Some time ago, we were all tiny versions of ourselves with heads full of the most insane ideas and thoughts about the world above and beneath us. Fast forward to today, and some may be raising kids of their own, while others are sharing homes with little brothers or sisters. The fun part about it is that it never gets boring.
Because kids are goofy, silly, cute, and totally clueless about this whole thing called Earth that we live on. Out of sincere curiosity and hunger to get to know things, they come up with the funniest things you’d never read in books.
From searching for tiny seashells that are in fact just pistachio shells washed ashore, to making more money out of a $1 bill by cutting it into pieces, the list goes on. Bored Panda compiled pictures of some of the funniest incidents that only little ones can get themselves into. Psst! More of the same goofy kids just being kids wait in our previous articles here, here, and here.

Kid Thinks His Mom Is A Murderer
To find out how children think and come up with the most incredible things we as adults would never think of, one has to look into the world from a child’s point of view. And it turns out, this is very different from the ways adults view the world around them.
One of the driving forces in a child’s development is curiosity, which helps them to discover and try out new things and learn something about them. This early knowledge is something kids carry well into their childhood and maturity.
Bored Panda reached out to Brenna Hassinger-Das, an assistant professor in the psychology department at Pace University, New York. Brenna explained that the job of children is “to play and learn.” But making ourselves time to be curious in whatever forms we can is something that adults should also work on throughout their lives.
“Research suggests that it relates to satisfaction, happiness, empathy, and problem-solving skills,” the professor said and added, “we are always in need of refining the ways in which we view the world.”

Brenna said that research has shown that curiosity not only relates to academic skills, like improved reading and math, but also “fosters imagination and exploration.”
“Parents can nurture curiosity in a lot of different ways. For instance, encouraging children to take part in free or unstructured play allows them to figure out how things work and develop their own storylines and directions for their play.”
The professor also said that it’s important to “encourage children to ask questions (and then answer them in a developmentally appropriate way) and to let children follow their interests. For example, “If your child loves animals, go for a nature walk where you live (whether in a city or in a more rural area) and point out all the animals you see. You could also read books about the animals they like and perhaps venture out a bit further for a hike.”
It turns out that fostering curiosity early could also have the added benefit of helping your child develop a habit that will continue into adulthood. “We know that curiosity is still important for learning and overall life satisfaction,” Brenna concluded.

My daughter does the same. I tell her every night she should close her eyes to fall asleep easily, but she won' t do that, because: "I wouldn't see anything that way!" Well, that' s the point...

When I was about 10, I fainted in a choir because I was locking my knees. I then figured that was the most efficient way to fall asleep. Any time I couldn't sleep, I would stand by my bed with my knees locked and sing When the Lion Sleep Tonight (what we were singing when it happened). It never worked, but I didn't give up.

When I was six, and I am not sure how or why but, the subject of genitals and their proper names was raised, and my religious nut job grandmother (father's mother) told me "that is your Christmas Cupcake and you save that and only give it to the man you marry on the day you marry. That is for him and no one else." My mother was shocked at this response and told me to leave the room and we would talk later. We never talked and this became very evident, when about six months later, we were at the wedding of my dad's brother and the church got quiet because of prayer and I asked my mother, I thought I was whispering and she swears I wasn't, "IS THIS WHEN SHE GIVES HIM HER CHRISTMAS CUPCAKE?" and stood on the pew and pointing to my crotch, you know, in case she didn't understand the meaning.

When I was a kid, I got quite good at riding my bike "no hands". So good in fact, I could go through minor pot holes. Then one day I decided to turn it up a notch and ride "no hands" onto a curb... The tooth fairy came to visit that night is all I can say of the outcome.

We rented summer cottage near friends and in a week they started to look strange at me. Took me a while to figure out that my 3 years old son was training his imagination with them. So I learned that: Last summer we lived in other house - oh, with another daddy. I am feeding my kids with porridge only, they can't eat, crying, but no chance to get smth else. His grandfather was great Chinese guitarist. He and 7 his brothers died during WW2, etc. Oh, my! )))

Long before the time of daycare, mom would take me, bro and sis to the zoo. It was free then and we would spend all day, a lot of days, long before we were of school age. After looking at a lot of animals, I asked when I would get my antlers. Never put it together that my parents did not have antlers, just saw that older large animals had horns or antlers. It was a sad day to be told I would not be growing antlers. Darn!

When my son & I were driving around town in our low cost convertible I spotted a Ferarri coming up behind us. As it got close I pointed it out to my son just as it was passing us. He unbuckled his seat belt & lifted himself above our windshield to which I asked him, "What are you doing?" He replied, "I'm breathing Ferarri exhaust Dad." Well, if you're gonna breathe it, might as well go for the best. :)
