Once in a while, if not every waking day, moms and dads around the world have to deal with both sides of parenthood. Regardless, as they say, the beauty and ugliness make it worthwhile. So let's look at a few moments when these two sides intersected, and parents undoubtedly realized how adorably clueless their little one was.
This One's On You, Papa
Let's assume you still are yet to get a kid but don't mind understanding how these little humans function before you get there. Kids are more like your stubborn girlfriend whom you love and whose company you wouldn't trade for anything in the world despite their relentlessness.
Take, for instance, this three-year-old who would have instead had ice cream for breakfast, but yogurt was their only option. So they settled on creating their reality and pretending it was the ice cream they were eating. The problem is this little bubble he made didn't last, and because parents should be able to read minds or do some yogurt-into-ice-cream magic, the kid got upset at his dad for it!
Throwing a Marriage Tantrum
Parenthood is one of the many things that don't come with a manual in life, but we all wish it did. The thought of raising someone and influencing who they become is a scary one to some parents. A simple place to start is to ensure you're doing the best you can and keeping an open mind while at it.
Still, you will only partially get it right as there are a lot of cuts and tries in parenting. This guy's mate probably wasn't prepared for when his daughter asked if she could marry a boy or a girl when she got older but asking if she could marry soup, which she didn't even like, no doubt took the crown.
Letting Grandma Down, Literally
Do you know how sometimes, with adults, one can't quite tell if they genuinely care or want to appear concerned? Unfortunately, that is never the case with kids. This adorable little girl was face timing with her grandmother and must have forgotten she was holding the phone, or it slipped and fell.
She genuinely thought grandma was hurt from the fall since a gasp escaped her mouth, and after picking up the phone, she asked the granny if she was okay. We bet your heart is already melting from the thought, so if you have doubts about kids being angels on the earth, this is your sign of steering clear of the uncertainty.
It Doesn't Get Any Easier
Or does it? This is for all the parents whose kids know how to throw a good fit. Those little humans must think their parents are superheroes who know or take on everything. As much as we imagine this dad thought the kid was oblivious to her demands, it must be exasperating.
What do you do when your kid doesn't want to go down the seesaw and for her shadow to stop following her? Oh, did we also mention that they wanted to have hot ice cream and for the bones in her body to vanish somehow? As much as it is fulfilling, parenting can be a lot, so we're sending all parents hugs and grace.
Through Thick and Thin Buddy
You've probably loved someone to the point you want to be in the same place, experiencing the same thing in the same breath as your fellow hopeless romantics out here. Now that's the kind of bond most pet owners have with their pets, and this kid is no exception.
The little girl insisted on also having her cone of shame like her dog and only stopped crying when she got it. It sounds more like for better or worse, right? Talk about being in it for the long haul. If you think about it, kids can teach us a thing or two about marriage.
An Attempt to Bring Peace on the Chessboard
Children do not fail to surprise us; sometimes, they do things that leave us astonished. This kid also did something unexpected that we adults couldn’t even think to do. The little one wanted some peace, so decided it decided to turn the black-and-white pieces into pals instead of letting them contest against each other.
We assume that if this child came to power, world peace wouldn’t be a dream anymore, and we would live it. So it was good thinking to take a picture of the chessboard, and it looks like all of them are having a ball. We wish at least a few of us could have such an ideology.
Afterall It Was Important to Know
Children are curious by nature, and their questions sometimes leave us stunned. We bet this pediatrician was hit by a random question from a young patient just this once, and there may have been past instances. After all, the kid only wanted to know if their doctor was a superhero in disguise.
We assume it wouldn’t have been any trouble for this medical practitioner to come up with a witty reply. Maybe he even had a mask or two in his closet to keep the preschoolers entertained, and he wore one before answering the question. Well, being a children’s doctor isn’t all as easy as we thought.
The Sandwich Is All Hooked Up
A child's creativity knows no bounds, and there are things that they create that we may have never crossed our minds. When the teacher instructed the kindergartners to hang their belongings on the hooks before entering the art class, most of them put their backpacks and bottles on the clips.
