Add Cracked to Google

The inherent strangeness in children’s behavior is both one of the most charming and unsettling things about them. Seeing the way their weird little underdeveloped brains work can make for great stories, some of which might be filed under “horror.” For example, when you’re trying to clean their room and you stumble upon a Frankenstein-worthy secret science experiment.

Parents shared some of the weirdest, grossest and just plain confusing things they’ve found squirreled away by their children. Things that not only need to be removed, but might demand a hazmat team to manage said removal. 

Read on for some head-stratching and often nose-wrinkling bedroom discoveries.

Aggravating-Bad-9448 . 2mo ago Kept finding my kitchen salt container in my teenagers closet. Still don't know why and never got an answer. And yes it was just sea salt, no other substance
CentralToNowhere 2mo ago Not my kids but my dad... | was going through my dad's keepsakes after he died, all of it was benign, except a 1x2 inch computer printed photo of my dad at about 70 years old completely naked with a photoshopped huge shlong. | assume he or somebody else did this as a joke, but I needed to bleach my eyes
Ordinary Ice 796 . 2mo ago Found a pile of trimmed pubic hair under my high school son's bed (though I wasn't snooping). I was just like Well... I guess someone's been shaving... and threw it away in the trash and moved on with my day. Never said anything to him about it.
flora1939 . 2mo ago I don't have kids, but I've got to say that the most embarrassing thing my parents ever found in my room was the poetry I wrote.
El_Kikko 2mo ago One of my best friends keeps tabs on his teenagers device and Internet usage - he's an an IT security manager who was formerly a forensic accountant. All in all he knows his shit. Не mostly just sets the usual parental alerts and blocks, but is much more thorough on preventing workarounds. On his 17yr old sons habits over the past few years: it's so boring, God it's so fucking boring, it's all literally Fortnite.
LobsterConsistent310 . 2mo ago My co-worker found all the lunches she had packed for her son under his bed. Weird smell mystery solved!
Cannoncorn1 . 2mo ago I apologize to my parents for the dead hermit crab and my brother's IRS forms that they found in my bedroom.
donnerpartyintheusa 2mo ago Edited 2mo ago 1. At least 8 glasses of water like it's goddamn Signs. 2. Literal piles of trash under her covers that she definitely slept with. 3. Random half eaten bags of various chocolates... so many 4. Just gobs of boogers on the headboards 5. Unopened capri sun pouches that based on flavor are artifacts... in her drawers 6. Clustered used pimple patches on her dresser, in her dresser, the walls, just so many.
da powell 2mo ago Not weird, but when I was about 15 my mom confronted me with a dime bag asking what is this!? Obviously thinking drugs or something... I'm a nerd, it was the bag the screws for my new hard drive came in.
WakingOwl1 2mo ago A bucket full of snapping turtle eggs. My kid and their friend saw the turtle nesting, robbed the nest and stashed the eggs near the heater hoping to hatch babies. Wasn't really snooping, was trying to recover some missing dishes.
casey12297 2mo ago Edited 2mo ago Ive got the reverse, I was about 14 and snooping my parents closet and found an envelope marked private. I wasn't sure what kind of secrets my parents held, but I couldn't help but taking a look.... Lemme tell you, a bunch of developed pictures of my mom in lingerie wasn't what | expected. I vowed to never snoop again because 14 years later and I still cant scrub my memory
Genghishahn44 2mo ago I was about 16 years old and I've always been in trouble for smoking pot. My dad hated it. One day I come home from school and I see a home made bong on the kitchen table. The water bottle and pen setup and my dad is fuming. Yelling at me that I'm smoking pot in the house and I keep telling him it's not mine. Now he's saying I'm lying I am the only child still living at home. The next day my dad comes over and apologizes to me about yelling at me. The mystery
For my youngest, worst thing we've found is a fart bag where she and her bestie were trying to save up farts. They had one at besties house too-her mom made them throw it out saying it was unsanitary. | just howled and left it alone. A fart bag. Hilarious, why didn't | ever try that as a kid!
wimwood 2mo ago When my oldest daughter moved out, she thought she took her whole knife collection with her. Wrong. We found seven more knives over the course of the next year as we slowly cleaned the room out. Knives that she didn't even remember she had. It wasn't Creepy like something is wrong with her, it was just like how in the world do you amass this many collectible knives by the age of 18?
SternFern 2mo ago After he moved out I found a huge pencil case with every single pen he had used throughout high school, like 90+ pens, all completely out of ink. I messaged him about it and he's like yeah, that's my pen graveyard like it was the most normal thing ever. It's not a home made fleshlight, but it definitely made me pause and wonder what kind of hoarder I had created.
OddLeeEnough 2mo ago I dont snoop but I do clean and organize from time to time. Teen knows this, also knows that unless I find some really illegal shit I'm not real worried. Having said that... a suit of armor he had made out of watermelon rinds and forgot to toss out. Whole new ecosystem growing on it all.
