You see a lot of articles about parents pulling pranks on their unsuspecting kids. And they can get away with it because, yanno, they’re kids. They’re easily tricked.

But maybe, from time to time, the clever kiddos get a chance to yell GOTCHA! at one or both of their parents.

In honor of kids like those, let’s take a few minutes to appreciate these 15 pretty great pranks.

15. This was definitely done by a boy.

And maybe not even on purpose.

14. You got what you asked for, lady.

They know their letters! And how to use scissors! Win!

13. I wonder how long it took him to notice?

I’m going to need the followup.

And I even knew what it was ahead of time.

Kids Accidentally Destroyed a Glass-Blown Castle Worth $64,000

If you thought your kids were destructive forces not to be trusted in public, well, you’re probably going to feel better about any accidents they may have had in the past.

Because no matter what they might have destroyed, the chances are high that it wasn’t a one-of-a-kind replica of Disneyland’s Fantasy castle that cost over sixty grand.

The intricate glass model resided at the Shanghai Museum of Glass in China, and was a replica of Shanghai Disneyland’s Fantasy Castle. The incident occurred when two children who were playing a game climbed over the barriers that separated the model from the public.

They ran into the box holding it, dislodged a piece, and it shattered.

As you can imagine, the sound of breaking glass in a glass museum caused immediate alarm, but the museum itself has been pretty chill about the whole thing.

Surprisingly chill, if you ask me.

The museum made the following comment in Weibo,

“The little visitors knew that their behavior was inappropriate, and, under the encouragement of their parents, reported the incident to the museum staff.

Their attitudes were friendly and sincere, and they agreed to help out with follow-up matters.”

Well, that’s a very tidy attitude!

By the way, did I mention that the model took… 500 hours to build!!!!

And it was comprised of over 30,000 components and is adorned with 24-carat gold.

A little backstory… it was created by the Arribas Brothers, a company created when two Spanish glassblowers met Walt Disney at the 1964 World’s Fair in Queens, NY. Three years later they operated a tiny glass studio inside Sleeping Beauty’s Castle at Disneyland.

The good news?

Miguel Arribas has agreed to fix the display castle, and the museum plans to include a program teaching kids what they can and cannot touch going forward.

Some think the museum should have gone with a “you break it, you bought it” philosophy, accusing the parents of raising “little emperors,” which is the Chinese term for spoiled brats.

The museum is hopeful that the changes they’re making will encourage children and their families to visit the space for generations to come – but to be a bit more careful when they do.

The secondhand parental anxiety and horror is real, is it not?

I think I would have died of mortification if this had been my little emperor! Ugh!

Kids Whose Parents Caught Them Doing Some Pretty Silly Stuff

If there’s one thing that’s true as a parent, it’s that a good portion of your life will be dedicated to saving your children from themselves.

Whether they’re toddlers trying to stick their tongues into light sockets, elementary-aged kids who think they should take flying leaps off everything, or high schoolers who have, for some reason, been given permission to drive, it’s can seem like a full-time job.

Especially when your kids are doing stuff like these 10, who will surely look back on these moments and laugh.

10. You gotta do what you gotta do.

Not every day. But some days.

Image Credit: Twitter

9. I don’t think any of them are wrong.

It’s all perspective.

These Kids Have the Best Wrong Names for Things

One of the best things about being a parent is when your kid starts to talk (so that you can finally understand them).

No, not the constant “mommy mommy mommy look look LOOK” stuff, but the way they just say whatever is on their mind, and are so sure they’re right every single time.

The mistakes they make are adorable and hilarious, and these are some of the best around.

13. In real life, though, the hippies eat everything.

Especially the rich.

Image Credit: Twitter

12. It’s pretty funny that he can say “vagina” but not “dinosaurs.”

I think…good job?

Just sayin’.

Image Credit: Twitter

And parents beg it for deliverance. He might be onto something.

Image Credit: Twitter

Or it was before the whole going out of business thing.

Image Credit: Twitter

8. Talk about spreading Christmas cheer.

I can’t stop laughing.

Image Credit: Twitter

7. That is not even remotely correct.

Except for the chicken part, maybe.

Image Credit: Twitter

6. I mean…we do sort of plant them there.

We don’t water them, though, because we definitely don’t want them growing.

Image Credit: Twitter

5. To be fair it says Jell-O on the package.

So really he can just read way to go.

Image Credit: Twitter

4. America still isn’t grown, clearly.

This is the content we all signed up for, please and thank you.

Image Credit: Twitter

3. If he’s eating it because it’s an apple, definitely don’t say anything.

Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth and all that.

Image Credit: Twitter

2. You need to think about what you’ve done.

Before someone calls CPS.

Image Credit: Twitter

1. Definitely the kid.

Unless it’s that one Canadian couple. You know who I’m talking about.

Image Credit: Twitter

I would have been wheezing with laughter if my kid had come up with some of these!

What’s the funniest wrong name your kid has given something? If it’s as good as these, I need to hear it!

These Kids Should Get to Name Everything From Now On

Kids are very funny (when they’re not being annoying, at least), and one of the best things they do is have total confidence as they call things the completely wrong name.

The thing is, more than half of the time they’re spot-on with their description, if not the proper name – which is why kids like these 11 should be tasked with naming things from now on.

11. Talk about holiday cheer.

It abounds. ‘Tis the season.

Image Credit: Twitter

10. No one skips a bonus round.

At least, they shouldn’t.

Image Credit: Twitter

Image Credit: Twitter

Image Credit: Twitter

Royalties or something.

Image Credit: Twitter

4. I do love me some cake bagels.

Anything called a bagel must be delicious.

Image Credit: Twitter

3. I feel like the pickles should be the weird limes.

But that’s a quibble.

Image Credit: Twitter

2. Even if you enjoy crafts, you probably don’t want to argue.

It looks like crap exploded in there.

Image Credit: Twitter

1. She’s got the vaguely threatening tone down.

That’s the most important part of branding.

Image Credit: Twitter

My 3yo calls “yesterday” “last day,” which I love and will not correct.

What’s your favorite “wrong” word your child says or said? Tell us in the comments!
