Silly is a fine thing to be, especially if your age is still in the single digits. Most of these kiddos, though, thought they were being super sneaky and/or smart, though their parents had their number the entire time.

If you ask me, moments like these are some of the best parts of parenting.

12. Hey, teachers deserve a good laugh, too.

More than most, actually.

11. They are sort of magical.

See one again through new eyes.

10. Not everyone is a poet, y’all.

Some are artists!

9. I would have loved to go to China.

Especially for Chinese food.

8. Nobody wants war.

But the parents might have some tricks up their sleeves, too.

7. Because that’s what you want to see when you come home.

I’m dying.

6. They can’t all be geniuses.

Some of us are funny.

5. I mean these are all legit queries.

When you need to know, you need to know.

4. What did her mother think??

I must know.

3. This is some star parenting right here.

I’m in awe.

2. Just one.

But still. Win.

1. Ah, the trials of youth.

“Never again!” Ha!

As long as no one gets hurt, making fun of a kid for being an idiot is just a breath of fresh air!
