All kids are going to have their dumb moments, but it doesn't mean their parents love them any less. And while most of these instances will be silly and goofy, some of them might cross into the "I think I'm raising an idiot" realm.
One Reddit user asked parents to share the moment they realized their kid is likely not going to be a future Nobel Prize winner. Parents were eager to share the funny stories that somehow made sense in their little ones' heads. And we can't judge these kids too much — they're only using the knowledge available to them at the ripe age of however old they are to navigate the world, but we can sure thank them for their hilarious and entertaining interpretations.
The thread was wildly popular, and over 32k answers later, Bored Panda selected the most amusing anecdotes about silly kids. Scroll down, upvote your favorites, and if you've ever had an "I'm raising an idiot moment," don't hesitate to share your stories in the comments below!

When my son was 11 years old, he confidently informed me he was pretty sure he knew everything there was to know, because he tried to think of something that he didn't know, and couldn't think of anything.

My younger sister and I are mistaken for twins all the time because she is taller and looks older than her age, and she will say"that face doesn't match that outfit" I respond with "idk about that, we have the same face" and she says "at least I work it better". WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WE HAVE THE SAME FACE! YOU JUST CALLED YOURSELF UGLY BY CALLING ME UGLY! AND I AM NOT UGLY FFS!

Well, my aunts are adamant that they are identical twins. I don‘t know if they really believe so themselves or if they just want others to think that (they are retired and still dress the same and do everything together).

My 13 year old son was sniffing really hard and moving his head all around the area he was standing in. Slightly concerned he had lost his mind, I asked him what he was doing. He told me, "I farted. I'm trying to smell it all up, so you dont have to smell it." He's a thoughtful idiot.

I'm the idiot kid, but when I was about 3, after preparing dinner, my mom would leave me alone in the kitchen. After I finished, I would search for some M&Ms to nibble at, knowing I wasn't allowed.
Every time after I finished, I would go over to my mom and ask her "Did you hear me eating M&Ms in the kitchen?". She would always reply yes and I would always get so frustrated, because every time I tried to be as stealthy as possible.
I never realized what blew my cover until I grew older.

My little brother did something like this. I am 15 years older than him and my mom and I took him to K-Mart. We got what we needed and we were taking him out to the car. I held his hand on one side and my mom held his hand on the other side. He sweetly looks between us and says, "I didn't steal Batman." Guess what we found stuck down his little two-year-old shirt? Not only that, we were pretty diligent with watching him and have no clue how he snuck it without getting seen. Needless to say, Batman went back.

Then he walked son to the door and sent him out. I asked my son what happened ,he replied he just said thank you for bringing it back and I know you won't take anything without paying. My son just shook his head and the guard let him go.

She bought the cake but some were from the check out to the car the cake went missing. She asked if we had seen the cake we all said no. Mum frantically went looking for the cake time had passed, we had our dinner and was getting ready for bed when we yelled yak poo explosion going down the legs of my little brother. My older brother came out of his room informed us he could smell chocolate my little brother point to his nappy pull out the brown stuff gested with his hand for you. We all yelled yak until he ate it. That when we peace together that what was in his pants was the lost chocolate cake. To this day we still can't figure out how or when he put it in pants as he was sitting in the trolley seat.

I used to tell my kids not to take off their shoes and socks in the car, especially on short trips. Just leave them on so that we don't have to spend 5 minutes finding and putting them back on before we run into the store. Imagine a single dad with two young kids running around the car trying to re-shoe my children in the grocery store parking lot in the middle of an Arizona summer, yuck. One day we went to the store and my daughter was missing her shoe. It was nowhere to be found. "Daddy, I didn't want you to be mad that my shoe was off so I threw it out the window." Made sense to a 5-year old I guess.

My partner's then 17-year old was trying to sign into his school email account but kept getting "username or password incorrect". As he was getting more and more frustrated we said "What are you signing in as?" and watched him type. After watching a couple more failed attempts we looked at each other and smiled at each other before she said "There's no E in your name". Yep, 17, and he'd been spelling his own name wrong.

