Being the parent of a young child is always bound to bear its fair share of surprises.
With some luck, they’re the kind of surprises that bring us a rare kind of joy, the moments in which kids do something so unexpected that it leaves us holding our sides with laughter.
These unintentionally hilarious kids have a way of showing us all just how funny their innocent and genuine worldviews can be to an older eye, especially when it’s caught on camera.
1. Thinking Outside The Box
Picture the following scenario. You’re out for a stroll, enjoying a breath of fresh air, when you are suddenly beset with an attack of fatigue, and it hits hard.
It will take a while to get home, and you’re too tired to think. How do you come up with a solution?

This picture proves how hilarious kids can be when thinking creatively. The little girl was tired and had a lie-down on the cement, but it was too hard.
Equipped with chalk and a great imagination, however, she decided to MacGyver herself the perfect pillow. Just don’t disturb her, she’s dreaming!
2. Master Of Disguise
To win a good game of hide-and-go-seek, one must not just find the proper hiding place and commit to it. One must master the arts of silence and stealth, blending into the surroundings if necessary.
Of course, children of a certain age might have some slightly unorthodox tactics.

During this little tyke’s playtime, he apparently decided that if he couldn’t see the person looking for him, then surely it worked both ways, and they couldn’t see him: out of sight, out of mind.
And because the chair’s seat has matching upholstery, surely he must have thought that he’d camouflaged just perfectly. Wonder if they noticed?
3. Pink Power
Many little girls develop an early fascination with all things sparkly and pink, particularly if it has to do with beautiful princesses or delicate fairies.
But some feisty young rebels are just built differently and march to the beat of their own drum. Sometimes, breaking the system is best done from within.

This girl made the bold choice that being a gorgeous fairy princess, wings, tiara, and all, was simply not satisfying enough for her. Seen boldly brandishing her fierce sword, it’s clear that she truly is a warrior queen in the making.
Let’s just hope she reigns in the name of justice and fairness.
4. Leader Of The Pack
As the old adage goes, there’s no use crying over spilled milk. And while young children do indeed have a tendency to burst into tears over the most seemingly mundane things possible, this little one had a more progressive approach.
She decided to make the best out of a sticky situation and the results were pure Internet gold.

Growing up in a household with pets is a great way for a child to get a whole new set of friends. Of course, there is the risk that they might start rubbing off on each other — and this girl is no exception!
If her furry pals were doing it, then surely it was okay! Kitty see, kitty do.
5. An Unforgettable Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day is a big deal even for the youngest child. They take great delight in letting their mommy know just how much she is loved, and want to contribute to giving her a day of pampering and showering of gifts.
Of course, any great Mother’s Days starts with breakfast in bed.

However, it would appear that the mom who received this basket of raw escargot got way more of a surprise than she’d bargained for.
Embodying all that is genuine, innocent and bizarrely hilarious, the loving child behind this gift oozing with love thought snails were cool, and therefore, by extension, thought so would Mom!
We’re sure she was (not so) pleasantly surprised.