Nonetheless, one pupil in the class went beyond everyone's imagination and placed his sandwich perfectly well on a rivet. We assume the educator must have been proud of the student's geniuses, so she took a picture of it and shared it with everyone on the internet. Who knew hooks were multipurpose, and only a kid could teach us that?
Here's the Hurt Knee
So, kids also have the audacity to be in your head whenever they want to upset you or are in the mood for your undivided attention. This four-year-old spent a whole ten minutes ranting to his dad about his grazed knee, which was perfect without any dent in his daddy's eyes.
The little boy went on and on about how to hurt he was, only to realize later that his dad's confusion was because he'd been showing him the knee that wasn't hurt all along. Still, the scrape wasn't as bad as he'd made it sound but ain't that something kids do?
Taking a Little Help Wouldn't Hurt
As kids, we all wanted to do things on our own, sleep on our own time and throw tantrums when things did not go our way. Little did we know that as adults, we would hate being independent and would prefer our parents helped us.
This child wanted to be self-reliant and order his meal, but he learned the hard way that taking some aid from his mom and dad wouldn't hurt. Given how the boy ended up with a bun with only eggs and veggies without the yummy sauce left him disappointed, and the next time, he would let an adult help. We believe his family made him eat the sandwich all by himself.
How Cute and Hygienic Is That?
One thing that is common among kids all around the world is that they have a very innocent thought process. Kids have the most amazing imaginations coupled with their innocence; it feels like their spirit is the solution to all of the world’s problems.
Having said that, we believe this kid will take up the mission of cleanliness as they grow up. As apparently, they know how important cleanliness is. That may be why they answered this question in this manner. Although they made it clear that they would hate cleaning the castle up, they still opted to be a janitor for their castle life because that is just how important it is.
Kids Have the Wildest Imaginations
Even though most kids fancy a superpower believing that they do not have any, we believe that they, in fact, do. Their imagination is their superpower, which tends to get lost on one’s journey to adulthood. This social media user came across his old assignment as a grade one student.
The assignment wanted him to name what they wanted to become as a grown-up. Instead of opting for a normal career, he let his imagination run wild as a child and wrote that he would love getting carried away by the owls as an adult. We wonder, however, what career he ended up going into.
The Internet Never Forgets
It is no secret that sometimes kids do the most stupid things and try to lie out of trouble. Quite surprisingly, this 10-year-old wanted to test the durability of his phone against the dirt bike and even made a video of the test and uploaded it on the internet.
Unsurprisingly, the phone did not prove very durable and ended up broken. Yet, when his mother asked him how he broke his phone, he told her that he had just woken up to a broken phone. Not buying into the story, the mother searched about and found the evidence in his own video. As a result, the kid got an important life lesson that the internet never forgets.
Caught in the Action
Most kids hate that their parents get to call the shots on what they eat. Because let’s face it, eating ice cream for all three meals of the day is not a good choice. So, more often than not, the kids sneak up to the fridge and plunder the goods inside when their parents are not looking.
This kid apparently devised a marvelous plan and even recruited a partner-in-crime, probably for a 50-50 split of the bounty. They successfully sneaked up to the refrigerator, however, and ended up getting caught red-handed when the parent walked in on them. The dog’s face looks like he’s about to rat his partner out for a pardon.
He Was Supposed to Be Green
Kids take everything at face value, and sometimes it gets difficult for them to swallow that reality is a bit different than how they perceive it. This holds, especially for their favorite superheroes from the movies.
Judging their facial expressions, this pair of twins was seriously disappointed upon meeting their favorite superhero, the Hulk. They probably thought that the man would be green and huge. Yet, quite shockingly for them, Lou Ferrigno turned out to be a regular human being, despite his muscular body, and quite different from their imagination of the Hulk. We believe it’s only fair that the duo was unhappy with this deviation.
