We all want to think we have the smartest kid around, although obviously that can only be true for some of us. That said, we do prefer our smartypants kids put their genius to use for good and not evil whenever possible.

Some of these kids came up with super good ideas that were useful, while others used their noggins to get one over on their parents – so you decide whether or not those smarts are really worth it.

10. They must eat Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

That milk is the reason to pick that cereal, honestly.

7. This kid is evil.

A genius, sure, but definitely off to be a supervillain.

This girl is definitely NOT going places, but that’s the way she likes it.

She really sees the world the way it is – through the eyes of a young child.

Points for trying, though.
