far enough and apparently only women could commit adultery. So a man's marital status was not deemed important (or incriminating) enough to warrant a title.
Master and mistress. A woman could be a mrs without being married in the past. Not until after the 1900s the meaning changed.
Load More Replies...in school we call female teachers 'Ms' regardless of if they're married or not.
I think I read somewhere that there actually were such words for man. They just fell out of use for some reason.
When my father was a child he got laughed at for calling a woman selling potatoes on the market mrs. She wasn't a lady back than...
Ballsy (Or ‘Flatsy’ Since Kiddo Is A Flat-Earther) Statement
What's scarier - the fact that a mom wrote this pretending to be her 3rd grader, or the fact that, if this was real, a 3rd grader is already using "u" in place of "you"? XD
People brainwashing their kids like this is scary. What's next, a return to a medieval system of fiefdom? Burning scientists at the stake? These parents need a dose of science-based reality.
Again, if this is something the kid has heard from its environment at home, I can easily see this being something they would write. Children are like sponges, they listen to and absorb a lot more than many people think. As a teacher I would be shocked sometimes at the views kids had until I realised they were just what they were hearing at home and it's why unbiased, facterly correct teaching is needed so much, to break the cycles of incorrect information being passed down the generations!
You can tell who his parents voted for. And unfortunately he'll grow up without the critical thinking skills needed to determine who is really telling him the truth.
I'm always happy to put these people into a spaceship and lob them off the earth to take a good look. I mean, a good look during an untethered spacewalk.
Kid Has Got A Point
Depending on the age, a kid could’ve actually written this. However chances are if it was a kid they wrote it trying to be a smart a**e
Sorry, I call BS. It's in cursive. Not just any cursive, lazy adult cursive lol
If the kid is a teen, their handwriting might actually be like this
Load More Replies...Actually most textbooks and workbooks are made at factories with sustainable forests these days...-2 points
I can see this, especially if they are learning about ecological footprints and the environment
Under A Post About Stranger Things Using The Word “Eskimo”
The chart is okay, but would have been greatly improved by "no, but in purple."
Load More Replies...As an Alaskan learning Unangax̂, not all Native Alaskans are Inuit. They are divided into three groups: the Aleuts, the Inuit, and the many different Indian tribes. Many live on our islands.
Thank you for sharing! I grew up in the 80s/90s when our education system taught us to refer to the indigenous people of Alaska as "Eskimos" and the indigenous people of mainland America as "Indians". I believe it's important to hear from the peoples themselves as to how we should properly refer to and address them.
Load More Replies...If someone taught them at some point that the word eskimo was incorrect, they might say this, even a younger kid probably would.
And a lot of native North Americans prefer Eskimo since Inuit isn't right for them either
hmm I've taught my kids already to use the endonyms for countries/nations/demographic groups rather than their imposed names (eskimo = "eater of raw meat", apparently). So their default is Inuit. However I have also pointed out to them that there are other tribes, unfortunately I am ignorant of the exact differences. I was aware of Aleuts (Thanks Persephone) but not others. In Africa it is the same, English-speaking people come here and indiscriminately refer to "blacks" whereas we have hundreds of tribes, and some of them are remarkably different in appearance. Compare for example the !Xam to the AmaZulu.
it takes place in the 80s, ofc the characters are gonna use language that isn't 100% pc
I Do Not Like This Mother
Wait until she sees barbie and comments on the nonsensical beauty standard
Second thing she said was “ All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident” And then she ran a marathon and wrote a book on logic of human destiny
The next thing she will probably say is: ‘ it’s not the atmosphere, it’s the atmosflat’
And Then Everybody Clapped
No, no. White privilege smells like Axe body spray. (joke! I like how Axe/etc smells. I use Old Spice deodorant, and I'm female XD )
Load More Replies...seriously, why do parents do this? They can´t actually think that somebody believes this BS and is impressed, right?
Idk, this does seem like something a kid would hear on YouTube, or from their adults, and then repeat in totally inappropriate situations. The stuff my seven year old says where I have to ask where did you hear that?
Load More Replies...I feel I should add, before I get diwnvoted, that I snorte at the thought of a 6 yo saying this.
A Totally Real Question About Santa
Katie was telling a joke. I highly doubt we were supposed to take that literally, given who she is.
She isn't world famous, though. She's a congress person from California (google), is she known in all the US?
Load More Replies...We've never told our kids to believe in Santa (or not to, we're santagnostic I guess) but I have also hypocritically started the tradition that any time someone sings a Christmas song before black Friday or after new years that Santa eats an elf. So there's that.
my husband literally asked this of his mother when he was little. if santa made all the toys how could he get his branded licensed star wars toys? she honestly tried to explain how santa was able to outsource some operations or something
5yo Starts An Airline Business
I can’t believe a 5 year old would say that. Source: I am 5 years old.
