Adults Who Received Some Questionable Gifts From Children
It's common knowledge among parents that children below the age of 10 are just not good at giving gifts a lot of the time. It's okay—this is a judgment-free zone. You can admit that the macaroni masterpiece your daughter gave you for Father's Day isn't actually hanging up in your office at work for you to admire every day.
The Ideal Lunch
As far as packed lunches go, we believe that every day should include a mid-day Miller Lite to go with our mac and cheese cup and applesauce in the break room.
You've Got A Little Artist On Your Hands
His daughter drew a portrait of him in art class one day, and true to form, this dad made sure that piece of art became a reality. If that's how she sees him, that's how he's going to be.
Is It A Scratch And Sniff?
The most concerning part is the fact that this isn't even a homemade card. A store out there is selling these in bulk, because this is apparently what consumers are demanding in today's world.
"Glad You're Not Dead"
What grandfather wouldn't like a framed reminder of the fact that he is inches from death at any given moment? It seems like just the thing that he would want to be reminded of, especially on his birthday.
She Likes A Challenge
One curious 10-year-old asked her brother what kind of stuff he liked. When he said "mustaches, guitars, and sloths," he wasn't expecting much, but an hour later she emerged from her room with this gift.
Every Meal Should Be Celebrated
Your Mother's Day might have involved jalapeno poppers, but did they involve party poppers? This 5-year-old understands that their mother should be celebrated on her special day, even if one of those poppers has the potential to take someone's eye out.
A Bleak Outlook
Something we're quickly learning is that if you're seeking comfort, you should not turn to your 11-year-old. All the 11-year-olds in the world are apparently insensitive cynics who want to remind you of your eventual death.
She's Not Not Right
While it's accurate, it's also a bit of a weird thing to write on a card or painting that you're gifting to a family member. Is this something we need to talk to the art teacher about?
That's Vaguely Threatening
If your child gives you a Valentine's Day card that says you are lucky to be alive, you have a right to be a tad concerned. It doesn't matter that she distracted you with the pretty colors and hearts; don't fall into her trap.
No Need To Panic
It would be a little off-putting to receive a construction paper envelope labeled "dad seed" from your child as a present. Luckily, it just contained sunflower seeds and raisins; a father's favorite in their household.
Mummy's Special Stickers
"Mummy, can I put this sticker on Daddy's card?" Without actually looking at the "sticker" her child was talking about, Mom said yes, and that's how Dad ended up with a pad stuck to his card.
Penny For Your Thoughts?
Clearly, Mummy needs to be spending more time working with her daughter on her spelling and grammar homework so we can avoid any future inappropriate spelling errors on other upcoming holidays.
Not The Escargot She Wanted For Mother's Day
Kids like to get a little creative when it comes to gift-giving, and this was no exception. She might not have any money, but she's got two hands to catch snails with for a Mother's Day surprise.
Happy Valitis Day
Chase's babysitter Kelly was feeling a little down because she was single and Valentine's Day was coming up. Chase decided to make her a little card to cheer her up... Once she deciphered it, she appreciated it.
Hard To Argue With This Logic
Adults have a tendency to overcomplicate things, but this boy is clearly still too young to need to overthink things. You're his mom, he's your kid, so you get a mug.
How Generous Of Him
It's always good to know where you stand with your kids, considering they're going to be the ones taking care of you when you get older. Let's hope whoever received this note from their son has another child to take care of them.
Something Got Lost In Translation
When she asked her daughter to make her mozzarella sticks for dinner, her child was up to the task, there was just a bit of a miscommunication about what that actually consists of.
Know Your Place, Dad
It may be Dad's special day, but this boy wanted to make sure that his father still knew where he sat in the hierarchy of the household. This kid really put Dad in his place.
Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder
This card is just what every mother wants to read from their son, I'm sure. Maybe this mom would like him a little better if he kept thoughts like this to himself.
Now You're Ready For Halloween
While working his regular dinner shift like he does most days at his job as a waiter, this man was gifted an eye patch by a 4-year-old who enjoyed her dinner.
Someone Has To Be Santa For Mom & Dad
He may not know that Santa isn't real (sorry, spoiler alert), but what he does know is that Santa doesn't seem to bring stocking stuffers for his mom and dad. This year, he took it upon himself to make stockings for his parents, and he did not disappoint.
Kody Meant Well
One could argue that if you're married to someone, you probably don't need to use a love potion on them, but maybe Kody knows more about that marriage than we do.
Time To Phone The Parents
Well, this is going to make for an awkward call home... One student gave his teacher a Valentine along with a nice rose, except the rose turned out to be a pair of underwear.
Look At All Your Wrinkles
If you wanted a reminder that the elasticity of your skin is not the same as it once was, looking at yourself in this tinfoil mirror is just what you need.
Breakfast Of Champions
Ah yes, the breakfast that every father dreams of receiving from their child. Who doesn't love a piece of toast with Legos on it, or a cup of tea stirred with a paintbrush?
I'm Sensing Some Animosity
"I wish I could say die in a hole." This makes us think that perhaps she had already said that and was advised that it was a no-go, so she's amended it, but she's still getting the point across.
Where Do We Think He Purchased This Gift?
After receiving this gift from her daughter for Mother's Day, this mom is now a little concerned that her child might have been watching Breaking Bad in her spare time on the iPad.
A Hearty Meal
Every father looks forward to the feast they'll hopefully receive on Father's Day. The day where they could get to eat their favorite foods without anyone complaining, or where their family cooks all their meals for them. This father, for instance, was treated to a delicious frozen waffle sandwich.
Stating Facts
As far as "get well soon" cards go, this one is pretty pitiful. As far as his ability to be concise, though? Well, he's got that part down pat. His uncle was in the hospital, he brought him a card, what more do you want?
At Least It's Something Useful
Not every gift your children give you is going to be useless. Sometimes they strike gold and end up finding the perfect pizza cutter shaped like an ax to delight their father with.
