Kids get up to funny, insightful, and surprising things on a regular basis. They’re curious, they’re experimenting, and yes, they can often seem to have a death wish – but as a parent, some of those candid pictures are the best memories we’re gonna get of what it was really like to live with littles.
Thank goodness for camera phones!
These 12 parents pulled off some pretty perfect shots, too – it pays to be in the right place at the right time!

1. Raising those little nerds right, I see!
I love watching and listening to my kids when they don’t know I’m there. Sure, it’s a little creepy, but it’s where I hear all of the best material.
What’s the cutest/funniest thing you’ve ever caught your kiddos doing when they thought you weren’t looking?
I’m sure you’ve got some good stories to share in the comments!