Pilot (to my 5-year-old black son): Do you know you could clean the plane when you grow up? Pilot (to my 10-year-old gay son): Do you know you could be a flight attendant when you grow up? Pilot (to my 8-year-old developmentally challenged child): Did you know you'll be a burden to the world when you grow up? As much as I despise the prevalence of rampant homophobia, transphobia, sexism, racism, ableism, any-kind-of crapism ... I HATE when idiots try to fuel the flames with overt falsities. The world is already crappy enough as it is. But, there is a TON of good out there too. Let's inflate the GOOD STUFF instead.
or she could be the one flying it , why tf she gotta just be a flight attendant?
Pretty sure the pilot didn't say that. This is fictional "patriarchy".
Load More Replies...I took my step Grandaughter, also 5 years old to work with me and showed her the bosses office. He had a long window on one side with a wide ledge. On that ledge, he had displayed toy tractors and farm equipment. She looked at it, turned to me and said, “I thought the boss would be a woman”. Made me proud
Give or take it will be in 20 years time, the prospect of owning a plane is probably as remote as owning a car.
Or I could be the pilot, would make more sense to me coming from a kid.
Unattended 7yo At The Park
I believe this. I had a kid tell me I was going to hell because I was divorced and remarried. He told my wife and I that we were sinners and going to hell. His grandmother looked quite proud of herself. I said, cool, can't wait to see you there. It wasn't an effective comeback. He just said "no you won't".
Load More Replies...I don't normally support bursting a kids bubble, but if the kid's bubble is full of hate, then that sucker needs to be burst wide TF open.
Can y’all stop painting all religious people under one brush? Plenty of Christians aren’t like this, and newsflash Christianity isn’t the only religion. I’m religious, my religion doesn’t support doing this (maybe some minority sects do, but not the majority), and me believing in G-d doesn’t make me a bad person (I’m also not Christian)
Fact. Santa, the Easter Bunny and God were all made up to make children behave.
*lol* In the 1-to-1,000,000,000 chance of me ever getting a child, that´s how I would raise him: God doesn´t exist.
Mom & Dad Please Ban Gas Stoves!!
This looks exactly like how I wrote my cats' valentine's day cards "from" them to my ex - I wrote them with my non-dominant hand, with purposeful misspellings XD ...I'm 40
I see fake. Nothing wrong with gas cooking unless the area isn't ventilated them the kid had a point!
there's lately been a big flap in the usa about using gas to cook. Because apparently electricity (made in potentially coal-fired non-clean power stations), is cleaner than gas. In my country we have barely enough electricity to power the country an entire day (it usually goes down). So... no chance of us ditching gas anytime soon.
Load More Replies...This is so ridiculous, that’s obviously written by an adult trying to make it look like a child’s writing
Anyone who's ever seen a small child's writing knows this is fake!
get an extractor fan, problem solved and you don't have to pander to this bs. I just had my kitchen remodelled and chose a gas hob because all the electric ones were those s****y "induction" hobs that you need special pans for, and can only have so much running at once. Like.. you couldn't use all 4 rings. Wtf was the point? So I went gas. Much better.
No. Social media just gave people like this a soap box.
Load More Replies...If this IS a kid, can you imagine the level of abuse that their "education" consists of? Who told them that their kids gas stove is killing them? Ya know, rather than making sure that they are vented?
If this is in reference to gas stoves, this child is being lied to. No surprise though.
I wouldn´t want gas stoves in my house either. But that's because I am low key afraid of it when something goes wrong...
Yep I Bet She Did
OP probably did that himself... and is too embarrassed to have done it, as a grown-a*s man, when he should just embrace the nerd. Sooo he pretended his daughter did it XD
I never understood why people idolize royals or other celebrities. Unless you are british she was just another woman like millions of women on the world.
She served in WWII against the nazis. Tell my this is bad, why it should not be respected?
Load More Replies...As a nerd and... Complicated follower of the royal family, I would have taken that as an opportunity to discuss what co-opting such a beautiful African kingdom (even if fantasy) with the British royal family is... Complicated.
Yeah For Some Reason I Doubt That
Having been a nanny I buy this; seven-year-olds will use any excuse to start screaming about poop.. and annoyingly imitate obnoxious YouTube videos.
I hate those YouTube videos. Especially clickbait thumbnail ones
Load More Replies...Because it's never too early for kids to learn you can ignore the speed limit and face zero consequences for your actions
Doesn't work. My son actually had to pee, and was trying to get him to the bathroom, got pulled over and explained why. Cops held me there for an hour before giving me a ticket. My son had to sit in his own p**s the whole time crying. He was five. Maybe this would work for white people, but not us.
This parent has literal issues. Attention and lack of things to do issues.
And Then He Joined The Foreign Legion
Especially since "In a world of...be a..." is a grownup phrase. No child has that concept.
Load More Replies...I'm proud to say my younger kids have no idea who Will Smith or Volodymyr Zelenskyy are. I'm less proud to say they do know a bunch of Minecraft and Roblox YouTubers. But they don't need to know about war and human suffering just yet. Let them have their childhood. By teenager knows, who Zelenskyy is but I doubt he'd say something like this.

