16+ Kids Who Proved To Their Parents That They Are Worthy Opponents
Parenting is a full-time job, especially during the early years. Still, some kids manage to make that full-time job feel like it's constantly in the 12th hour of overtime with no holidays on the horizon.
These kids have proven to their parents that they are not so easily entertained and always going to keep things interesting.

Then he tells us he lost the tooth, next night there is money under his pillow.