My youngest son, 14! years old, when we were on a train and he was looking outside: "Mum, what are these plants?"
Me: "They are potato plants."
He: "Fries are made from potatoes, right?"
Me: "Yes, of course. You know that, we made our own, can't you remember?"
He: "They should plant fries instead. No one likes potatoes!"
He looked at me with a face that said: "I invented space and time travel, bow in front of your genius son!" I just closed my eyes and hoped for the best.

My son came to our house to visit (he didn't live with us), we weren't home but we on our way home so he let himself in.
We walk in and he's freaking out about breaking our newly adopted cat or something to that effect. I asked him what was she doing, she looked fine to me. He said she was "vibrating" when she sat on his lap.
This is where he learned about cats purring. He hadn't been around a lot of cats so idk.

Heehee, this reminds me of something very specific. I'm a member of several pet rat fancier groups, and very often new rat owners will frantically come in saying "My rat is making this weird noise with their teeth and their eyes are bugging in and out! What's wrong with my baby?!" The response is always people laughing and saying "They're bruxing and boggling! That means they're happy!" To be fair, the first time you see and hear a rat doing that it's really weird, but it's their equivalent of purring! If your rat snuggles up against you and starts grinding their teeth while their eyes bug in and out, they love you and are feeling very comfy and relaxed.
BeepBoop the Single Pringle 2 years ago
aww that makes me have another reason I want a rat! I'm currently taking care of my hamster, chocolate chip (chip for short), and everyone has been surprised he's lived this long lol. I got him in September 2021. Even my mom was surprised, because I grew up with friends who would only have hamsters for a year at most. Chip also has a big glass cage, a wheel, a little wooden house he likes to sleep in, lots of wooden chews, and he has a little treat bowl that goes along with his normal food and water bowl. We give him healthy veggies that he likes if we are eating them that night. He's a very happy hamster!

I had a friend who was ... so. In 5th grade, he was onnver and our cat, the pacifist she was, made herself at home on his lap, lied down and started purring. He became very pale and said "Die knurrt mich an!", immobilizingly frightened by the cat who happily rolled around a few degrees more and, still, purring. To be fair, they didn't live with any pets, and the cats he came across, usually, were more if the distancing type (at his Grandma's, in a small village - outside-living cats), and therefore, he never got to have any experience with them...

When the Peter Pan Peanut Butter recall happened 10-12 years ago or so (due to salmonella) my then-15 year old daughter came in from school and as she was walking past the living room (tv was on) she stopped and watched the news report about the salmonella outbreak. She got this “ah-ha” lightbulb moment and said, “oh, now I get it! It’s about peanut butter! All day at school I kept hearing Peter Pan was killing people around the country and I thought he had turned bad or something and was now a villain.” I just stared at her waiting for her to say she was joking and didn’t really think Peter Pan was real, but no, she just went upstairs to her room like we just had a normal conversation about normal, every-day events.

When my oldest was 11, I was letting him stay up with me and my roommate (he's from my first marriage, I hadn't met my wife yet and was still a messy bachelor with a kid)
So, he's 11 right. Need to be clear about this. He's 11.
We're watching Colbert Report and Stephen says something happening in Congress politics whatever is "as likely as writing legislation with Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, or the Easter Bunny"
I chuckle at the dumb joke, only half paying attention. My kid sits up and says, "wait. Dad. What did he just say? What was .. can you explain that?"
I'm thinking maybe he's confused about the politics so I say these two powerful politicians aren't getting along. He says "yeah, no, right, okay .. so ... what else did he say again?"
By this point my roommate, who had been pretty much staring at his laptop, ignoring the TV and the two of us, starts watching us closely.
So I say "yeah, so that's as unlikely as meeting Santa Claus"
"Yeah??"
"Yeah, or .. the Tooth Fairy"
"Yeah??"
"Right. Or. The Easter Bunny"
"wwwWWWHHHAAAATT!!!!!????!!?!!??!?!???!!!"
My roommate let's out one small chuckle. I'm staring at him, a bit dumbfounded. Finally I ask, "buddy, did you .. still, um .. think there was a, uh .. a rabbit, who snuck into the house, and hid eggs?"
My roommate starts snickering. I'm just staring with a bewildered look. Kiddo is slumping down down down into the couch, angry teardrops welling up in his eyes. I don't know if he was embarrassed, mad at my roommate for laughing, or pissed off because he learned the Easter Bunny wasn't real in such a s****y way.
He already informed me that he knew Santa Claus was "just the parents" about oh I dunno, four years earlier? So I thought we were cool.
As I tucked him in that night, he explained "I just figured he stopped coming because I'm too old"