Son that guy from the church isn't God and where he touched you isn't your heart
At a new church we started this month, they have a kid time where they all go up front. The pastor told a story about Jesus on a mountain and asked the kids what part had never happened to them. My 6 year old said, “hiking”. Well, true. We’ve never taken him hiking. (They were looking for the light glowed from Jesus part). There was another question about what happened to Jesus and my kid said, “He got killed.” Also, not the answer they were looking for. Also, no idea where he learned that Jesus got killed. We just started taking him to church.
@OliverKlozof, it actually really did happen just yesterday. My kid is a hoot. I have dozens of hilarious and heartwarming stories that are way more unbelievable than this one. I’ve shared several of them before on here like when he opened a pen!s store. I think that was one of the funniest ones.

I Totally Believe Her Little Kid Said This. I Remember My Daughter’s First Words Were About The Socio-Political Landscape She Would Have To Overcome As A Woman
People seem to think this is a really young girl. I don't know what they do these days but I had recess until 8th grade. That's 12/13 years old.
A karate kick that young? They didn't learn the principle of karate, just to kick people. Shame on the senseí, shame on the parents for not understanding the ideals.... But hey, if you watch UFC and eat and listen to s**t, what's the prob, Bob?
If it were an older kid I would believe they would THINK that, but not say it aloud.
Yeah , a child's first words were about "socio- political landscape"🥴🤣😔
She probably had a friend of a friend's kid in the classroom across the other side of the school tell her mom that she karate kicked a kid and the mom had to make up an excuse as to why so her child wouldn't look like a little sh.. just karate chopping over there. Lol
Ok Then Jasper
I can imagine the kid seeing this note and going "Hey Mom, what's a Elon Mask?"
And also “Why doesn’t a vaccinated kid need presents?”
Load More Replies...Mom: "There we go, sweety. Now you won't get any presents for Christmas" Kid: "What?"
From a parody account I think. But if it had been a real fake rather than fake real fake, it would be obvious because they didn't point out how proud they are of the indentation. 🙄
His method for making the capital "E" and the lowercase "s" is oddly adult, compared to his other writings.
I love how all the fake kid writing is so clear and neat. All have been better than my handwriting
Grandma Made Up A Fake Homework Assignment To Own The Libs
Sure, schools asking children what they would bring to communist meetings - sounds so plausible. (rolls eyes)
ah yes, teach your children that the only proper response to a political belief that you don't agree with is MURDER BY FLAMETHROWER! what could go wrong?
A+ for effort. Imagine actually printing up an obviously fake quiz so you could fill it out posing as a child, photograph it, and then post it to show what a "great" parent you are. I genuinely feel bad that they need attention this badly...
I'm not sure whether they mixed up community with communist! Makes this post more funnier either way.
Damn, I forgot to bring poems to my local communist meeting again, shucks !
Of Course Emma Wrote That
I mean... that is the kind of silly answer a kid would come up with. But, yeah, that handwriting is too nice for a kid.
She's six and her penmanship (pencil) is better than people in college.
Painfully Fake

