Kids have a way of flipping the script, leaving parents both impressed and speechless.
One dad shared how his son invented a “surprise dessert” and managed to enjoy extra treats for months without either parent realizing they’d been tricked. Another parent laughed when their child turned “only a spoonful” of ice cream into an excuse to pull out the biggest spoon in the house.
And then there’s Lily, a 6-year-old who refuses to brush her teeth without a deal. When her mom offered a trip to the park, Lily tried to negotiate a written contract promising seven trips for a week of brushing.
From clever loopholes to bold negotiations, these stories show that kids may be small, but their quick thinking makes them natural little comedians.