Mad Dragon 2 years ago
It depends. If it's clearly marked as a police car, pull over. If it's an unmarked car with flashing lights, turn on your hazards and find the closest public parking lot like a grocery store to pull over in. If you are driving in a remote area and the car is unmarked, turn on your hazards, call emergency services (like 911) and tell them your location and license plate, and ask them to verify the car has a legit police officer before pulling over.

My daughter was a messy teenager who had to be told to clean her room. She had a habit of letting dishes pile up on her nightstand. We were on her a*s constantly about not letting dishes especially sports bottles of juice sit around because they ferment. Well one day the husband and I were is our bedroom and heard an explosion and our daughter scream. We ran to her room to find one of her bottles of juice had finally given in to the pressure of the fermented juice and literally blew to pieces. The explosion was so powerful the top left a hole in her ceiling and there were tiny pieces of sports bottle shrapnel everywhere. She's my smart one

3 year old is preparing for his bath. His underwear looks strange but I'm distracted his brother. Kid takes off one pair of underwear, then a 2nd pair, then a 3rd. I ask why he is wearing 3 pairs of underwear. Kid looks at me like I'm an idiot, "Mom told me to put on a clean pair every day".
That nonautistic kid grew up to place the highest in math in our large Midwestern city. But even in his 20's you have to make sure you give clear instructions as he will follow rules to the letter.

Why the use of "nonautistic"? A lot of kids are like this, without being on the spectrum
Monday 2 years ago
Because following instructions too literally is a common thing with autistic kiddos. If they didn't mention it there would likely have been a plethora of comments asking if said kiddo was ever evaluated for being on the spectrum. Also helps us out since this is silly/dumb kid behavior we can laugh at for a neurotypical kid, but something we have to be more mindful of with someone on the spectrum......though realistically it's a funny story either way.

I did. So? It's the greatest of funs to watch your child grow. And to try to explain how the world works. Paradoxes are inevitable. You have to strain your mind to the extreme to explain elementary things. Minds work differently, eggs and six gallons are a good example.

My neurodivergent younger brother is also like this. Specified instructions or he'll follow the message to a T. It's been so bad that some school friends got annoyed at my super-spesific directions because they believed that I thought they were dumb. So I had to explain: "sorry. It's just that I have a brother that needs me to answer like that so it's my defacto way of talking." And him being neurodivergent actually has little to do with this. He knows what we mean. He just think it's funny to take it literally. I know this for a fact. Also, he's doing a bachelor degree in machine engineering. Smart guy, but I still wonder how he got to the conclusion that we've inherited 1/6 of our grandfather. (Regional thing, not international). We argued about it for 2 minutes. Until I said: "look, I would even understand it if you said 1/8, but where in the world did you get 6?" *silence* "and you're studying machine engineering, right?" Him: "....shut up." XD I'm planning to use this and two other stories for his future wedding speech.
Beck 2 years ago
2 grand parents, 2 other grandparents and 2 parents. That is 6. So maybe he meant he is 1/6 his grandfather? Which is not how it works I know. Just trying to figure out his logic.

My dad is a truck driver, so I was the adult male figure in my kid sister's life. One day when she was around 14 or so, I took her to McDonalds for dinner and i asked her what she wanted and she said McNuggets.
I pull up to the speaker and start ordering. "Hello, I'll take an 8 piece McNuggets with a High C."
My sister quickly reminds me tell them no onions.
"I'll also take a Quarter pounder meal with a sprite"
Sister again says "no onions!"
the cashier asked will that complete your order?
sister getting mad, says "no onions!!!"
"Yes, that will be all" I say calmly and I pull forward. My sister is getting really pissed and asked "Why didnt you tell them no onions on mine?!?!?"
I look at her and say just as loudly "ON YOUR CHICKEN NUGGETS!?!?!?"
It dawned on her and she couldn't look up and show her face when I asked the cashier at the window to please make sure there are no onions on her order of McNuggets.

