Kids are just the dearest - they are the joy of life that perpetuates our existence. Kids teach us many lessons and revive our love for the world. In short - they are absolutely precious. But so are some of your things in their own right. An eons-old grandad clock, the LCD TV you’ve saved for years to buy, or a piece of jewelry that has been passed on for generations. Of course, their preciousness does not compare to that of a child, but when the two meet, we get a list of the most expensive things children accidentally ruined, as per this AskReddit thread. Prepare to be shook by some of these submissions, for they are quite unbelievable in their scale.

Now, none of these clumsy kids did their deeds on purpose - most of these accidents happened because of their sheer clumsiness. But hey, if your center of gravity were the same spot as a child’s is - right around your head - you’d also be very prone to ruining your stuff. In other cases, these funny kids just wanted to do an experiment or to check how some of these fancy things work. Nothing to blame them for here, as we’d be just as interested in taking a peek at the insides of your limited edition Xbox as they were. And, as you’re about to see, this Reddit thread is brimming with exactly these stories, with the variable being the price and the size of a ruined thing. But hey, before you have kids, you must know that ruining stuff is just one of the things kids do, so guard your possessions as hard as you’d like; some scale of destruction is still inevitable.

So, ready to check out these laugh-out-loud yet dearly expensive mistakes made by kids and documented by their parents? Well, then, scroll on down below and have a look at the submissions! Be sure to give your vote for the most unfortunate expensive things that got ruined by kids and share this article with parents-to-be so they’ll know what they are getting themselves into.

Just moved in and my hubby hadn't had a chance to hook up the speakers to the stereo. Apparently there was a metal thing on a wire attached to them that had some sharp edges. My 3 year old daughter discovered this and carved a design on the side of a cherry end table. When confronted she explained that she wanted to help decorate our new house. I was grateful that she didn't manage to cut herself and 26 years later I still have the table with the carving in my living room.

My hubs smashed the sliding glass door at his grandma’s with a hammer, when he was a child. He needed up installing one for her when he was an adult. Our son shot our brand new tv with a water gun when he was around the same age. I’m still waiting for a new tv, lol

"My eye. When she was 6 months old, she was sitting on my lap and playing with some toys. She suddenly got really excited and flailed her arms up. Her fingernail dug deep into my eye. Three surgeries later, I still can barely see out of that eye, and it's visibly screwed up too (not egregiously, but if you look me in the eye my pupil is clearly more oval than a circle.)

"20 years ago my friend's young son was making puzzles and he cut up his father's original Star Wars a New Hope 1977 poster. His father told me he had to shrug it off because his son didn't know any better. Best punishment served cold - the son is now a young Star Wars fan and he would do anything to own that poster he himself ruined."

My Uncle had a restaurant with a really big fish tank in the entrance and there were steps down into a foyer area. Anyway, they came in one morning and the tank had shattered but there was just enough water trapped because of the step down area but fish were laying on their sides in just enough water to breathe

I did that on a glass topped table. It did not work out well, but I managed to avoid cutting myself so I'd say that's a win.

After seeing a sad story about a penguin having surgery to remove a dime from it's stomach that was probably tossed in to its enclosure, I think we should do away with the tradition of throwing coins/treasure into water for wishes.

Picked it. Spent a few hours and cleaned out the whole farm of ripe (probably only 5%) and developing tomatoes. Easily thousands of tomatoes."

"When I was about 5, I had a fascination with magnets and I had quite a few of them and I played with them a lot. I had heard several times from my parents to not put the magnets on the TV and of course, my 5-year-old brain registered that as definitely put the magnets on the TV. So when they were out of the house I put one on the screen and it became discolored, I thought it was cool and dragged it across the TV some. I quickly found out that the color doesn't come back when you turn the TV on and off. Had to get a new TV and I got in quite a bit of trouble."

"Not ruined exactly but when I was in my teens my boyfriend and I broke into his father's wine cellar and pinched what we thought was the rattiest-looking bottle of wine thinking he would never miss it, turned out to be an incredibly rare, old, expensive vintage that he had been saving since his grandfather gave it to him when he graduated, his grandfather got it from his father, so it had lots of sentimental value as well. I never got over that. We drank it from the bottle out in the woods, what a waste."

Honestly curious as I’ve never had kids… how does a 2- or 3-year-old reach the microwave? How did they go unsupervised long enough to pull over a chair, climb onto it, open and close the microwave, and press beepy buttons?

"My uncle told me a story about my cousin. Apparently, his son wanted to gas up the car for him. But he didn't understand that a garden hose isn't a gas pump. He filled my uncle's gas tank with water till it overflowed."

Thats not the kids fault. The uncle should have been clearer with his kid about how to do something, you can't expect a child to know everything. Learning exists. Teach the damn kid and stop complaining about them not knowing things

"When I was about a year old, we were visiting my great-grandmother. I got a hold of a marker and decided that a little, framed, black-and-white photo needed some color apparently. Completely destroyed the one and only photo of my great grandmother's dead brother who passed away as a child."

"When I was about 6, I tried to make my parents breakfast in bed and broke the espresso maker. It was a really nice Italian one that they received as a wedding gift and could never afford to replace."

"When I was a kid I tried to make grilled cheese on toast after school. So I turned the oven on and then completely forgot about it. Turns out, my mum used to hide her family heirloom jewelry in the oven because 'it was the last place anyone other than her would look'. I grilled the lot."

If it's real gold and gems, what harm would this do? The temperature in an oven is 240 degrees at most. The melting point of gold must be higher than that.

"I wanted to make some tea for my mother, so I went to turn on the electric kettle. Me, being the little retard I am, thought that meant to put that kettle on top of the fire, not on the base. Because, you know, kettle + fire = hot water, right?"

Curious that BP censors the most innocuous terms, but an ableist slur like r****d is allowed to stand
