"I was picking up my son from kindergarten when I noticed that all of the kids leaving his class had mustaches drawn on their faces. I then noticed my son sitting at a table, looking sad, with a huge handlebar mustache drawn on his face. Turns out he'd gotten in trouble for starting 'the mustache club' and drawing mustaches on his classmates with a marker (some by force)."

—Kyli Jo Crawford

4. Worms, worms, worms.

—Candace H.

8. "She spent the next two months..."

MGM

"I'd put my one-and-a-half-year-old son on the counter next to a brand new Costco-sized margarine tub as I prepped some toast. I turned around for a second to look for my butter knife, and when I looked back my son had put BOTH of his hands into the margarine and was rubbing it all over his face and body."

When I called for him, he reappeared with his hand over one eye, pretending to stagger, and yelling, 'MY EYE! THAT LADY TOOK MY EYE!' I was mortified. P.S His eye was fine."

13. "Her real parents were in the mountains."

15. "Steve."

Disney/Pixar

"My four-year-old son recently started having an imaginary friend, Steve. Steve constantly needs his hand held when we go to the store or cross the road. This, of course, just looks like my son with his arm out.

One day a person 'ran into' Steve and 'hurt' him so badly that my son had a breakdown in the middle of an aisle. He was still screaming to get Steve a doctor by calling 911 while I was taking him out of the store."

—Victoria Olson

27. "What bean?!"

"My four-year-old son put a dry bean in his ear at preschool. (They were making a craft with them.) He thought he was going to get in trouble once he realized it was stuck, so he didn't tell anyone. A month after school was over he sneezed and said the bean was hurting his ear. I said, 'What bean?!' One pediatrician visit and a referral to an ear, nose, and throat doctor later, the bean was safely removed. My child lived with a bean in his ear, at best guess, for two and a half months."

—Vanessa Vazquez

28. Licking leaves.

29. "...for absolutely no reason..."

ABC

"We were visiting my mother-in-law in the hospital and went to grab a bite to eat in the hospital cafeteria. My three-year-son, for absolutely no reason, suddenly stopped eating, looked up at a nurse walking by, and ran his finger across his throat (the off with your head motion). He then smiled and went back to eating like nothing had happened."
