Kids Who Are Cooler Than We’ll Ever Be
Most times, kids want to grow up to emulate the skills and behaviors they see from the adults around them. However, sometimes, as adults, we can see kids acting in ways infinitely more awesome than we ever were or probably ever will be.
These are kids who are cooler than me, and I'm only lowkey salty about it.
I Wish I Could Be This Nonchalant About Hard Work
This little girl just looked at the decades' worth of work she would have to undergo in order to reach her dream of being an astronaut and treated it like it was no big deal. I want her to teach me her ways.
Kids Are The Champions Of Loopholes
This girl was told that she "better not take her butt out of her room" after being put to bed and, technically, she didn't disobey—her butt is still in the room.
Oh, To Be Rocking Out At A Weird Al Concert
First of all, anyone who has been to a Weird Al Yankovic concert is cool in my books, but this girl takes it to a whole new level with this incredible outfit.
Emma Has It Right
Emma has already described my perfect life: if I could feasibly liquidize my assets and then disappear from everyone and live out my days on a beach with a dog, I would.
She Did Change
This is exactly the type of petty behavior and rebellion against authority that I really admire in a young person. Keep fighting against the rules, sweetie. You're doing absolutely great.
He Built This All By Himself
As an adult who gets frustrated when trying to assemble Lego sets, I'm thoroughly impressed (and slightly envious) that this 5-year-old did it all on his own without even breaking a sweat.
This Kid's Got Guts
This is the kind of thing that a lot of kids would think of doing, but no one would have the audacity to follow through on it. I mean, no one except this fearless kid.
Extort The Parents!
These kids are going to have such a promising future in white-collar crime; if these kids are already conspiring in order to commit fraud at ages 3 and 6, who knows what they will be capable of in the future?
Desperate Times Call For Desperate Measures
This dad explained that his son wanted a beard to go with his costume, but they couldn't afford it. The kid disappeared, cut his own hair, and glued it on his face. He got three times more candy than any of the other kids.
There Has To Be An Easier Way To Eat Cheese
Firstly, I will say that I admire this kid's determination to eat cheese in class, but there must be an easier (and more sanitary) way to sneak a mid-class snack.
Modern Problems Require Modern Solutions
This fourth-grader didn't feel like participating in class, so he changed his name on Zoom to "Reconecting..." and pretended he was having internet connectivity issues. Had he spelled it right, he would have been home free.
That Is Nearly 70, Jean
I love that kids will unabashedly call people out in public without a single hint of hesitation or remorse. Jean probably is a little less thrilled about it, but that's a her problem.
Nice Try, Teacher!
This kid decided to put the math equations to the side and focus on the important issues: dispelling any possible belief that ghosts are actually real. Addition and subtraction can happen later.
I Wish I Had Thought Of This As A Kid
I'm impressed already by the fact that the kid had the wherewithal to think to do this rather than individually hang up each clothing item, but I'm even more impressed by this feat of engineering.
The Energy She's Emitting Is So Powerful
I can't quite put my finger on it, but this little girl is giving off such a powerful yet relaxed energy that I wish I could achieve. No worries—just vibes.
Getting The Best Of Both Worlds
This kid knows that he's not allowed to use his iPad in the kitchen but is also not allowed to take snacks into the living room, so this was his solution to bypass both rules.
This Is Way Better Than Flirting Your Way Out Of A Ticket
On one hand, this dad must be super thankful that his daughter's quick thinking saved him from a speeding ticket. On the other hand, he now knows that his daughter is a manipulative mastermind.
Happy Teacher Appreciation Day!
I mean, every single thing that this child wrote into this card for their teacher is accurate, but how does this 7-year-old know this, and what do they know about drinking?
He's For The Boys
What the mom thought was that her brother was a negative influence on her son but, in reality, her son is a bad influence on his uncle and an absolutely popsicle fiend.
She Did This, Then Said, "Mom, Look!"
This little girl saw this opportunity to pose and pretend that she was a superhero, and she did not hesitate to take it. I can already tell she has a bright future in front of her.
Today It's Netflix, Tomorrow It's The Safe
Using grease to help capture her parents' passcode for the television is just the beginning: someday, she will be finding ways to get people's ATM PINs and steal from them.
This Note Is The Funniest Thing I've Ever Read
From the dramatic tone, the contemplative prose, and the pros and cons list, this kid is an incredible writer. Wordsworth is shaking in his grave right now. Shakespeare wants what he has.
He Is So Majestic
I don't care that this is a baby who doesn't understand anything about life or have any sense of object permanence—I would bow down to it and let it rule me.
Do You Think This Would Work On My In-Laws?
I really have to admire this little girl for coming up with a foolproof way to avoid telling someone she wanted someone to shut up while still effectively getting them to shut up.
The Baby Is Safe, I Guess
These four older siblings were told to watch over the baby while their mother ran out to the store briefly. When she returned, she saw that their solution was to literally put the baby in a basket.
No Shoes? No Problem
This kid was determined to find a way to comfortably ride his bike with bare feet, so he ended up cutting swatches of carpet and gluing them onto the pedals to make it happen.
Imagine Being This Impressive, Let Alone At Age 8
I don't think I could beat a blind person at chess, let alone a chess master, let alone a large group of them while playing simultaneous games with each of them at age 8.
He Raises Some Points
I mean, the kid has a point: his father's life as a dad didn't start until the kid had been born. Doesn't it feel awful to be outwitted by a 6-year-old, though?
I Want To Embody This Vibe
Look at this kid: sunglasses on like a rock star, mini wine glass, towel over his lap, a cookie on hand, and nothing to do but lounge around and soak up the sun.
He Definitely Has A Future In STEM
Kids tend to have natural inclinations toward certain subjects and skillsets from a young age, and this kid's clearly is using little experiments to undermine what he's been told his whole life.
