Children are hilarious. But unless you work with them directly, there’s a chance that you only get to experience your own children’s brand of humor. Thankfully with the help of social media, specifically TikTok, we get to see the hilarious things other people’s kids are doing.
And with all the less-than-pleasant stuff going on in the world, these videos really have the potential to not only give us a good chuckle but brighten our days. Check out some of the cutest kids who went viral this past year.
Toddler Struggles With Stranger Danger Concept
It’s vitally important to warn your children about the dangers of strangers. But this little girl proved it’s easier said than done. If strangers are offering things like puppy visits and candy, you have to be trained to say no. While it took this baby a while, she eventually got the lesson.
The 3-Year-Old Math Genius
Izzy has the ability to understand complex math concepts at a level and depth many of us adults will never understand. Watching him solve various math problems is not only aspirational, but he looks so cute doing it. It might inspire you to get your kids a whiteboard of their own. Just know that it might not produce the same type of math genius.
Toddler Spots His Doppelgänger
Stumbling across someone who looks just like you can be a trippy experience at any age. So when young Carter saw an image that looked eerily like him in Walmart, his mother had a hard time convincing him he wasn't staring at himself. We're not sure if he ever believed her.
The Toddler With Strong Opinions
One of the most amazing things about raising children is watching their personalities emerge. And when they do come out, they are often strong. This video montage of a toddler expressing his likes, dislikes, and hard nos, is hilarious because it reminds us that kids have minds of their own and they're not afraid to share it.
The Kid With the Unusual Halloween Costume Request
As the little ones are developing their language skills, it can be challenging to understand what they’re saying. It’s especially frustrating for them. They know exactly what they mean and you just don’t get it. When one mom finally figured out that her son wanted to be a Quetzalcoatlus, an actual dinosaur, for Halloween, he exclaimed, “That’s what I’m talking about!” clear as day.
The Kid Who Wouldn't Share Her Cookie But Offered An Alternative
Parenting experts go back and forth about sharing. Should you force your child to do it or do they have the right to keep some things to themselves? Willow was quick to exercise her agency in telling her mom she had no intention of sharing her cookie. But she was kind enough to offer a substitute: plastic broccoli.
The Guilty Cookie Cruncher
Who can resist a warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie? Very few of us. And certainly not little ones. Farris just couldn't help herself. And when she was caught red-handed standing on a stool to reach the cookie on the counter, she tried her best to deny it. She got rid of the evidence and then offered a strong denial. After some prodding though, she eventually came clean.
The Girl Who Knows Exactly What She Wanted
Far too many women of our generation have left the beauty shop dissatisfied. Because we were trained not to be difficult, we didn't say anything. It seems that Miss Harmony won't have that problem at all. When her mother didn't follow instructions about her hairstyle, she was quick to correct her. You've got to love a girl who refuses to settle.
The Inquisitive Big Sister
You never know how an older sibling will take the news of a new addition to the family. When 3-year-old Blakely learned of her mom's pregnancy she was excited but also curious. She immediately wanted to know if it was a boy or a girl. She wanted to know if the baby was going to come out when it was big. And then the dreaded question, how did the baby get in there in the first place …
The High-Heeled Dashing Diva
There’s something so adorable about watching children dress up in adult clothing. It reminds us of their smallness. Cuteness overload. For this little girl though, her ability to walk and even run in high heels, was not only precious, it was impressive considering many grown women can’t do the same.
The Little Environmentalist
Whitney Houston told us the children are our future. That’s certainly true for little Levi. When he stumbled upon litter, he was quick to let his feelings be known. “That makes me so mad,” he said before offering a lesson on proper disposal protocols.
Justice for Aiden
Baby Aiden had the whole internet rushing to his defense. When his cousin bit him Aiden played it cool at first. But eventually he got fed up and picked up a plastic chair to retaliate. The adults chastised him but many wondered why the biter got away scot-free.
The Boy With the Broken Cheeseburger
Some of us are very particular about our food, and that includes presentation. Grayson’s mom cut his burger into small sections for easier chewing, and he was not happy. Hopefully, mom learned from this serious faux pas.
The Girl Who Called Her Mom a 'Yucky Cow Mother'
This 5-year-old was breastfed as a newborn. But times have changed. And when her mother bribed her (with ice cream) to drink her milk, Summer did her best to avoid it. She played with a pencil, plugged her nose, and tried to strike up an unrelated conversation. When she finally did it, she was not pleased. In a follow up video, complete with commentary, Summer dubbed her mom a "yucky cow mother."
The Sandwich Connoisseur
There’s something so loving about taking the time to prepare and pack a lunch for your child. Not only do you know what they’re eating when they’re away from you, it’s another way to remind your kid that you care. But what happens when the lunch you packed isn’t what your kid wanted?
One kindergartener went viral after he told his mother exactly what he thought about her sandwich: Terrible. While it wasn’t the nicest or most appreciative moment his honesty and matter-of-factness had the internet cracking up.
This little guy originally went viral on Instagram a few years back, but this year, he was all over TikTok as well.