In surprise news, movie faithful to 100 year old book written by 200 year old man fails bechdel test. [Edit I am too lazy to look up actual ages, sorry, feel free to correct me.].
131 and 69. All the main characters are male, so there is only so much they can do, but they could’ve taken some modern freedoms with this one. 😄
Load More Replies...Eowyn said it in a way to help the girl not give into her fears, later on i remember the mother finding the brother and sister, unless i made that up, where's a kid to write it for me!
Now I have to watch it again, and remember to look for that.
Load More Replies...Well, there's also the scene where Freda(the little girl) talks to her mother before she and her brother ride for Edoras.
The little girl also speaks to her mother! And it is a male-centered story because of the times it was written in. But there are still great female characters! Éowyn! Galadriel! Arwen and Rosie didn't do anything but they were still models of virtue, which was very important to Tolkien and his Catholic faith. PLUS! plenty of Tolkien's other works (The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales) pass the Bechdel test. I will defend Tolkien until my last breath. I would have gone with him to the end, into the very fires of Mordor.
A story created by a man for his sons. The lack of strong female characters makes sense in this context. My dad use to make up epic adventures to tell us as kids (all girls) when we were camping and reading to us was tricky. Not on JRT level, and probably based on some half remembered stories. Characters were invariably female.
Mummy? Why Have I Got To Hold Up This Si-Just Shut Up And Keep Still! At Least Look At The Camera!!

Cookies. I don't think that large a bribe was necessary.
Load More Replies...It's becoming a ridiculous hate fest against white people in general, which is stupid because "white" is no more homogeneous than people of colour. White people from the Balkans were colonised, oppressed and genocided by the ottomans, who were Asian but it's absolutely not acceptable for them to say "Turkish privilege". It's just blind retaliation at this point, and it's perfectly acceptable. This photo is particularly disgusting. Teaching the child about race relations for one, when all she probably cares about is chocolate custard, using the child for self depreciating likes and using her to propagate an agenda that will be detrimental to her in her future
Load More Replies...From the rotting baseboards, She's not that "privileged" lol
Load More Replies...Sigh, if you want to virtue-signal, at least do it yourself, not with your kids. A proper way to teach kids about white privilege is to actually show them its effects and reality on the ground. Thanks, an African.
We don't know, but suppose she does show the child the effects, etc?
Load More Replies...The white hate trend is having real world consequences for white kids in mostly minority schools. My daughter gets so much racism spewed at her daily. Its just repeating history. Super frustrating because my mom marched for equal rights and treatment when she was in highschool .
But it's highly profitable. The people who tell them to think this are raking in the donations.
Load More Replies...Okay
hmm the ages are not given. IF we assume an american and the b/f is 16 like the driver, the sister is most likely around 12-14 yo, assuming a typical 2-4 y age gap. So yeah, I believe this is plausible.
Forgot to say the younger sister is 4 & also said this in sign language at the same time. 😝
How about appearance is not that important and the boyfriend would rather compliment her on something she said or did ?
As mother of too many daughters ( 3 so tired ) this is most probably true ( my 13 yr old just told her 16 yr old sisters 18 year old boyfriend if he hurts her she will kill him - sister love too much or hate fiercely no in between but often at once lol )

This makes me cringe so hard, I can only see the gas splashing back into his little eyes and mouth. This is child endangerment.
In my country, it's illegal for anyone under 16 to put petrol or diesel in a car.

I guess if you post something as ridiculous as this, you're foolish enough to think someone might believe it
Well, this is illegal. That child is way too young to even be pumping gas, let alone making that long-winded statement about things that are his mother’s baggage. All kinds of parenting errors going on here!
Finally Found One In The Wild!
well don’t be jealous but when i was SEVEN i was able to trip on thin air and was a MODEL student in ballet (it was for kindergartners but age is just a number) so what can YOU offer
Well, I was in the ADVANCED READING CLASS in first grade, and I even knew how to spell "tomorrow" *haughty sniff*
Load More Replies...I can believe that a 8 years old girl genuinely doesn't know why would she go out with a boy. At the age of 8 you probably still think that all boys have cooties.
The fact that someone designed this thought, physically typed it and undoubtedly rewrote it a hundred times before publishing it scares me. A lot.
When I was seven I was top of the class at school and karate and my most impressive skill I could trip up stairs
Damn, some people have no shame. So clearly made up. These made up stories about people’s children only shine a spotlight on the parents’ insecurities.

