31 of the Weirdest Things Parents Caught Their Kids Doing

Being a helicopter parent at least lets you know when your kid is doing some weird shit. Sure, it may hinder their development, make them paranoid or stunt their general sense of self, but at least you’d be able to keep your child from licking the floor so they don’t develop a penchant for the taste. Or, you’d notice the container of garlic powder was missing before your child coated himself and the bathroom in garlicky goodness. 

In that vein, parents on Reddit have revealed the most bizarre things they’ve caught their kids doing, and we can’t wait until these children grow up and inevitably run for Congress.

Goose_Season . 3y When my son was first learning to talk my mom kept saying Just wait until he learns to say no! Like, really building up the anticipation.

rebekahah . 3y My mom caught me bringing eggs from the kitchen into my room and sitting on them in a blanket nest, hoping they'd hatch. What she didn't catch was that I had been doing this for a while and would put the eggs back into the fridge when they wouldn't hatch after a few days. ... 6k

cranialdrain . Зу I'm not a parent but my niece was very upset that her older sister wouldn't turn the TV over when I was babysitting once.

ssfRAlb Зу When my son was about 5, he was playing in the living room while I was making lunch. Suddenly I hear him making some weird retching noises, so I ran over to see what was happening. Не was on his hands and knees, rocking back and forth, and suddenly one of the cat's toys - a little yarn ball - popped out of his mouth. I thought he'd been choking on it. No - he'd been imitating Puss 'N Boots coughing up a hairball from his favorite Shrek movie. ... 99
atrus99 Зу 3 year old daughter would dig through the garden or under backyard objects to find pillbugs/woodlice and then bring them to us when they rolled into a ball. My wife and I would feign interest and tell her that they would stop rolling up into a ball once she left them alone. A while back, my wife had given her a small, unused makeup bag. One summer night, I caught her whispering into the makeup bag right before bedtime. I asked her who she was talking to. She said she was talking to all the beetles that didn't

Our furnace was in our crawl space so he went down. About 15 minutes later, he asked me to hand him 3 black garbage bags through one of the vents so I did so. Не came up later with 3 bags of plastic toys. I had wondered where all my sons toys were going. I asked my son why he was putting toys
MissMetalSix 3y I was the child. I was in my backyard and noticed there were a lot of slugs around since it had been raining. I was concerned that they had nowhere to go and they would be stuck outside where they would drown in the rain. So I went to the garage and got a bin and went around collecting every slug I could find. Then I got the idea to make it into a miniature city. I put in water, moss sticks, etc. and it became a project of mine that I maintained for weeks. Well one day
