35 Of The Funniest Dumb Things Kids Have Innocently Done
Children’s minds are incredible. Those little sponges are constantly soaking up information and knowledge as their understanding of the world deepens by the day. What I wouldn’t give to have a childlike sense of wonder again and an imagination that could keep me entertained for weeks on end. Observing kids’ infinite supply of creativity is a beautiful thing, but along with that shameless curiosity comes a few downsides. One of which being how they innocently do and say the stupidest things imaginable.
From putting food under their beds to trying to wrap their minds around how babies are made, we’ve gathered some of the funniest posts from the “Look How Stupid These Kids Are” subreddit proving that the logic of a child does not always hold up in the real world. Enjoy reading these stories and reminiscing on when you were a kid without a care in the world, going about your day totally ignorant to your stupidity. Keep reading to also find an interview with Melissa Wilson, mom and co-host of The Juggling Act podcast. Be sure to upvote all of your favorite posts, and then if you want to read about even more dumb things kids have done, check out Bored Panda’s last article on the same topic right here.

What do you think ?

I heard this story about a woman who went to an English speaking doctor, though she didn't know much English herself. They were able to communicate enough for the doctor to understand she was having stomach pains. They did test after test on this woman, and finally via a translator heard her describe the pain as 'the bird inside her stomach was pecking her'. Nobody knew what that meant, and since none of the tests were showing that anything was wrong, they finally called in a shrink. It turned out, when the woman was little, her uncle had told her a bird lived in her stomach, and that whenever she was hungry, the bird would peck her, and that's where hunger pain came from. So, the woman was hungry, she just didn't understand what was going on with her body. She ended up needing psychological treatment to help her sort it out. And that's why you shouldn't tease children with silly made-up nonsense about how things work.

When i was younger, my parent, grandparents, uncle, aunt, sibling and I were in my grandparents basement kinda chillin' and my uncle came downstairs to give us some chocolate covered orange slices and I said "No i don't want any!" And my aunt asked why and I replied with, "oranges are spicy have you ever seen a crab"
Sleepy_Child 4 years ago
Lol that sounds like something I might've said. But do you know what oranges, spiciness, and crabs have in common with each other? I kind of want to know why you thought that
