40+ Hilarious Kids That Are Too Smart for Their Own Good

There are a lot of art projects that kids get to do. Drawing is a particular favorite with kids of all ages. It’s a great way to get them to show you their thoughts and feelings, while also letting them explore their creativity.

This mom wasn’t talking about an art project, though. But, the kid did exactly what their mother asked them to do in the most hilariously literal way possible.

When you get home from work, you typically want a nice hot meal and to relax. Hopefully, your family will help you out and leave a plate ready for you. We hope that this kid was just trying to do a nice thing.

We hope that was what they were doing, and the parent just took it the wrong way. Since this was posted on r/slightlyinfuriated, we don’t think the parent quite appreciated the joking effort.

As kids, we were always given a task that we just didn’t want to do, and this kid found a way to get one over on their parents. This is a sure sign of rebellion and a healthy dose of sarcasm on the kid’s part.

We guess after so many times of being told to hang up the phone — they just thought they would follow through on that.

Many parents install nanny cams in their kids’ bedrooms, allowing them to see everything and ensuring their kids are always safe. When they’re toddlers, it’s easy to use this equipment, but as they get older, they start to understand what is happening.

This kid must have gotten to the age that he realized what was going on and thought he would make his parents a little scared. We happen to think it was a good one.

Certain holidays are special to the parent-child relationship; one of those is Mother’s Day. Often kids try to make their own cards as a way to show their moms how much they love them. If the DIYer is a funny kid, this is what you get.

Though when they said funny, we’re not sure that this is what her mother thought she would get. We appreciate the sentiment but think someone should have probably monitored the child.

Kids are almost always hungrier in their eyes than in their stomachs. The problem is, that you never know if that’s going to be the case early enough to avoid food waste. This kid wanted a peanut butter and jelly sandwich like many kids do.

It seems that all they really wanted was a quarter of one single slice of bread. That being said, at least they were considerate and ate something. However, they could at least have eaten one quarter. That would have been less silly.

Many homes are run by Google Assistant or other smart home devices. This allows people to control things when not even home and check up on things to ensure their family is safe and sound.

But, if you leave it lying around, you just might find that someone wants to mess with you. This kid has a pretty good sense of humor. It’s subtle but funny.

There are a lot of projects that happen at school. When you’re young, a lot of them have to do with answering questions about their families. This helps build vocabulary and helps them learn sentence structure.

This kid was actually pretty nice when it came to the sentence, but the drawing, on the other hand, might not feel as flattering to this dad. It seems he thinks his dad could stand to lose a little weight.

When you are a kid, one of the year’s best days is your birthday. For some, the best things are the gifts, but for others, it’s all about that cake. This day is about you, and we can see why this kid found it unacceptable to share his day — not even with his own dad!

But, we think he went a little far; after all, it wasn’t like the person was a stranger. It was his dad. He could have been okay with it, we think. Either way, the outrageously different cakes are absolutely hilarious to us!

Some kids just love a good prank. Sometimes, they’re pretty tame, but other times, they are actively intended to be scary. Though kids often fail at this, this one seems to hit the nail on the head.

We would have really jumped when we turned this light on. As outsiders, we think this was a really good prank. This kid definitely has a spooky future in haunted houses.

It’s always good to have grocery lists handy, so everyone can add what they want. This way, everyone is happy, and you don’t have to deal with temper tantrums because you forgot their favorite lunch meat.

This kid, though, didn’t take this thing too seriously. We wonder where one is to get that Boom Shakka Lakka… It can’t possibly be found at the local grocery store, can it!?

Labeling things can be a good way to keep everything organized. There are many ways to do that, and one of the most popular is chalkboard signs. These signs make it easy for people in the house to be a little sassy.

This kid wanted to make a statement and make a statement they did. After they ate the very last cookie, they decided that the jar must be re-labeled! They’re not wrong — there is nothing but crumbs in the jar now!

Sometimes, the funniest things are also the silliest. We’ve all heard about the eyes on potatoes, but this kid took it to new levels. We’re not sure this is as silly as some of the other stories, but it definitely gave us all a little laugh.

We think this kid has a pretty good sense of humor. Although, it would be a little shocking to pull a potato out of the cabinet and see it looking back at us.

We love parents who manage to be both friends and mentors to their kids. It allows the kids to let out their mischievous side in a fun and non-judgmental environment. They might even feel comfortable sharing that family silliness with their whole class.

We do think his dad probably wished his kid had chosen another picture — at least a more flattering one. After all, you are dealing with elementary kids. This mug probably came with a ton of jokes.

Kids see the world differently than adults; this also goes for how they see their parents. This kid was just sharing their perspective of what their parents look like. It might be a little hurtful, but they see it how they see it.

