20 Times Toddlers Hilariously Tested Their Parents

There are few things as rewarding in this life as the act of raising a child...well, so I have been informed. However, there are some parents out there who love nothing more than sharing the weirdest and most stressful things that their children have suddenly decided to do.

So, from kids who tried to publicly execute pigeons to toddlers who had no concept of personal space, here are 20 times toddlers hilariously tested their parents!

How Times Change...

The backstory for these pictures according to the person who posted this was:

"Thinking of having a baby? On the left is a picture of my Nonna enjoying Venice before she had kids. On the right is a picture in the same location a few years later where she is desperately trying to stop my toddler-aged father from publicly executing a pigeon."

"My toddler found a white ink pad and immediately turned into Saruman."

I am amazed that there is not more ink around the place if I am honest. I would have expected for that toddler to have gone bananas with the ink, and yet here they seem to have shown remarkable restraint!

It Burns!

"My toddler daughter rode on my shoulders and touched my face during our last hike, grabbing random leaves as we went along... I'm highly allergic to poison ivy," explained this poor, itchy parent. Christ alive that looks so unbelievably uncomfortable.

"Someone in my house took a chunk out of the cooling cake. My toddler has no idea who did it."

Well there is no concrete evidence to suggest that this crime was perpetrated by a small person! Although, their father could have placed the chair there in some kind of attempt to frame their child! By God, this has gotten Shakespearian.

"Parenting."

A lot of clearly experienced parents endorsed this neat trick, with one of them writing, "Sometimes it's about finding that sweet spot where they are content for 5 min and you can relax, even if it means hiding in a play pen."

"Trying on clothes with a toddler in a nutshell."

This looks like something that was cut out of Alien, a truly unsettling image as a whole. One other individual did suggest, "Dutch oven their ass. They'll never do this again. Also will learn a useful skill for later relationships."

"This toddler loves the ads for a local personal injury lawyer so much, his mom made it his birthday party theme."

I absolutely love the idea of this kid's parents having to go to a bakery and explaining that they want this guy's face on a cake. I do not know why that makes me laugh so much but it absolutely kills.

"An officer saw a toddler driving his truck, pull him over & gave him his first ticket."

Looks like this kid was driving under the influence of too many juice boxes and sugary sweets. I also love how the dog in the backseat is squaring up to the officer, as though the dog is the kid's enforcer.

"The first time my son has been in a toy store since the pandemic hit last year. Rioted like it was toilet paper."

Wow, he really does have that wild eyed expression that people get when they're frantically trying to fight others for toilet paper for no other reason than the media told them to. I wonder how many toys this kid made it out with.

"My daughter made a list of the things I asked her to do today..."

And as you can imagine, their daughter did not censor her own note. Nothing like hearing kids swear to send fear down their parent's spines. This person did also add, "To clarify: the [expletive] box is the cats litter box. We do not [poop] in boxes in our house."

"Forgot to bring my sunglasses to work. Only pair I had in my car were my toddler's."

I think that he is rocking these sunglasses pretty well actually. In fact, I am starting to doubt that they even have a child. I reckon they are just using this fake child as an excuse to wear these adorable sunglasses!

The Stuff Of Nightmares!

"Our AirBnB had a translucent bathroom door. I’m used to my impatient toddler stalking me through the bathroom door, but this took it to a much creepier level," wrote the person who posted this. I could not be handling that when I was using the toilet.

"My daughter, where's the rest of her?! Ohh I see, do you?"

I will admit that I did spend a good while there thinking that this poor person's daughter was being sucked into another dimension. I hate it when that happens, you're just strolling along and suddenly reality folds in on itself and you're in a universe where grapes taste like coconuts.

"Watching a toddler learn is fantastic."

In fairness, I have seen people who are fully grown adults do this before, and it is never not funny. I like the idea that this kid's parents saw that this was about to happen but decided just to let nature takes its course.

"Life with a toddler."

I wonder if they ever managed to find one that they actually liked? I am also quite impressed that this child didn't leave any fingerprints jammed into the icing and nor did they just throw the ones they didn't like on the floor.

"My son teased his sister and she threw a Switch controller at my parent's 75" TV."

That is not going to be a quick fix. You can kind of tell how annoyed this parent still is about this by the fact that they use the terms "My son" for their son and "their sister" for their daughter.

"Father's Day gift from daughter. I must say I AM a great pillow layer."

I do not think that anyone has ever said anything as nice to me as, "You are as handsome as a flower." What a genuinely beautiful thing to say, topped off by saying that he is smart enough to eat chips...the dream.

I Can Hear This Picture...

"Parenting - when you are constantly preventing your kid from doing dangerous things (like sticking their fingers in a floor electrical outlet). This toddler had a full blown meltdown about it while her dad continued his conversation, put his foot over the outlet, and didn't skip a single beat," wrote the person who posted this.

"What the hell is even the point of a note like this!"

And the person who posted this went on to say that it was no small scratch, writing, "Gouged the plastic pretty decently, scuffed the paint in another spot, and was hard enough to knock some of the bumper off the clips around the wheel well."

"My neighbor's toddler was a little too quiet."

What this person is also not telling you is that their neighbour's toddler is actually half-human and half-caterpillar. Either that or they just really, really enjoy making biodegradable confetti! This is much better than kids burning things with a magnifying glass as well I guess.