Load More Replies...Diagnosed autistic person here—PLEASE stop using Asperger’s (name of a guy who literally was a Nazi) and high/low-functioning (it’s not that simple.)!
As a fellow neurodivergent who works with neurodivergent teens, I would really like a few more words to describe ASD though. I completely agree Asperger's is out, but I feel we need some new terms to help communicate with everyone else - in schools at least. An exchange I often have goes; hello (insert teacher name), child X in your class has ASD, please make sure he/she gets favourite chair in your seating plan and take care of who sits next to them. Teacher panics and asks why I'm not stopping - I assure them child will be fine so long as placed there. Fast forward a few weeks, I'm called because child is in melt down. I find kid in wrong seat. Teacher is mistified- saying they can't understand as the kid has shown no signs of any problems. Teacher then assumes child is doing this by choice to get own way. Usually ends by teacher insisting I stop babying kids. Month on, I can't get kid in to class. I'm not talking about one kid here - this happens all the time.

Load More Replies...Wait.. so this woman who has a son, is applauding her son not having children? While she had them? Am I missing something here?
Aside from the age question of course, the decision to have children or not is very personal, or should be. So a mother respecting her child's decision is a good thing.
Load More Replies...You're proud your child and his friends are already thinking about getting sterilized at 13? You know, there are other "birth control" options.
I knew I didn't want kids when I was a kid. I was super young and I'd scream "I hate babies!" when parents tried to force their baby at me as a toddler (some kids like them I guess? Never understood why people did that, maybe it was simply sexism - "girls better get used to these things" lol)
I didn't want kids that age, as I'm an only child. I CHOSE to be a dad to my 1st child, but I did, knowing I'd be a better dad than the none he would have. Gave him my 1st name cuz that's all I could give him before he was born and gave him a better version of my middle name in my eyes, as not to be a junior per se, but he knows I didn't make him and he's 16 years old now and is proud to have me as his dad, and has 3 younger siblings from his mom and I. And they and I get complimented all the f'ing time how friggin awesome they all are. I am so proud of all of them, and I have raised them by myself for years. My kids will and HAVE, made amazing impacts on countless otherss, and none of them want kids either at this point. Don't make heavy choices until you can weigh the positive and negative. If you've ever had a kid run ahead of you to hold a door, help you with a bag of animal food into you car or cart, or be the 1st to say you can go ahead in line, you don't know. Love my kids.
#DoWhatYoureWorth it's worth it. Not easy, but it's right. We all deserve at least that.

