15 Kids Who Make Us A Little Bit Worried About The Future

We all know that kids are the future. But most of us also know that a lot of kids don't quite develop enough brain cells until they hit adulthood to be trusted with even just their present.

These kids may not be making the best decisions in the world, but who knows? They could be the president some day!

And we'll need all the help we can get.

Never say they don't follow through.

When you're a kid, you don't always have a lot of leverage when you are in a disagreement with your parents. Somehow I don't think the threat of sleeping on the floor adds to that leverage.

This is what getting any bill in the mail feels like.

I have to say, $15 for stick removal is pretty steep, but $15 for stick protection might just be worth it.

Stealth check: 0.

I have to say, this is a pretty clever way to go about trying to get information you want. The execution didn't quite stick, but the planning was there.

The birds, the bees, and the peanut butter?

Sometimes all you can do is wonder just where kids are getting their information. I'd love to follow the thought process of this one.

Where all the cool kids hang out.

I can almost see the appeal in hanging out in the drier. She better enjoy it while it lasts because once you get older your back is NOT letting you sit like that.

"Mom, there's green goo coming out of my waffle!"

I can see how a kid might think their waffle contained an alien life form, and I can also see how they didn't realie they were about to melt that tray. I've had college roommates do the same thing.

The Father, The Son, and the Ogre Spirit.

I may not be a bible expert, but I'm pretty sure that Shrek doesn't make an appearance in there. Thou shalt not enter my swamp!

This is a tough pill to swallow.

Wait until this kid finds out about grandparents and teachers, too. The world is rough out there and filled with a lot of harsh truths.

They're so much cuter before they learn to move around.

I find it annoying enough when my cat gets into things he's not supposed to. I don't know how I'd handle it if it was a toddler with opposable thumbs.

"My son is upset because we won't feed him dog food."

Hey, I can't blame this kid. That can makes it look pretty appetizing. Like a really hearty stew.

No? Just me? Alright then.

Every future hairdresser has to start somewhere.

I know the pain of trying to cut your own bangs and getting a lot choppier of a style than you were originally going for.

Unfortunately for this kid, the growing out process is going to be tough.

My cat does this too.

Ahh, nothing like a kid getting in your space and then getting mad at you for it for you to remember just how nice it was when you were the only one in the house.

Perhaps not a future world champion hide and seek player.

This kid is operating on the age old logic of "if I can't see you, you can't see me," which is something I still try when my partner gets mad at me for leaving my dishes in the sink.

Roomba: 1. Kids: 0.

I know it's pretty easy as a kid to get your hair caught in tons of places — backpack zippers, your coat, in a hair elastic. The Roomba is a new one to me. It almost feels like you'd have to have done it on purpose.

Well? Is it?

As a younger sibling, I can confirm that for older siblings there is nothing more fun than just straight up lying to them. No wonder so many of us have trust issues!