We just wonder why they think their dad looks like Slimer from Ghostbusters. Clearly, their mom is very attractive, though. How did their dad get her!?

As a kid goes further and further in school, each subject gets harder and harder. For example, math starts from just numbers and simple addition to more complicated word problems, which can be very challenging for many kids.

This kid wasn’t having it and came up with a pretty good answer. Even if it was wrong, it was still pretty funny, and that should get them at least a few bonus points.

Being able to have solutions for problems that may come up in the future can be a great asset to have. There are many adults that don’t have that, so it’s important to start early and teach kids how to think outside the box.

This hypothetical question is clearly used to get kids to think deeply about what they actually need in life. This kid, though, decided that this was a chance to display some creative thinking. Talk about being able to really hone in on the problem and find a solution.

It’s always good to teach kids life lessons that show them the difference between right and wrong. These kids’ parents clearly are teaching them the right way to think about things. It’s also pretty hilarious as it wasn’t even the right answer, but they still decided they were going for it.

That being said, we’re sure that the teacher appreciated what they said. Though it might have been brought up at a teacher-parent conference, it probably wasn’t as big a deal as you think it is.

Spelling for some people can be pretty tricky. Usually, in elementary school, you begin to learn new words, so there are a lot of vocabulary tests. This test is kind of interesting because it leaves the answer up to the individual.

That being said, at least this kid can spell ten words. One of them is a little out of the left field, but it shows that maybe they have a good head on their shoulder for vocabulary.

The thing is that kids pick up on words and attitudes from their parents and the people that are around them. That means if you’re not careful, things you say at home could find their way into the classroom.

Perhaps the words you say should be used with caution, and though it’s not really accurate, it is very funny. Then again, maybe he’s got the definition right, just the wrong situation!

Sometimes, when you ask kids things you wouldn’t think they would have a good answer for, they end up with some of the best answers. This kid was asked a simple question, and he’s clearly been taught the right thing.

It seems that young Ricky learned early on a valuable lesson that some people don’t learn way into their adulthood. We see a bright future for him as a happily-married, marriage counselor!

When dealing with things, kids don’t always understand the nuances of what’s happening. That’s why sometimes they come up with the simplest answers. Even if they’re wrong, they could still be quite funny.

Unfortunately, we’re pretty sure that he didn’t get any points for this creative answer. To be fair, though, if this was for an English class rather than mathematics, he would have passed with flying colors!

Seeing things in black and white can be very beneficial. As a child, often that’s how you see things: gray areas really don’t exist. This kid is simply stating a true fact, even if it is a pretty funny way of doing it.

We certainly hope that his parents and teacher appreciated this. It’s accurate, and that’s what counts! That being said, it is also a little bit morbid, and maybe that’s the thing that most people should really worry about.

This kid may not understand the assignment, but they definitely get an “A” from us for sarcasm. The truth is they aren’t technically wrong — that’s what makes this so fun. Even with that, though, they probably need to be talked to.

We wonder which parent they got their sarcasm from… Either parent should be ashamed and a little proud of how their kid ended up.

When you’re a kid, you are going to go through a lot of different dream jobs. This is normal and should be encouraged. However, this kid’s dream might be the only one we think someone should question.

Though we can understand why he might want to live like this, it’s just not realistic. We think it is just a phase, and he will grow out of it, or at least we hope so.

There are a lot of words in the English language that are used for multiple things. We think this kid should be given a little leeway — after all, that is technically a plant in a cell. Plus, it’s a pretty good drawing, too.

We would have laughed a lot if this test came across our desk. Honestly, we might have given them half credit. Or at least handed it over to the art teacher.

There’s nothing wrong with trying to have extended life goals. But, goals as a kid usually stop at nine or ten as that’s as far ahead in the future as they can see. But, this test asks some surprisingly deep questions.

We clearly know what type of television this person watches as their life goal is very evident. It’s not a bad plan, though we’re not sure how realistic it is!

Sometimes, kids come up with answers to a test, especially when it’s so broad like this one. The funny thing is that the answer is correct in some aspects. We just know that they must have heard this somewhere at home.

That being said, it is hilarious, and we agree with them. Mariah Carey may have possibly been the high-end frequency noise anyone can actually ever hear.

Some schools actually teach journaling, and one of the ways they do that is by giving their kids prompts. These prompts are usually questions that they are intended to answer, and a lot of the time, it has to do with their everyday life.

We love this kid’s newly-founded measurement system! Clearly, in this fantastic system, every adult is obviously six, and everyone weighs just a few dollars. Who needs anything more?

Sometimes being a parent is kind of a thankless job, many people believe. But, the truth is that many kids really respect their parents and know what they’ve done for them. Though a little mature for his age, this kid clearly knows what’s up.