So people think it's great children are not born from this day forward?
Woke 4/Yr Old. White Man Bad
I'm all for animal rights and the humane treatment of animals, but saying that a bird is just as equally oppressed as a group of actual human beings that have been systematically murdered, neglected, and abused is just... wrong on so many levels.
100% agree Lakota, that's beyond messed up. Also, not sure why anyone would equate turkeys with bad white men; I'm so baffled by the choice of lie, here. (And side note; why has she typed the 'quote' in baby talk? Excuse me whilst I cringe so hard that I disappear into myself.)
Load More Replies...Oh, I recognize her! She was first in line at the "Buy a hot dog, get a free PhD" booth at the county fair. And then she asked if the hot dog was made from "tuwkey" or "beeph". And then everyone else in line cried harder.
What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up? Sued For Malpractice
Don't worry Mom, growing up may not be an issue at all for your poor kid.
Took me a minute to realize this was anti-vax. It sounded adorable and honest like the kid hated getting shots because they hurt. Then I got that the poor kiddo hadn’t actually experienced a shot… sad.
The kid next to him was asked, and he said "I am going to build little coffins"
yes maybe in a non-medical field where facts aren't important, like discourse analysis.
Load More Replies...vets give shots. dogs have to have anti-rabies vax. guess all dogs are now autistic and tracked by Bill Gates... /s/ jk /smh
Load More Replies...5 year olds definitely repeat lots of the stuff their parents say, so this isn't unbelievable at all. It's just dumb that the mom is so proud of it, it doesn't say anything about the kid or the kid's intelligence or what the kid will grow up to believe, it's just a sign that the kid is still at the age where they parrot everything the parent says.
Woke Breastfeeding
Wtf that is not normal your child is NOT normal
Load More Replies...Look I don't want to be that person. Being a mom and raising a kid must be hard, and you gotta stick to your instincts and intuition. But from the moment the little guys have a full set of teeth, eat normal meals, and have full conversations I fear continuing "boobing" as always can start being damaging to their psychological growth.
Maybe she's Lysa Arryn from Game of Thrones
Load More Replies...Before I scrolled down to see the age of this child and the fact they're in school uniform, I was thinking it was maybe a toddler or something. How wrong I was. Also, can we stop referring to breasts as 'boobies'? It's such a childish and cringey word for adults to say. Teach your kids the proper names for body parts, please... Kids need to be able to clearly communicate if there is any kind of issue going on with themselves.
“Kids need to be able to clearly communicate if there is any kind of issue going on with themselves”: Exactly. In this case, he needs to be able to clearly tell a responsible adult that he’s six and a half and he’s being breastfed. Something’s seriously wrong here.
Load More Replies..."He then boobed boobily until he couldn't boob anymore. He drifted off to sleep and dreamed about boobs..."
I’m wandering when until this boy is going to get picked on or disgusted by everyone
Now. It's already happening. Little kids don't know what to filter out/not say, so I guarantee this poor kid has already said to the kids at school that "Mommy lets me have milk from her boobies".
Load More Replies...I'm Sure She Picked It Out Herself
Poor little thing. Stupid parents dressing her to make sure people start a fight with them. People this dumb shouldn't be allowed to procreate.
Bruh, there is a bible sized list of reasons to not let people procreate, take a number.
Load More Replies...That little girl has no idea what she's wearing. Let's stop trying to burden little kids with politics, ok?
I bring my kid up to police so he can say hi. I want him to trust police and view them as safe. As with any group you’re going to have rotten apples but I think a huge majority are decent people trying to do their job.
That's nice. My experiences with police have all been very negative. I do not trust the police and tell my kids to avoid them if possible, stay away from trouble makers so the police don't need t to talk to you. But I'm a Latino in the US, and my son's mother is black, so he's screwed on both sides. My younger kids are from my second marriage, their mom is white, and her experience with police is a lot different from mine.
Load More Replies...Yes get rid of police! Oh hang on your house got broken into who you gonna call? NO ONE! S/
why should we abolish the police? would you rather criminals run wild, r*ping and murdering? no? well, the police's job is to keep 'em locked up so they can't do that. sometimes they don't always do their job right, and some may do bad things, but that's the minority. most officers are here to do their best to bring justice.
THANK YOUUUU. my dad has so many friends that are police and they are the sweetest people who take pride in their job and don't support any bs from other officers.
Load More Replies...If someone snatches that little girl and the police save her, I wonder if mom will dress her differently in the future. Few things are more obnoxious to me than parents who advertise their political views on their children.
Good for him. That little girl will remember positive interactions like this.
As the man is peeling off the badge sticker for the child in his arms. You can be against excessive force by the police and still respect the job they do. And no. I am not a child. I am actually an adult saying this.
Using children to make a political point? Be very careful about the point you're making.

