I was looking for a squishmallows plushie for 6-year old, and one of the department store employees (~20&M) points at a pink unicorn one and proudly tells me that he uses one as his sofa pillow, and it is so soft. That moment I felt the world has become a greater place.

Burnnn🔥🔥🔥

If you lie you better stick with it as long as you can.

OP was too young to deal with such sh-, er, pee...

Oh no

Yup. Same thing happened to me in a creepy little cabin on Cape Cod. My mom was furious. Didn’t get the $50 trouble bonus tho.

Just drop some of the tea on him..

Indeed, what a dimwit.

O= WTF

Hmm, really beautiful. She would look great with a pretty hat.

Ew but if it works

I have a sibling, and thankfully if our parents went out we would just watch tv and eat dinner till our parents got home. Only thing is that once my brother made the tv volume at 50, and I have very sensitive hearing, so after I told him he was the biggest a*****e ever and he said to “dEaL wiTh iT” so I told him to deal with this and strangle- punched him. End of story

How did the kid not say anything

That's sad.

When my niece and nephew were young I’d let them have biscuits for breakfast and they’d tell their mum (giggling the whole time) that they had healthy toast and vegetables….lol

Best. Wedding vows. Ever.

Family story has it that my mom couldn't find my older sister when she was about two. She was looking in the kitchen when she heard a giggle and looked up. My sister had climbed to the top of the refrigerator! My mother never did figure out how she managed it.

Whoopsie!

When I was a nanny the 7 year old boy asked me what are those I have there, pointing to my boobs. I told her older girls have those, it's just how we're made. He told me that's not ture, his mom doesn't have them and she's a girl. It was very hard not to laugh. Indeed the women in his family were all slender, on the flat side, and dressed very modestly so with baggy tops a 7 year old didn't notice there was anything going on around their chest.

Im a mom of 3-in no way is this acceptable behavior from children. I know you’re joking but if my children did this to anyone there’d be some serious soul searching on all of our parts. Not acceptable my friend.

Yikes

My husband still haves them. The worst part was that he didn't believe me for years that he sometimes freaked out at night. One time it was so bad, he grabbed me and didn't want to let go (he dreamt about an accident). Doctor's were no help, either (told him to use benzodiazepines; we refused - I doubt I could wake him up then as it was hard enough without any pills). The solution: Smartwatch with sleep tracker and self-programmed app. If his pulse rises, the smartwatch vibrates and wakes him up - not quite, but enough to interrupt him and start the sleep phase over again. To all parents with children experiencing night terrors: f*cking get it checked, get involved and be sensitive to your child! If it manifests itself, it will be a big issue as an adult.

A sweet five-year-old I was watching woke up crying pitifully for her mommy. I simply told her I was waiting, too, and would make sure mom came in and saw her when she got home. This calmed the child down as I sat next to the bed until she was asleep. I was pleased the drama was brief. A child's tears can sure seem desperate! Mom was fine.

I told my son's friend's Mum that my kid had Night Terrors. She heard but did not understand. By the next morning she understood.

My son had night terrors; they are scary as heck until you understand what they are and there's absolutely nothing that will stop them.

Was his name Kevin? If so, there’s a backstory.

Kiddie Slickers. Starring Dr. Heidi Hughes, Billy Crystal, Marv from Home Alone, and 4 little boys.

I suspect they have seen their own kid naked before.

Babysitters should always have full access to fridge and pantry.

Uh, oh!

Every kid knows the principal and teachers live at school

She did want you to drug her child.

Everyone is a critic.

Was it my uncle cause he do that same thing as a child 🤣

The kids do not have the same perception over these things as the adults, so I think it is too much to call him psychopath. When I am thinking that in so many children tales the "bad" guy was decapitated or killed in other weird manner and the "good" guy lived happy ever after and it looked perfectly normal for me as a kid, but not so normal with my adult mind.