Kids Also Need Some Quiet
When kids ask for privacy, it's best to let them be. Then, at least for the time being, they won't get to disturb anyone while also getting the quietness they so badly need.
This child seems to have found the perfect spot to steal away. He could enjoy his time there for as long as possible. His privacy can, however, be interrupted if someone eventually decides to do some laundry. That will surely lead to some confrontation. We hope this kid's parents will avoid doing any laundry until the child has fully enjoyed himself.
Who Could Refute This?
One characteristic of children is that they have some weird beliefs. We all can look back and be embarrassed by the things we sincerely believed in our childhood but have come to understand that they are not true.
This person shared his childhood thoughts. He once believed that birds emerged from birdseed and even felt he had the evidence to support his belief. How frustrating it must have been for his parents to persuade him otherwise. They wouldn't want their child telling people that they grew some colorful birds from seeds. Still, they had no way of refuting the little child's evidence.
Mom's Name Is Mom
Should parents feel embarrassed if their little kids don't know their real names? Maybe, maybe not. As a matter of fact, their children grew up addressing them as 'mom' and 'dad' and believed that those were their first names. It's, therefore, the responsibility of parents to tell the little innocents that those aren't real names before it's too late.
For this child, the announcement came a little too late. She'd believed that her mum had no other names and felt extremely unhappy after being told otherwise. Perhaps, the new name might even be more difficult to pronounce. Now we understand why this revelation was heartbreaking for the little angel, and we can't really blame her.
A Funny Case of Receding Hairlines
Kids have no business battling with receding hairlines. It's a fight reserved only for adults. Still, if parts of a child's hair suddenly begin to disappear, who are we to judge? It's just that sometimes, a child's disappearing hair may not be entirely natural, as in this child's case.
Her mum had made it clear that the little girl didn't have a receding hairline. It's just the situation of kids accidentally coming in contact with their parents' cosmetics. This child might have innocently applied a removal lotion or even used a shaving stick on her hair. Does that ring any bells?
This Child's Really Good at Hiding
Playing hide-and-seek is a good way to bond with your kids. Not only do they enjoy it so much, but some of them also pull off some adorable hiding stunts that'll make us laugh our hearts out. Finally, we come face-to-face with a child's innocent mind and may be forced to play along with them.
This child is trying his best to hide from his mom and believes he's doing a pretty good job at it. Just imagine him thinking that since he can't see her, then she can't see him too. How funny and heartwarming too. We hope the mum played along, too, just to help him boost his self-confidence.
A Long Beach Holiday
Requesting parents for a longer stay at the beach might not work, so this kid had a foolproof plan for extra playtime while keeping his parents busy.
As the parents thought it would be a beautiful and relaxing beach day, they had no idea that the devil was at work. Instead, the day turned into a panicked mess after they discovered their child had buried the car keys in the sand. Digging through the sand everywhere is not an ideal holiday but a surely memorable one.
An Amateur at Work
When this mom found her phone in the toilet, finding the culprit among her three kids became a puzzling task. Luckily, the offender was an amateur and got caught for a small mistake.
The mother found this super reliable evidence while scrolling through her phone’s gallery. We bet the other two kids heaved a sigh of relief that they didn’t get falsely charged with this misdoing. Hopefully, the third one will ensure to delete every piece of evidence in his next offense.
Ready for an Independent Life
Some kids arThe child decided it was time for an impromptu playdate after they spotted a cute baby in another car in the traffic. They didn’t think they needed their parent’s permission for this playdate or even wait for them to open the car door.
These new-age babies want to be independent right after they are out of the womb!e just too advanced for their age. They don’t need their parents to make decisions for them, for example, the kid we can see here.
Quite a Sticky Moral Support
Children can have a really sick sense of humor. After losing a leg in an accident, a dad offered his son the chance to decorate his braces with stickers of his choice.
Now, choosing a sticker among so many favorites might have been a tough job for the little guy. Still, we are amused to see this is the sticker they chose to go for! While the incident is tragic, we hope this situation brought much-needed laughter to the family.