Eight Year Old Kids Definitely Care About This Stuff
What?! I saw the Lightyear movie and I don't think they portrayed Buzz as gay...? His friend Hawthorne was gay, and it was amazingly tastefully and properly portrayed. And even if they DID "turn" Buzz gay, why is that "wrong"? Why does that "ruin everything"? ughhhh it's 2023, why are we STILL on about homoesexuals "ruining everything"?
100% agree. Having the tiniest bit of representation isn't "ruining the entire movie" They literally never even say the word "gay," they just show two married women, and rather briefly iirc
Load More Replies...To me, this has zero to do with a movie. This is a parent using a child to further their agendas all while lying. Legit.
She probably wouldn't even notice it if you didn't purposefully point it out. She's just repeating whatever she hears adults around her are talking about.
Your 8 year old only knows what you taught them which says a lot 😒
This is just a homophobic parent using their child as a scapegoat to further their hateful agenda.
I haven't seen the movie but, didn't Buzz like Jessie? Not that preference matters, continuity does.
XD The "Lightyear" movie is ostensibly about the "real" Buzz Lightyear person that the toy is based on in the Toy Story movies. So, the Toy Story plots/Buzz the Toy don't exist at all in the Lightyear movie. It's about the "human" Buzz (if that makes sense).
Load More Replies...Being gay isnt wrong, being closedminded is wrong. The Europeans were closed minded and made the coloured people slaves, they decided that even after slavery was proven wrong that they would be racist. Even know I am experiencing racism towards me and my family just because we are a different colour, just because we have different religion and culture. Even all of my friends are scared to come out as part of the LGBTQ+ community. One of my friends looks American and they are scared to come out as their real religion and culture. Stop making us need to fear you. Let us be who we really are.

Reminded Me Of This Subreddit
Translation: While most kids actually learn about science, safety, and being kind and accepting, this... person (I couldn't think of a word that was accurate but also polite) is brainwashing their kids with conspiracy theories, and buying overpriced groceries
Damn right we aren't the same. My children grew up to be respectful with common sense.

Lol, your kids waited until being conceived? How lazy.
Load More Replies...Ok but there is an actual thing called hyperlexia, where people learn to read early, often teaching themselves, and read voraciously. 2, though. I’m skeptical.
Well I did start reading comic books before four and I don't remember learning to read. I just did. Course I couldn't pronounce the words I only heard in my head and everyone thought I was speaking Chinese when I would try and say them
A 5 year old telling mom they love her make up is believable, especially if they’ve heard someone else compliment somebody the same way. But the “taught himself” mom is ridiculous. I don’t think 2 year olds have the fine motor skills to write. Maybe read, some kids just randomly absorb that from being read to, very rare. What’s he going to do by 6? Teach himself to drive?
Save Neil Young
That's some pretty amazing handwriting for a five year old! I wonder if maybe his mom had a hand in this?
I was decently well-read at age 5, but I sure as heck didn't know the word "boycott", and I probably couldn't have spelled "apologizes" correctly XD
Load More Replies...It’s actually funny too! I feel like whoever submitted it was completely humorless
Load More Replies...This is really freaking funny. Imagine a five year old so passionate about Neil Young. “Mommy, can we watch ‘Greendale’ again?”
Then getting into an argument whether Buffalo Springfield was better than CSNY🤣
Load More Replies...Spotify is getting ridiculous about removing content, directly and indirectly.
Just for history's sake: Rogan didn't force Neil Young from Spotify, Young pulled his music from Spotify because Spotify bought Rogan's rights. Small difference, especially for a lawyer (Esq.).

Real Conversation With Daughter
I’m sick of seeing tweets where parents force/ pretend to force their own political views into children. Young kids should have no other job apart from living their life without the burden of idiots like this
This isn't even a real person. This was posted by a troll farm hired by Johnny Depp's PR firm. They had tons of these people posting everywhere for months. You couldn't go online for a while without seeing an attack on Amber Heard or something about how great Johnny Depp is. I have no clue what is it isn't true about their marriage, but I do know his PR firm is top notch.
Load More Replies...1 x 2 x 3 x4 x 5 is 120. 5!= 1 x 2 x 3 x4 x 5. 5 squared is 25, however!
Load More Replies...This is not a comment on the Johnny Depp situation. But just a more general comment, in case anyone needs to hear it. Many people who use violence in their relationships are otherwise great to people. It would be possible to 'make sick kids happy' and still use abuse in one's relationships.

Not from the US either but i strongly suspect that it's the poor child's name. Hope i'm wrong, for the kid's sake

I got bullied and teased for being named "Crystal", not even a weird spelling thereof. I can't imagine the things poor Spurgeon is going to be called.

