Adults put a lot of effort into being funny. They try to impress their friends with clever jokes, spend hours perfecting their stand-up routines, and some even make millions making others laugh. But the thing is, none of them quite compare to the natural comedic talent that children seem to have.
Below, we’ve rounded up hilarious antics kids have gotten up to, much to their parents’ amusement. These little ones certainly have a way of turning even the most ordinary situations into pure entertainment. Scroll down to check out the posts and upvote your favorites!
By the time we reach adulthood, many of us have become far more careful about what we say and how we behave. We worry about what others think of us, and the fear of looking foolish can make us less willing to act silly.
In fact, research on adult playfulness suggests that concerns about appearing immature or irresponsible can discourage adults from being playful. Eventually, all that self-consciousness can make it harder to be as spontaneous and carefree as we were as kids.
#24 My Little Guy Firmly Believes That If He Lifts Something “High” Above His Head, We Cannot Reach It
I wanted to make a demonstration of this, so when I found him playing with a toy, I pretended that I wanted to take it.
I chased him all over the place, and he screamed and laughed and ran away from me.
Each time I got him cornered though, he would lift his hands above his head, looking at me victoriously.
Because obviously, if he lifts the toy THAT HIGH, no one could possibly reach it.

Perhaps that’s why we could all benefit from channeling our inner child a little more often. There’s something wonderful about being able to laugh at the most ridiculous things without worrying about what anyone else thinks.
Of course, growing up comes with responsibilities, and we can’t always be as easygoing as we once were. But making a little more room for silliness in our lives certainly wouldn’t hurt. After all, who says having fun is just for kids?
#25 My 3-Year-Old Truly Believes That An Ice Pack Can Make Anything Better
He had a nightmare a few nights ago, and woke up crying. I went to comfort him, but he was horribly upset and wouldn’t stop screaming. Then suddenly it occurred to me that I might offer him an ice pack. He immediately agreed that that would make him feel better, and stopped crying as soon as I left to go get him the ice pack.
By the time I returned with the ice pack, he was already sound asleep.

#27 Feathers Grow In Pillows So The Birds Can Wear Them
Recently my 3-year-old was playing on a chair in his room and found a small feather poking out of the cushion, as sometimes happens. I asked him about it, and he explained to me that “feathers grow in pillows.”
I asked, “But what about birds?”
Then he elaborated, “Feathers grow in pillows so the birds can wear them.”

#28 We've Been Ordering A Lot From Amazon — So Much So That My 2-And-A-Half-Year-Old Believes That He Came To Us From Amazon, Too
We have now started talking to him about bringing him a sibling. He is convinced that by saying that, we mean we are going to ‘order it from Amazon’ (his favourite phrase these days).
So I guess he believes Amazon is the modern day stork?

#30 My 3-Year-Old Son Has Dinosaur-Themed Sheets And Pillows On His Bed Because, Well, He Loves Dinosaurs
A few weeks ago, he woke up crying that his ears hurt. He had a cold and, as it turned out, a bad ear infection. I took him to the pediatrician, who asked him, 'Well, buddy, what do you think happened?' My son very somberly said, 'Well, two of the dinosaurs on my pillow had a fight, and one of them decided to run off the pillow and hide in my ear. Unfortunately, it was the Stegosaurus, so his big spikes are poking me inside.'

#31 Needs Batteries
When my son's electronic toys stopped working, i explained they needed batteries. It seemed like he understood what that meant because he would hand me the toy and wait for me to install fresh batteries. If I did not have batteries, he would accept that and play with something else. One morning he was using crayons to draw. When he took the very, very light blue crayon out of the box and tried to draw with it, the color barely registered on the paper. He looked at me and said, 'Needs batteries.'

#32 My Little Sister Used To Believe That Her Mom Was A Cat And That Mommy Cat Wanted To Take Her Back
I have no idea how she ended up believing that but it probably started with our mom telling her to stop crying because the mommy cat will hear her and take her from us.
My sister believed this all through out her toddler years and she would panic at the sight of a cat nearby.
In fact, even as a teenager she's still afraid of cats.

She is in kindergarten and loves to draw solar system in her drawings and knows the names and basic characterstics of planets in our solar system.

#36 Winter Is Over And I Haven’t Seen A Single Penguin
We’re driving down the country road through orchards and pointing out the signs of Spring. Flower buds on the apple trees, furry creatures gnawing on soft new greenery; one of my older kids asked “so winter is over?” I answered “yes, in just a few days it will officially be Spring. My 3 year old begins to sob in her car seat. “What’s wrong, sweetie?” She takes a deep breath and sniffles a little before responding “winter is over and I haven’t seen a single penguin.”

#37 That Worms Need A Pre-Fishing Pep Talk
We went fishing with my toddler at about 3, and after learning about fish, worms, hooks and the like she looks deeply contemplative and serious for a few minutes. I actually thought she might be upset about the idea at first. Then she looks at the worm on the hook of her cute little Disney Frozen fishing pole and says sternly to the worm:
“Be Brave.”
Then plunk, she tosses it into the water without a second thought.
We’ve never laughed so hard. She still loves fishing to this day. :)