Not Letting the Onion Go
Here we have a kid holding his favorite toy, an onion. We understand you have questions in your mind, but it’s better if we don’t try to understand the logic behind children’s thoughts. Anything can be their favorite toy if they throw it around.
According to his parents, he has a huge toy collection, but this vegetable caught his eye. Well, they don’t have to worry much- the kid will move on to another favorite toy in no time.
Dad Had an Expiry Date
Every child needs a hero; for most kids, that's usually their dads. So, therefore, we can only imagine how devastated this six-year-old was when he saw an expiry date on his dad's ID. In his mind, he thought that was the date his father would pass away. Little did he know it only meant the ID was due for renewal.
To make matters worse, when his dad caught him crying, he didn't tell him what was going through his mind. The dad could have explained things and put his mind at ease.
They Hide, and We Pretend to Seek
Kids can be so innocent; sometimes, their innocence is amusing. Take, for instance, when playing hide and seek with toddlers. They hide in the most obvious places and think you can't see them. If you are smart enough, you will pretend to look for them for a few minutes before finally finding them because if you find them immediately, they will throw tantrums.
Look at this kid who hid behind a transparent door, hoping they couldn't be seen. It's so adorable. We hope the kid and the parent had a good time playing this thrilling game.
Not So Clear Instructions
Children can sometimes be infuriating, from breaking all the eggs in the carton to pouring all the flour on the floor. Nonetheless, while doing it, they are so innocent that it is so hard to be mad at them. For example, this next kid was given a plastic bag and told to throw up inside it after telling the mum they were car sick.
After throwing up, the mum turned around, hoping all the vomitus was in the plastic bag, only to find out they had vomited all over the car and the plastic bag was around their head. We are willing to bet the mum had a good laugh about this later.
They Could Be Onto Something
When you take your child out for an ice cream treat on a hot day, you expect them to eat it happily. Nevertheless, this parent was shocked when their kid took the whole ice cream cone and put it over their head. Maybe they thought this was a faster way of cooling their body when the sun was shining brightly outside.
As amusing as the scene was, we are sure their parents didn't find it funny at all. We hope they managed to salvage some of the sweet treats to eat with their mouths.
Talk About An One Way Relationship
Pets and children are inseparable; they have a special kind of companionship. There are also several benefits of kids having pets which include a playmate, thus increasing their physical activity. Nevertheless, what happens when there is the unrequited love between the two? This cat's facial depression says it all; it wants to be left alone.
Unfortunately, the child couldn't tell they were in a one-way relationship with the neighbor's cat, and nobody was willing to break their hearts. Hopefully, their parents got them a pet that loved them back and had less scary facial expressions.
These Hilarious Photoshop Before and After Pictures Are Guaranteed to Make You Laugh-Out-Loud
Photoshop experts have been in high demand since the rise of social media. Some photoshop masters are not just creative but unbelievably funny. A man named James Fridman is one of those masters. He can be the photoshop genie to fulfill your wishes. However, he has one reminder, "Be careful what you wish for," because if you aren't, you might have a photoshopped picture that'll end up on this list...
The "Red" Sheep
A guy felt singled out of a family picture when he was the only one with red hair in a family of all brunettes and wanted to change the picture, so he could fit in with the rest of his family.
Thus, he asked James for some help. But of course, our photoshop master has a different and unique way of dealing with this kind of thing. Instead of making his hair brown, he just turned the whole family into a real-life Weasley household. Now he’s got no problem fitting in, right?
James gets many requests for pictures to add to a scene or make it look like the scenario is more than it originally looked. For this request, a person asked James to make his picture look like a crime scene was occurring, making a picture of him lying on the grass become more gruesome or interesting.
James delivered and delivered well. The simple change and the hilarious caption encapsulate the request of a crime scene occurring ideally, and without changing the photo drastically, made it a request to remember the nation-shaking crime of going on the grass.