That being said, this is hilarious because not every 11-year-old understands these concepts and relays them so well. We just hope Jonny’s mom isn’t too upset that she’s no longer allowed to joke or dance…

Many report cards not only deal with the subject’s grades but also the individual’s social dynamics. This allows teachers to comment on how they are socially adjusting so parents can help address any issues.

This kid, though, has a perfect answer to what the notes on the report card said. Though it does seem a little mean, we’re sure that not all his friends aren’t that intelligent.

Even as kids, many pay attention to how much they weigh. But, sometimes, they don’t take it as seriously as we as adults do. This kid has a great sense of humor, and we hope he keeps it well into his adult life.

The response to his weight is quite funny, and we appreciate that he loves a good nacho. This allows him to be very comfortable with his body.

When kids get in trouble, the last thing they want is their teachers calling their parents. Many beg and plead for them not to do this and hope they can find some way to resolve the issue.

But, this kid isn’t begging because he’s worried that he’s going to get in trouble; he’s simply telling the truth. This kid clearly isn’t worried in the slightest about his mom knowing what he did.

There are a lot of things that kids learn at school. One of the best things when it comes to being a parent is asking about their kid’s day when they get home. When they’re younger, a lot of the time, this becomes a huge story and quite entertaining.

Apparently, this kid learned about Dragons and really didn’t pay attention to anything else. That statement alone is hilarious and shows how smart this young kid is.

Often, when there is a devoted sports fan in the family, the kids pick up the love for that team. This, of course, can be very troubling when they meet someone who is not a fan of that team but rather of the opposition.

This kid is on point when she starts talking about the team. The fact she is so matter-of-fact makes this hilarious and almost makes it seem like she’s a small adult. Also, we can’t help but laugh due to her dig at her dad’s job.

Just like with their parents, sometimes kids pick up things from their parents’ television. This can be really cute sometimes and very awkward at other times. This time happened to be way more awkward than funny for the parent, at least.

Though it probably wasn’t very funny for the parents, it is hilarious to us, and we know that anybody else in the room probably felt the same way.

As a kid, when you don’t know how something works, you create a plausible solution that makes sense to you. This kid had a point. He didn’t understand why he couldn’t utilize his lunch meat to learn the whole story.

We just hope that somebody paid attention because if he already had this inclination, when they turned their back, we’re sure it must have happened. That being said, it must have been quite hilarious to actually try this!

Kids don’t understand everything that goes on, and things like a book signing aren’t really something they need to do. But, this kid was quite interested in deciding they wanted to step forward and make some comments.

What’s more hilarious is that the kid was asking if the author wanted to sign their book. We hope that this author found it as adorable as we did!

Sometimes, kids get crazy things in their heads when it comes to what the expectations of being an adult are. This kid clearly has something about baking, making it so that they feel they can’t grow up.

But, that’s not completely accurate, so we hope someone had a conversation with her about what being an adult was really about. Other than that, though, this is quite funny!

There were movies that kids all across the world loved, and one of those was Toy Story. This movie really brings the imagination to life, but sometimes it can confuse a kid. This kid seems to think he had the right answer all along.

That being said, it is quite funny that he voiced this opinion out loud like this. This is one of those moments to remember and tell stories about. In fact, we’re so sure that this story is told all the time that the kid probably grew very tired of it and was always afraid it would be the topic of conversation.

It can be pretty funny when a kid actually answers a question right but not right. When asked when a year ends, technically, this answer is correct. But it’s probably not the answer that the teacher was looking for.

But, even with that, it has to be said that if this teacher marked this wrong, she was wrong in a way, too. Either way, this is hilarious.

Word problems can always be kind of tricky because they’re intended to help keep the cognitive thoughts going while still learning math. This kid, though, has it down pat and answered the question right.

However, the second answer may not be so. Though it is technically right, it’s a little too literal and a little too funny.

Sometimes, kids are a whole lot smarter than any adult around them — they simply know the true meaning of life and they don’t try to overcomplicate it the way that many of us do.

Clearly, the best thing you can grow up to be is a sweet and happy dog. Having someone take care of your needs, take you on walks, play, and cuddle with you all day long sounds like a pretty ideal life to us.

As you can probably tell, we love when kids’ literal thinking takes over and they managed to find a way to be both incredibly creative and amazingly hilarious. After all, being technically right is  the best kind of right you can be.

Little Hope followed the instructions to the letter. It really shouldn’t be her fault that the teacher didn’t specify exactly what they wanted her to do. We also absolutely agree with her — the rectangle really does look like a “Bob.”

Though some might feel that the younger generations are all completely selfish and self-absorbed, these kids still find countless ways to surprise us with their awareness and empathy.

This kid was smart enough to answer the question as the teacher intended. But, they found a way to teach the teacher a lesson of their own. We think they deserve double the points for this extra right answer!
