Ever wondered what would have happened if kids will write screenplays? Brutally honest, funny, sometimes naive screenplays? Well, a new Facebook page called Kids R the best screenwriters takes real quotes from real kids, present them as scenes from a play and adds brilliant illustrations to add some extra fun.
Here are some of the best quotes we found there, you are more than welcome to send them you kid (or grandson) quote and be featured there.
As most parents know, putting kids to bed is hardly a walk in the park. For some reason, they'll find every excuse under the sun to stay awake (until they become teenagers and then sleep is all they do) and make your life a misery while they do it. One mom and professor at Duke Divinity School, Kate Bowler, tweeted all of the delaying tactics of her six-year-old son Zach, who for 30 days straight tried to keep his mom in the room longer than usual after getting tucked in by asking questions. Here are some of his funniest ones.
Why is it that some things are only done by moms and no one else? Whether it's not knowing how to use technology, being obsessed with cleanliness, or still treating their adult kids like young children, somehow moms are funniest when they don't even mean to be. Here are some of the relatable "mom-things" kids have seen their moms doing and we're feeling all of these.
Casey Drake, a Florida mom has found a way to spread smiles and positivity amongst her community by creating cartoon masterpieces on her sidewalk using chalk. Her creations show the well-known Disney, Pixar, and other iconic characters safely practicing and coping with social distancing. "Laughter is the best medicine, and we can all use a little bit of humor right now I think," she said in an interview with WKMG. Her messages touch on things we've all felt and can relate to during the pandemic; from Dorothy from The Wizzard of Oz's classic line of "there's no place like home", to Robin getting a little too close to Batman. Check out her gorgeous creations below!
An Instagram account called Kids Are The Worst was started by mom Anna Macfarlane, who is showing the not-so-glamorous side of being an insta-mom. Using the tagline "It's ok to laugh. You were the worst once, too", Anna shows that sometimes the only thing to do when your kids are being terrors is to just laugh, or else you'll probably cry. Using pictures of old classical art, she puts her own relatable captions on them, which will make all parents feel less alone in the wonderful journey that is parenthood.

This moms allowance method for her kids is serious mom goals and weren't totally not surprised that it went viral.
Meet Shaketha Marion McGregor, a single mother of three (Jahkeem, 13, Takeia, 10, and Serinity, 6), who has a unique system when it comes to getting things done around the house! A system in which she creates all the household jobs that are in need of hiring, and lists them as 'open positions'. There's even a resume and interview process!
This mom has thought things through! With a hiring board that's filled with open positions the kids could apply for, they fill out their resumes (including how much they want to be paid for the position), and then have to ace that interview with the boss (aka mom).
This is simply brilliant for so many reasons. Instead of handing out allowance due to constant nagging from her kids, McGregor is insisting life-long lessons in the value of money, and how the real world works.
In an interview with Today, McGregor shared insight to her process, "One of the things I asked was, 'When can you start?' Serinity said she could start right away and my 13-year-old needed a few days because he wanted to hang out with his friends. She was far more professional."
She also added that Jahkeem, her son, had some excellent and important questions, "He wanted to know if I was taking out taxes and how much."
And her 10-year-old, Takeia, took a different route during the interview process, she spoke with an "exaggerated British accent" during her interview. "I think she thought it made her sound more polished and desirable," McGregor said. "She really thought it would help her."
Honestly, this looks like something all future parents should practice at home and we, personally, wish that we had this invaluable experience when we were growing up. Then, maybe we would've aced a lot more of those resumes and interviews.
All in all, this mom is killing it. You can follow McGregor at This Mom Means Business Inc..
