Tell Us Something Strange About Your Child

The most interesting thing about kids is that they all have their own unique way of being so irreconcilably weird. Especially when they are very young and not yet familiar with the concepts of shyness or embarrassment, things like the following that are shared by Reddit user u / Otterleigh are normal and funny for them:

My 4-year-old went to the hairdresser with my dad today. Imagine my surprise when she returned home and immediately, enthusiastically and proudly ran up to me to show off … her bag of hair, which she brought home. Make crafts from. Apparently.

Ah, be four and tinker your own hair. Luckily for us, the oddities don’t end there. The other redditors couldn’t help but jump up to discuss their strange children. Between the ages of 4 and 5, the most amazing oddities occur:

• “It’s cool, I’m 5, and he writes heavy metal songs about the destruction of the universe, which he keeps shouting at full force.” (U / Ioa_3k)
• “The only way to get my four-year-old daughter to clean up her quarters on Sesame Street is to pretend the basket is a cistern full of sharks and make each of the Sesame Street characters beg for their life as she tosses them inside. I had to do it. impressions of their screams and gurgles. ” (u / Abidart the great)
• “My 4-year-old is currently dressed as The Magic Mr. Mistoffeli, but secretly he is a Chatterbox who changed shape to scare Mazu and Rocky.” (u / CitizenKeen)
• “My 5-year-old woman invokes the spirits of yesteryear to help her 3-year-old brother calm down through meditation.” (u / pierre__poutine)
• “Some time ago, my daughter (5) said she was going to eat my flesh and bones as much as her heart desires.” (u / MistressJubbs)
• “I cut my five-year-old’s toenails. He loves it when the clipper doesn’t cut it all the way off so he can take it off and inspect (I presume?). I’m getting my hair cut, and he excitedly pulls off a nail and shouts: “Yes, one more for my collection!” “(U / Oopsiedaisy55)
• “My child kept checks and gave them to people.” (you / Harlsey)

It would be an oversight if I didn’t tell you a strange thing about my own son, about 3-4 years old. (This story is shared with his permission, as he remembers doing it and still thinks it’s pretty funny.) Every time he went to the bathroom, I came to help him, make sure he washed his hands, etc. D. he finished, he pretended the door was locked and we were stuck inside. I would have to “call a superhero” on the phone to come and help us get out.

Abandoning the RPG in this scenario would only end up in an epic crisis on his part, which was not worth it, so we did it every time. Single. time. Several times a day. For months , if not a whole year.

Okay, it’s your turn! Tell us in the comments: What’s so strange about your child?