James doesn't like lazy people, and if something is brought to him that wants to be changed could be fixed easily by the person requesting the change, James will make it known to them
In this picture, the request to clean the stains off the mirror is dismissed into a casual suggestion of what he should have done, which is clean the dirty mirror himself. James hopes that this person learned from this that his pictures were good enough on their own, but he just needs to put effort into having his household as clean as he looks in his fit.
If you dont give James a specific request, he'll change the picture any which way he pleases. This person wanted some photoshop editing done but wasn't specific about what he wanted to be changed, just that he wanted the picture edited.
Having the request be non-specific, James had a little fun and sent back a spot-the-difference game explaining he slightly changed a few critical parts of the photo and that they needed to look for the changes. The requestee might have wanted something more drastic of a change, but now you can have fun finding the differences between the photos. Can you spot all of the differences?
It is as easy as ever with technology to put a missing person into a reunion photo or add a celebrity you haven't met to your picture. For this request, James was asked to photoshop Beyonce and jay z into his picture because who wouldn't want to meet the two?
James executed his job perfectly, but it isn't very likely that anybody believes that the finished product is authentic. Still, it isn't a crime to want to meet Beyonce, and completely understandable if this person decides to frame this photo!
This user sent in a photo of himself thinking about something pretty intensely, so it makes sense why James edited the photo the way he did. The request to make it look like he is "contemplating something really important" is ridiculous because he already looks like that, so what more can be added?
And that's where James comes in and perfectly shows what else needs to be added to the photo. What's more important than thinking about food?
Sometimes people want to photoshop a picture to have a different colored shirt or a different background, but this user was going for something a little more unique and creative with his request.
Asking James to become either a cyborg or a demon and to pick whichever looked better, James decided that he would look best as a hybrid of the two, and it turned out spectacular!
I Am Everyone
Sometimes people have group shots as their profile pictures, and people who don't know the person in real life can't figure out who the person is to whom the account belongs. And so this man wanted to avoid this common issue and figured James might be able to help him.
Since he only mentioned that he “want ppl to be sure which one I am”, James made sure that it will definitely be the result. So instead of just editing out one of his colleagues, James just replaced their faces with his own. No one would surely get confused now. He was everyone.
Sometimes a little bit goes a long way, especially if you didn't specify enough about how you want your photo edited. This woman wanted her boyfriend's face to be just a little smaller in the picture, and James replies with a masterpiece
The request was taken too literally by James and looked like a Snapchat filter, making his face small but keeping the head the same size. James is comedically showing that the girl who submitted this photo should love her boyfriend for all of his features and making her realize the picture was perfect as it was to begin with.
The Eyefell Tower
Of course, we all dream of going to Paris and going to its most famous spots like the “Eiffel Tower”. This girl contacted James and asked for a favor. She said that she lied to her friends about visiting Paris and so she was asking to be “fotoshop” as if she was in front of the “Eyefell tower”.
Although really confused, James did her best to grant her request. He put her in front of the tower and of course, he did what she asked for, the “Eyefell tower”. James created a tower with giant eyeballs falling off of it. Now we all know what an “Eyefell tower” is.
Absolutely 'Grater'
It's a recipe for disaster when two friends end up liking the same guy. Some girls would do anything to get him, others would back down for the sake of friendship. In this case, we are dealing with one girl that would take any advantage to get the guy. But who says that karma isn’t real?
This woman requested James to edit this photo and make her look “grate” than the other girl because they liked the same guy. However, we don’t really know if she was in a rush when she emailed this request because she misspelled the word “great”. And what could possibly James do? Of course, he did his best to make her look “grater” literally.
Instant Date
As much as we can’t really understand it, there are some people who are really mean. We never really know why they are doing what they do, but luckily - James knows how to get right back at them. Here's another example of someone who made a request to James that was not really understandable. For some reason, these girls wanted to take one girl out of their group photo and of course, just like what expected of James, he literally did.