So my mom not wanting to be left out of the conversation says "I may just be an ignorant Protestant". Except she didn't say Protestant. She said Prostitute. LOL! After the laughter had died down my dad decided to get in on the act and he declares "hey, she's not ignorant!". :) All of their friends now call her IP for Ignorant Prostitute.

I don’t think he’s an idiot but I think he lacks common sense because he’ll take a bite of food, it will be scalding hot. He’ll cry and act like he’s dying, but won’t spit it out. He’ll say “Mommy it’s hot!!” And I’ll say “Well I told you to wait for it to cool down,” or “Then blow on it” or something to that effect. He will say no, and then continue taking scalding hot bites and crying that it’s too hot.

I did that in high school. We had pizza. I took a big bite and was instantly scalded. I was gonna spit it out but I didn't have any napkins. Didn't wanna gross everybody out so I ate it. When I finally swallowed it I told my friend that was really hot. He said "Yeah, I figured that when I saw the tears streaming down your face". I burned a huge blister on the roof of my mouth that stayed there for a week. Stupid.

My dad is the total opposite. My entire childhood, and even when visiting home during college vacations, he would always make an announcement when dinner was ready. If we didn't all immediately jump up from whatever we were doing and rush to the kitchen table he would get really frustrated and start yelling at us "DINNER is getting COLD!" What's more, I eat fairly slowly, so he would constantly yell at me to eat faster because "it's not getting any warmer." I'm now forty years old, still eat slowly, and I still have no idea why he's obsessed with hot food or why he thinks the rest of us should care.
David 2 years ago
The easy fix is just don't serve it scalding hot. When the grandkids lived here one of them was sort of like that. So I'd make it a point to dish his food up first and set it to the side as I finished up the other stuff so when I put it on the table he could eat it. He knew to check, he just wasn't patient enough if he checked and it was too hot.

When I was about 6 our neighbors got one of those little plastic kiddy pools for their back yard, and told me I could come over and play in it if I wanted. Day 1, I happily played with their kid for a while, then came back inside. My Mom yelled at me not to come inside dripping wet, but to dry off first. Day 2, I slipped while getting out, and gashed my side open along my lower left rib. It didn't hurt too bad, but it was really bleeding, so I ran back home, but I couldn't go inside because I was still wet, and didn't want to get blood on the towel. Naturally, this happened to be the time my Mom picked to start a load of laundry in the basement, so she couldn't hear me standing at the door yelling for her. When she came upstairs, she explained that there are sometimes exceptions to the rules, and blood pouring down your side is one of them. ( Still have the scar, 50+ years later. )

After waiting 15 min and yelling twice into the men’s dressing room to see if was ok, he admitted he could find the shorts he had worn in. He gave me 3 pairs of the pants and still couldn’t find them. I finally had to go into the stall to look. They were balled up in the leg of one of the pair of pants. It was extremely noticeable. He swore he took his shorts off before trying on any of the pants so he didn’t think to look in them. I was speechless. He’s in the gifted and talented program in our school district.

There is a huge gap between book smart and common sense. Real intelligence is using the information to assemble a rational and logical worldview. This is how we get conspiracy theories. People think they are a genius because they can memorize large amounts of information, and they assemble the information in haphazard and sloppy manner. Memorizing the parts of a motor out of a book is easy. Actually assembling a functional engine is a whole lot harder.

Let me preface this by saying my son is actually brilliant (especially when it comes to computers and music), and I love him more than life itself.
HOWEVER. When he was in 9th grade, reading *A Tale of Two Cities*, he complained to me that he was having a problem with the book because whenever he would pick his book up to continue reading it, he had to figure out where he left off last time. I was like, "If only we had the technology - a way to *mark* the last place we read in a *book* - it would be so much easier!" Then I found an index card for him to use as a bookmark.
In all honesty, I really felt for the poor kid. He was never an enthusiastic reader to begin with. I've always been an avid reader, and even I struggled with Dickens, all the way through college.
