Parents Are Sharing The Weird Things They Caught Their Kids Doing

There's never a dull day for parents!

Some days, kids might bring ridiculous items to show and tell at school behind parents' backs. Other days, they may be perfect angels, which is suspicious in and of itself.

And then, there are the times parents turn their backs for one second and catch utter chaos! Here, parents share the weirdest things they caught their kiddos doing!

Feeding alligators.

When this Redditor's son was three years old, they noticed the smell of burnt plastic coming from their heater vents.

After an investigation, they caught their son bringing his toys to the vents. The bizarre reason why? He wanted to feed the "alligators down there" so they wouldn't eat his sister.

Licking the floor.

"He seemed really into it," this Redditor wrote. Another shared that their kid licks the chairs in church...

Now we understand why kids have insanely good immune systems. They're so used to eating bacteria, bugs, and who knows what else!

Doing the "cumin" challenge.

"Few years ago the 'cinnamon challenge' was a thing. Walked in the door to my son with his head under the kitchen faucet gulping and spitting water. He accidentally grabbed the cumin instead of the cinnamon." - u/DobbyIsMyHero

Washing eyebrows.

"When my son was about 3 years old, he liked to wash his eyebrows with my facial cleanser. Just the eyebrows. Wet, lather, rinse, repeat. He said it made them nice and soft." - u/darkpixie1

Playing with pee.

This Redditor once caught their 10-year-old daughter playing with a bag with yellowish liquid inside when she was 10.

When they asked her what it was, she said it was her own pee. Don't kids play with dolls anymore?!

Making a dog anthem.

"My boys share a room. They were about 2 and 7 at the time and I walked in their room and found them rocking on their hands and knees singing "we aaaaaaareeeee the weeeeeeeeeeeeiner doooogs". I have no [expletive] idea." -u/NinaBanina22

Playing with the plunger.

"When my brother-in-law was three he was so obsessed with the toilet plunger they had to buy him his own so he’d stop grabbing the used one. It was his best friend." - u/LaurenLumos

Sticking peas where they don't belong.

This Redditor found their child packing peas from the garden up their nose! This required a trip to the local hospital emergency room where everyone (the doctor included) couldn't help but crack up.

Packing turds.

"Packing turds into cardboard tubes with toilet paper and hiding em under the sink. She called them 'poop bombs.' there was like 10 of em under there." - u/quiveringmass. We. Are. Horrifed!

Making doo-doo.

"A little girl I was babysitting was slowly stirring her bowl of chocolate ice cream into mush. I asked her what she was doing, and she replied very seriously 'I’m making poo-poo for God to put in people’s bottoms.'" - u/WendyWindfall

Licking their toe.

This Redditor catching their son licking their toe was weird enough without what happened next.

When they asked their child what they were doing, they said, “time traveling.” Ah, kids and their imagination.

Cleaning the windows.

"I woke up to my five year old spraying windex on the window beside my bed, cleaning it thoroughly, then nodding at me and moving on to cleaning the windows in the next room. I still don’t know what the hell was happening." - u/Compulsive-Gremlin

Math.

We don't like doing math ever, let alone during schooltime. That's not the case with this Redditor's son who they caught their doing multi-factoring math in their free time.

"Completely caught me by surprise," they wrote.

Making a pee hat.

"My brother decided he wanted a pee hat, which is literally what it sounds like, a hat he could pee in during the night. While already a stupid idea (since he didn’t empty it), he chose a plastic hat with hole in it." - u/jaymasters1123

Brushing their teeth.

"Just today I was in the garage and she came out, instantly grabbed a toothbrush I use to clean car parts and stuck it in her mouth. I don't even know anymore." -u/Gtrinker

Talking to the sink.

According to this Redditor's son, the hole in the sink was where "God lives."

If that's the case, no wonder our prayers to be mega-rich and married to Henry Cavill haven't panned out yet. We've been talking to Him in the wrong place!

Having a measuring contest.

"I caught my twins in first grade measuring each other’s penises with a tape measure they got to measure their heads in first grade for bike helmets." -u/thecrankymommy. Sad thing is, we still know guys like this.

Talking to the lightbulbs.

"When my son was about 4 he was playing in his playroom. I was on the couch and heard some sounds behind me (it was just us). So I turn and see my son looking up at the light fixtures and whispering. I ask what hes doing. His response: I'm asking all the lightbulbs in the house to not fall and kill you." -deleted

Coating themselves in calamine lotion.

"I found my son and his cousin absolutely coated in calamine lotion. They’d obviously found it, being 4 and 6 years old, they decided to do a bit of finger painting with it. I get that, but I don’t entirely understand why his pants were off. Yes, his penis had calamine on it too." - u/InadmissibleHug
