Amusement rides are fun because of the thrill and adrenaline rush they give us. The whole experience can give you highs and lows, and there are a lot of unexpected twists waiting around the corner. Which is basically what life with kids is like — you’ll never know what you’re in for. And just like roller coasters, they can make you laugh, cry, feel scared, and amused, all at the same time.
Now I’ve Seen Everything rounded up 20 photos proving that kids have the power to make adults feel an entire spectrum of emotions.

2. “My daughter’s preschool had a costume party. She was the garbage truck.”
