22 Nosy Parents Who Got More Than They Bargained For While Digging Through Kids’ Rooms

My daughter once hid eggs, flour and sugar so she had an emergency pancake stash.
She brought it out when she asked her grandma if they could make pancakes and they didn't have any flour or eggs. She was 4 years old at the time.

Kittens. Her dolls got kicked out of their dream house so the kittens could have their own rooms.

Over the years I've found many weird things in my son's room (he's now 13). A few of them are: A jar of urine, a blowtorch, a utility knife, various hunting knives (many of these were stolen from my dad's house), toothpaste smeared all over his walls and shelves.

Rice. My 6 yo son was hiding rice in his closet.

My sister and I shared a bedroom. My dad built us these beautiful beds with dresser drawers in the bottom. One day I was studying in my room with my friend and we heard a strange noise coming from my sister's bed. It was a baby mockingbird. It was all cute and scraggly and chripping...and then...its beak caught on a sock and it broke its neck right in front of us.

Another time, my mom found a bowl of dirt in our room. She asked my sister why there was a bowl of dirt in our room. "Oh no!" she cried, "my worms escaped!".

I enjoyed my son's mix and match lego man collection. Harry Potter with a Darth Vader head was the first thing to make me smile all day.

We are not religious, but we got a nativity scene as a gift we put out for Christmas.

My daughter, who turned 5 yesterday, has been taking the baby Jesus and hiding him in the 2nd drawer of her dresser under her pajamas.

This is the 3rd year this has been happening and she still does it. She has no answers or excuses.

A dictionary under her pillow. Her reasoning? She could learn in her sleep.

I am actually the proud father of quadruplets (four girls). A few years ago when they were 7 years old i found a small selection of rare katana swords, elite combat knives and ninja throwing stars in a shared walk-in wardrobe belonging to two of my girls. The swords were mounted. It was an immaculate collection and actually looked pretty amazing when i look back but at the time i was confused and disturbed. Now none of the girls have shown any proclivity towards traditional oriental combat techniques, whether armed or unarmed. They enjoy dance, socialising and One Direction. All the girls deny any knowledge of how they got there and it remains a mystery to this day.

Pentagram drawn on a piece of paper and my name scrawled next to it.

When I came back from college I slept in my old room which is now my parent's office. Every morning bright and early my mom or dad was in there and began clicking away on the keyboard like a cat pawing at a mouse. One day two of my sisters came in as well to check out something on the computer with my mom. Then my dog came in and stuck her nose in between my mattress and boxspring and pulled a weeks worth of fapkins out and starting eating them. I thought my mom was going to throw up.

Was looking for something in my son's room. Found out that he's been stashing rocks in the bottom drawer of his dresser. As in rocks he found in the garden (he's only 7). Explanation: "They're interesting". Maybe he wants to be a geologist some day.

A copy of twilight. He swears his girlfriend gave it to him and he never touched it.

A piece of toast was under my cousins bed... I just picked it up, looked at it then put it back.

When my son was 11, we found a wet diaper in his cupboard.
He claimed he found it outside when we asked him about it.

Books glued to the window.

The booger wall.

When Peggy mentioned Bobby's on King of the Hill, my daughter almost died of embarrassment.

My 10 year old had a pillow that was stuffed with ladies underwear not sure where he got it all from he had at least 20 pairs of it in the pillow case.

She stole the eggs out of my fridge and proceeded to "cook" with them. Found them in her little play oven in a pot, none of them broke. That's my girl.

In elementary and middle school my sister had a thing with tape. She put hundreds of strips on the underside of all our furniture. We still have no trouble finding strips if we look.
