15+ Times Kids Proved They’re the Ultimate Chaos Creators

Life with kids is never boring. One day you’re calmly sipping your coffee, the next you’re fishing a potato out of your toddler’s bed or trying to explain why the cat shouldn’t be rainbow-colored. These stories from parents prove that raising children is a daily adventure — and sometimes, the funniest surprises come when you least expect them.

“I can’t see anything!”

“My daughter said she could put her own ketchup on her plate.”

“My 8-year-old daughter trolling me”

“I found where my 3-year-old twins have been hiding my loose change.”

“My son scares himself when he puts on this mask.”

“Left my teenage son with the pizza.”

“Son was being too quiet last night, so I went to check on him and found this masterpiece made out of baby powder on the floor.”

“My 3-year-old son decided to microwave our 3DS.”

“We were planning on selling our set of 2 barstools that are no longer in use... Thanks 4-year-old niece who was ‘bored’.”

“My kids did my makeup. My son (10) was art inspired. My daughter (12) was going for classic, and I was actually really impressed by what she did.”

“I had the shower door wedged open with a broom. Daughter tried to close the shower door. Oops.”

“Life before and after kids. As demonstrated by my toddler’s well-loved Ducky and new backup Ducky”

Bonus: Being a great parent is a task with many unknowns.

• The other day, I told my 4-year-old to play quietly while I took an important work call. Ten minutes in, I hear a whisper outside my door:
  “Mom, I’m being quiet, but I need to tell you that I accidentally painted the cat.”
  I opened the door to find our white cat now looking like a rainbow, with a very proud toddler beside him holding a set of washable markers.
• I was changing my toddler’s sheets when I found a whole, raw potato tucked under her pillow. When I asked why, she said, completely seriously,
  “It’s for the potato fairy, so she can bring me French fries in the morning.”
  Honestly, I can’t even argue with that logic.
• Our daughter, 5, hates changing her socks. She would wear the same pair for three days straight if we let her. One morning, she comes to me with a serious face: “Mom, I need new socks.”
  I was shocked, “Oh? Why now?” She replies, “I told my friend at kindergarten that I’m Spider-Man, but she said Spider-Man doesn’t have stinky socks.” Peer pressure can be useful, apparently.

No matter how chaotic or messy these moments get, they’re the ones we’ll remember and laugh about for years. Life with kids isn’t always easy, but it’s rarely dull — and honestly, that’s the best part.
