These Kids Took Their Parents’ Words Far Too Literally
Kids haven't quite learned the difference between metaphors and literal words yet. Sometimes they take metaphors or instructions way too literally, and you can't blame them for that. But what you can do is take a picture when it happens and post that picture on the internet.
That's what all these parents did. Keep reading to see some kids who are just out here doing their best in the funniest possible way. They are all absolutely adorable.
Listening To A CD
This mom told her baby that there was music on that CD, so naturally, she held the CD up to her ear to try to hear the music.
What a Gen Z move.
It Took Her All Of Four Seconds
This mom told her kids to go find a four-leaf clover in the backyard in an attempt to keep them occupied for a while.
It only took this girl four seconds to find one.
Save Some For Me
This mom told her daughter to save some cookies for her. Well, technically she did save her a cookie. She just didn't save her very many cookies.
Rainbow chocolate chip cookies are hard to resist.
One Last Bite
This little girl didn't want her banana anymore, so her mom told her she could throw it out if she took one more bite.
Well, she did take one more bite.
Don't Eat Them All
This mom told her kid not to eat all of the Pringles. Technically, all instructions were followed in this scenario.
She didn't eat all of the Pringles, just like mom said.
Following The Rules

"I told my daughter she couldn't take clothes off the hangers and try them on so I got this..."
Bring A Fish To School Day

Cheesy Pasta

She did say that he could.
Make A Toast

She thought that meant that they were going to eat toast.
Add Some Sugar

I think their spaghetti dinner is going to be extra sweet tonight.
A Hidden Cooler

He came up with this solution instead.
Put On Lotion

He just put way too much lotion on his face.
Eat Half Of Them