22grey . 2mo ago My mom would do this when i was a teenager ....I got a diary and hid it. When she found it and opened all she found was in big writing THOUGHT YOU FOUND SOMETHING GOOD, HUH? She laughed about it for the next 20 plus years. . | miss her
DARK COUN, DeadBoneMusic . 2mo ago READ Found a notebook labeled Top Secret Plans. Inside was a full blueprint for how they'd fake sick to skip school, complete with fake cough sound effects and backup crying strategy if I didn't buy it. I was half impressed, half offended. They even wrote: Mom might pretend to be mad, but she'll secretly respect the hustle. ...They were right.
2mo ago She'd been in trouble at school because after her father left, she found an old MJ vape pen of his and got caught with it. So I went to make sure there wasn't anything else like that in there and found a love letter from her boyfriend promising to take her to McDonald's every day and play panic at the disco at their wedding when they got married. It seemed like she was sleeping with this letter under her pillow. I put it right back where | found it.
wildjabali 2mo ago My dad was moving my car in the driveway, yelling out the car window about how it smells like pot. Не reaches into the center console and pulls out a pack of cigarettes, and what about these?? I thought you didn't smoke cigarettes! I don't, they're crayons. Sure enough, the cigarette box was full of crayons. I was a stoner, not a cigarette smoker.
ingracioth 2mo ago I was like 13, living in a rural area, and my best friend at the time was always up to something. For some reason, we got it in our heads that we could secretly raise chickens in the forest behind my house, so we bought an entire chicken starter kit, complete with feed, lights, a book on how to do it right. We attempted to shoplift a few baby chicks in her sweater from the farm supply store, but got caught on the way out. The plan never materialized because no one would sell us baby chicks.
salmontoothpaste 2mo ago When i was a teen, my dad found home made dildos i made out of pencils taped together, a sock, more tape, and saran wrap. Не knew what it was and was mad. I wish he left it alone but he confronted me, and i was adamant it was actually an art project so i painted them and left them on display to dry for weeks to try to prove my point....
edgarpickle 2mo ago My son was 15 at the time. I went into his room and tried to get him to clean it, because it was a damn disaster area. I was ranting at him. Look at all the garbage all over the floor! Look at the dirty dishes! Then I spotted a drinking glass, like a pint glass, on the floor. I said, You have GLASS on the FLOOR where you could step on it and slice your foot wide open! I leaned down and picked it up. It had stuff in it. I took a closer look. Не
SideBackground6932 . 2mo ago A rusted train nail. Not snooping. She folded it up in a sweatshirt to keep it safe and | was putting away laundry. She thought it was an artifact. Couldn't believe something could be that rusty without being 100 years old.
MsPennyP . 2mo ago science experiments. Like the insides of stress balls emptied out. Hair gel mixed with glue. Glue mixed with stress balls goop. Pencil with layers of glue like it was dipped. Glued fuzzy sticks- art apparently.
forestfairygremlin 2mo ago Edited 2mo ago When | was 19 I came home from a night out with my girlfriends to my mother, hysterical and crying, dramatically asking How could you this to me?! She had found a sandwich bag with an unknown substance in it and somehow came to the conclusion that it was heroin, and I had secretly turned into a drug addict. It was small bacon flavored dog treats for our chihuahua, which I had portioned out so they wouldn't get stale. Pretty obvious that my mother had no idea what heroin looked like.
AltrusiticChickadee 2mo ago Searching kids internet histories. Kid one: porn. So much porn. Kid two. How tall is the tallest bridge? What layers can you see n the Grand Canyon? Happy goat videos. Kids , man.
konoha37 2mo ago I was the teenager getting snooped on. I had undiagnosed schizophrenia at the time. And I was building a time machine from old PC parts that I got from people's trash. Thankfully she found it because the way I had designed it, I was going to electrocute myself to send myself back in time. Unfortunately at the time when I found my Time Machine was gone, I thought the government was on to me and basically made myself homeless so they wouldn't find me. I was 14 or 15 at the time. I'm medicated now and doing
Hour_Mathematician83 . 2mo ago An entire dresser drawer of dirty dishes and silverware
prairiedogbox 2mo ago Edited 2mo ago When my brother was a teenager, we went through about 3 computers. Не bought his own, and when that one died, he started using my dad's laptop. It's quickly on the brink of death. Не asked me to fix it for him, and sure enough, it was so packed full of viruses that it took hours to fix. Не asked what was on it, and I had the privilege of showing him the metric shitton of the most disturbing hentai. Не was banished from using other people's computers without supervision, and my dad canceled
ghostguessed 2mo ago I went to my 10-year-old daughter's school for parent-teacher conferences and opened her locker to take a look inside. There wasn't much in it, but lying in the bottom was a book from our local library about how to plan a wedding. Not a fun one with pictures of wedding dresses and stuff. It was called Wedding Rites: A Complete Guide to Traditional Vows, Music, Ceremonies, Blessings and Interfaith Services. I was baffled and her teachers and I had a good laugh about it. When I got home and asked her about it, she explained she and