Maybe James also did not understand why these girls sent him this kind of mean request or he just wanted to show off his humor. Either way, James was quite creative with this one and photoshopped the picture to make it look like he had taken the woman out on a date. What a beautiful couple!
Eyes on the Camera, Honey
In our highly-digitalized world where we can not live without our phones anymore, we often become more focused on them rather than the people around us- just like the man in this photo. He and his girlfriend went out on a date. However, it looks like he was more of dating his phone more than his girlfriend, and thus, she made a little request to James.
The girl just wanted her boyfriend to look a little interested in her and so, James did his best. With a speaking bubble, our photoshop expert put in a statement that says “Honey, I’m pregnant!” and who wouldn't look up after hearing that? The expression he chose to put on the man's face is beyond funny as it's the perfect mix between bewilderment, shock, and faux excitement.
How Could He Possibly Have Fun?
It is an inevitable fact that we have to accept that some people just tend to be naïve. And as for this request which James received from a girl, we can truly say, that this photoshop expert somehow really knows how to read a situation.
This girl asked James to make it look like his friend was having fun with her because we can all see how he looks a little miserable on this photo. And as much as James wanted the girl how the situation goes, he kindly edited the photo to help the poor guy. James replaced the text on his shirt with “Help! I got friendzoned,” statement. Hopefully, she understands it soon and saves the poor guy so he can be really happy.
He’s Rich
Some people care more about money than love, and those shallow priorities can create some pretty cold-hearted people. For example, the woman who sent in a photo of her and her boyfriend asking if James could make him rich. Poor guy.
But thankfully, James is not only funny, but he knows how to shame the person who sent in the ridiculous requests as well. James put a nametag on her boyfriend which simply says “Richard”. Now, he’s really rich, isn't he?
I’m Enjoying the View, Sis
Of course, it has always been a part of the history that siblings just tend not to be in good terms. Well, in this picture, these siblings do not look that they are on an argument or something but her brother really looks uninterested, and so, this woman requested James to make his brother look like he’s also having fun.
This photo would look really great only if his brother looks a little interested. But James took care of her problem. She wants him to look like he’s having fun? James added a photo of a sexy girl walking past through them and of course his brother ended up with no choice but to raise his head up.
A Very Dedicated Photoshop Expert
Oftentimes. when people are touring or visiting a new place they love to take pictures. But, sometimes it may not come out as we anticipated and need some help. Just like this woman, who asked James if he could do something about it.
And while James can just simply erase the graffiti through his photoshop skills, he just seems to be really dedicated to answering her request that he wanted to do it himself. And thus, James added a photo of him literally cleaning up the graffiti on the background. Hats down to you, James!
Just Another Fire Hydrant
Everyone has been in a situation where a stranger jumps into the background of your photo. Though we wish we could just stop people from being a photobomber, they seemingly come out of nowhere. And this girl came to James when a man ruined her picture with his photobombing skills.
And because she specifically said “do something with this man”, instead of removing him in the picture like what everybody thought he would do, he just made him blend with the background surroundings. And thus, that man is just another fire hydrant!
Fitting In
It's not really convenient to take a photo of a crowded public place, but this woman still posed in front of the crowd hoping for a clean background. However, as expected, she was disappointed to see that things really did not go on what she had imagined and so, she asked James if he could do something to the man behind her.
This man really did not look like he really wanted to photobomb her, he just happened to be at her back. And so, since the woman thought that the man was out of style, James decided to dress him up with the same clothes as her. Now, there’s no problem with him. He just quite became more of a scene-stealer than her.
My Utahraptor Boyfriend
This was one of the oddest requests James had ever received. This woman might have broken up with this guy or something for her to request something like this. She sent a photo of her kissing her boyfriend and requested James to “make it look like” she was kissing a dinosaur, but the most amazing thing is, she even has a dinosaur preference!
As she said that she wanted to look like she was kissing a Utahraptor. We could only hope that she would love him better now that he even has three dinosaur fingers.