A Kid Singing About Their Food Seems Plausible But This One Takes It Over The Top (X-Post From R/Thathappened)
I know this post is fake, but PLEASE do NOT make your children vegan, even if you are. Especially your FOUR YEAR OLD. It can cause malnutrition and possibly kill them.
My MIL tried to explain to my kids (6 and 4) that eating meat makes humans ill and even our teeth are not suitable for eating meat. I am almost vegetarian myself, but if she tries again, she won’t be welcome for a period of time. Mostly I wouldn’t have reacted that sharply, but she has been ortorexic for decades, and has presented all kinds of stupid ideas to my kids regarding food. Now my 4-year old has refrained from eating sweets like birthday cake for a month ”saying I don’t like treats” and ”Is this a treat? Because I don’t like them” and I’m quite sure she had a hand in this.
It Even Ends With And Then Everyone Clapped
Ah yes, the classic 'everyone clapped' line... makes every story so much more believable....
hmm it depends. If this was in first year history class at university, sure.
Ummmm..yeah
So, when good white people read about colonization, slavery, genocide and massacres, they feel nice and comfortable? If you have to make up things your child said, at least think them through.

Not really, the Ottomans did attempt to invade Eastern Europe. But they were held back by a combination of an alliance of European states, and the Carpathian mountain range. The Mongol empire stopped their invasion of Europe after having made it past Germany because Europe was too poor, so why not try for India.
FYI, They failed their invasion of India. There it was the Himalayan mountains, and then malaria. They also failed at invading Japan, there it was an ocean, and the Japanese navy was far superior on water to the Mongol cavalry. But they pretty much conquered everything between Germany and China otherwise.
Load More Replies...Maybe If She Had Gone Vegan, Her Mother Would Still Be With Her
I took my kids to a protest before they knew what was going on. It's called indoctrination, and we ALL do it. We all want our kids to hold the same values as we hold, it's part of parenting. A few weeks ago I took my girls to make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the homeless. It's not something they would have asked to do, but it's part of learning that there are other people in the world don't have what they have, and they should be thankful for what they were given, and gracious enough to give to those who haven't. If I felt strongly about veganism, perhaps I would have my kid holding this sign. But I like eating meat and cheese, so I don't.
Boy Eloquently Explains Why Kellogg's Is His Favorite Cereal
"Mr. Kellogg's breakfast cereal is the only brand that prevents me sitting behind my locked bedroom door all day and night wa*king myself dry to Daddy's imported postcards of naughty French ladies attired only in their bloomers, and occasionally completely in the altogether. My goodness, the bushes on some of them!" Timmy, 11.
Most of these I do not believe and the rest I am amazed the parent is proud of the child.
Load More Replies...The amount of people and patents in this listicle making false stories about their children for five minutes of Internet clout is just pitiful. What two your old is screaming out to bring down the patriarchy and fight climate change. I think I was just screaming for nap time and silly toys at that age.
As a teacher I can see most of these actually being said by children. They are like sponges and absorb everything around them, and understand a lot more than we think. If a child grows up with family who are flat earthers, they will constantly be told that everyone else is wrong and silly and that the earth is flat. Equally if they are brought up in a household that teaches consent and respect, they will know all about that (plus it's taught in all the schools nowadays too) and it's very much seen as an important element in teens nowadays! This post more shows more that some adults (nice seeing lots of comments from people also saying the same as me) dismiss kids too quickly and don't think they have their own thoughts and take in more than we often give them credit for! Kids really do understand more than we often think they do, like when parents refuse to tell their children they're poorly or getting a divorce, the children will know/ know something is up and handle it more maturely
These made me laugh. I'm a retired elementary teacher; thirty years with fourth and fifth graders. Anyone with ANY experience with kids knows most, probably all, of these are made-up bs.
Years ago, I was working as a teachers aid in a multi-age classroom. The kids had reading sheets to take home every night. Whatever they read the parents wrote down.We had one little boy who was in Prep very early and only 4.His Dad bought back his reading sheet ,where he had signed off on this little guy having read the first Harry Potter book in 3 days and telling me how he'd be starting the second book that nigh....He seemed to forget that I read and wrote with this kid every single day and was fully aware that he basically couldn't read anything besides a couple of words and could not even write his own name!! I just smiled and nodded at Dad, then continued to get his kid to spell out the word "DOG".
For all I know kids between 3 and 8 might well be saying all this stuff, I’ve been hearing loads of them talking daily at work for years and I still can’t make out what they’re saying 98% of the time.
