Parents Shared the 25 Most Ridiculous Interactions They Had With 10-Year-Olds and We Can’t Stop Laughing
Every year of a child's life brings new experiences, interests and opportunities for growth and development. These changes bring with them new challenges and sources of entertainment for their parents. Having completed a decade on the planet, 10-year-old kids demonstrate a rare level of swag and our interactions with them leave us amused and perplexed. One wonders what they particularly observe and how they learn to think in ways we haven't thought of before. We were ten too but we don't remember having this much swag. When things get more amusing, many parents of 10-year-olds take to Twitter to vent and share some hilarious anecdotes. Here are 25 of the most ridiculous interactions with 10-year-olds that will definitely leave you entertained.

I get it.
7. Well well
My sister: *saying what name she has picked out for her baby*
— Jessie (@mommajessiec) September 3, 2022
My 10-year-old, in no uncertain terms telling her not to name her baby that: I met a horse with that name.

“I don’t have time for this.” -my 10yo when I surprised him by stopping at the park on the way home

10yo: *walks into room and tosses keys at me* You left these in the door again. *sits down* what are we talking about?
Me: Well, first of all...Nothing.
11. Mommers level
My 10yo is too old to call me “Mommy” and isn’t quite ready to graduate to full-on “Mom,” so she’s taken to calling me “Mommers” and I quite like it as a transitional name.
— SpacedMom (@copymama) September 25, 2020
12. R rated masterpieces
My son is 10 and I let him watch some non-kid shows with me. Any time someone swears he must comment, “did they say SHIT?” “Yes.” “Did they say DAMN?” “Yep!” “Did they say HELL?” “Obviously.” Then he nods, impressed and awed, like he’s taking in a masterpiece at the Louvre.

Me: Wow. This song is really old.

Me: take out the trash please
— Marcy G (@BunAndLeggings) December 10, 2021
10yo: like on a date?
Kid's got jokes
15. Could be both
I can’t tell if my 10yo doesn’t remember to do basic things I’ve told him to do 100 times because he has ADHD or just because he’s 10.
— Dad and Buried (@DadandBuried) August 28, 2021

10: I did. The song is just a banger.
17. Rule maker not breaker

23. Don't need any repair
10 year old’s watch broke.
— threetimedaddy with invisible blue tick (@threetimedaddy) December 6, 2019
It can’t be repaired.
We buy EXACTLY the same watch again.
10yo cries for half an hour because it’s not his broken watch.
Parenting is hard.
