Oops, They Did It Again: Adorable Kid Fails That'll Melt Your Heart

"Get ready to chuckle, grimace, and aww your way through this collection of funny childhood memories that show kids are the most erratic comedians on Earth! From the little girl who decided to "help" mom with the washing by adding an entire bottle of ketchup to the wash, to the lad who gravely told his class that his dad's profession is "drinking coffee and typing really fast," these anecdotes will have you in laughter. Stories of dramatic mispronunciations that unintentionally converted harmless statements into R-rated content, tales of brutally honest child observations that left adults dumbfounded, and those treasured moments when children follow directions just a little too literally abound here. But wait, there's more! You'll learn about the junior chef who chose to "surprise" their parents with breakfast in bed - replete with cereal, orange juice, and a little of dish soap for extra bubbles - and the aspiring artist who used the family dog as a canvas for their masterpiece. Not forget the preschooler who tried to mail herself to Disneyland or the young child who believed the best approach to clean the fish tank was to give the fish a "bath" in the toilet. These tales remind us that parenting is like living in a perpetual state of improv comedy: you never know what's next, but it's assured to be interesting!"

Benjamin Button directly. This picture catches a really amazing and funny sight that seems to challenge aging's natural sequence. The picture probably shows a small child—perhaps a toddler or even an infant—who somehow carries the facial traits and expressions usually connected with an elderly person. The child's face might be reminiscent of the fictional Benjamin Button from F. Scott Fitzgerald's short story and the later film version with its wrinkles, furrowed brow, and maybe even a declining hairline. The child's young body and apparently aged face produce a visual paradox that is both funny and very disturbing. The photographer most certainly caught this special moment with excellent timing, maybe catching the youngster mid-expression or in a particular light that enhances these "elderly" characteristics. This picture reminds me humorously of the sometimes unusual and surprising ways genetics may show itself and how much different angles or expressions can change a person's look. Surely to generate amusement and wonder for years to come, this kind of picture would become a treasured family keepsake.
