Times parents Didn't Know Whether to Giggle or Cry

Kids are pretty adorable.

Well, that is, some of the time.

Hate to break it to you, but for the most part

Kids are little bundles of terror.

Don't believe me?

Well, stay tuned.

Seriously.

From monumental messes

to getting stuck in the oddest of places

to rack up sky-high credit card bills.

Here are some moments where parents

didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

(bright music)

Kids are constantly getting themselves

into all kinds of trouble.

And I'm a man of justice

which is why I've taken the liberty

of creating my own court of justice

where I'll be weeding out the guilty and not guilty.

So without further ado, order in the court,

order in the court.

All right first up, we have a mother

accusing her son, Jace, of taking snacks

without her permission.

The defendant has pleaded not guilty

but I'll be the judge of that.

Jace, did you or did you not take snacks without permission?

- No.

- [Mother] No, you didn't have a snack?

- I did not have a snack.

- [Mother] Are you lying to me?

- I'm not lying.

- [Mother] You didn't have candy?

- I do not have candy.

- [Mother] No, you didn't have candy?

- I did not.

- [Mother] What I tell you about lying to mommy?

- You don't like liars?

- [Mother] So are you lying?

- Yeah.

- [Mother] You had candy, right?

Hmm?

- I don't know if I did.

- [Mother] You don't know if you did? You lying again?

- No.

- [Mother] You had candy, Jace.

- [Narrator] Okay, Jace, no further questions.

Based on what I've heard,

not to mention the mysterious blue stain

that is present around your mouth,

I hereby find you guilty of first degree snack theft

and you are therefore sentenced to life on the naughty step.

Take him away, boys.

Next up we have another case of snack thievery.

Tyrell Fulwood, a father from North Carolina,

is here today to try and prove that it was in fact

his son TJ who ate the cupcakes.

Now, Mr. Fulwood, I believe you've brought video evidence

of the crime scene with you?

Let's review the footage.

- No, no. - [Father] Who did this TJ?

- No, no, no, no.

- [Father] Did you do this?

- No. - [Father] Huh?

- No.

- [Father] You didn't do this, TJ?

- [Child] Yes you did.

- [Father] Who got them cupcakes, TJ?

- No.

- [Father] Did you do it?

- No.

- [Father] You didn't do this?

- No.

- [Father] You sure? This is your last chance.

- No. - [Father] Are you sure?

Did you do it?

- No. - [Child] Yes.

- [Father] So you didn't push this chair over here,

climb on there and get them cupcakes?

- No.

- [Narrator] Hm. In all my minutes

of being a courtroom judge,

I have never seen someone looking quite so guilty.

TJ, do you have any other defense?

- No.

- [Narrator] Well, then this court finds you guilty

of first degree snack theft.

(gavel strikes) Next!

Okay, it says here we have five year old Nala-Joy from Texas

who is here to sue her mother, Miss Shaakira Brandon

on account of being a secret space alien.

Now, Nala-Joy, would you please come to the stand

and tell us why you believe your mother

Is he an undercover alien?

And please remember, you're under oath.

- [Mother] Why are you crying?

(Nala-Joy sobs)

And what do you think that means about me?

- You're an alien!

(mother laughs)

- [Mother] Mommy, look, look, look.

It's not mean I'm an alien.

These are the places that mommy has traveled to

and this is just a picture of the earth as I travel.

Are you scared of mommy now?

Come here.

- [Narrator] So let me get this straight.

You saw a picture of the earth from space

in your mother's passport

and assumed this meant she was an alien.

Well, based on the evidence provided,

I really have no other option than to declare the defendant

guilty of being an undercover alien.

Kid logic prevails.

All right, court adjourned for today,

but rest assured, today's venture

through shocking moments of kid chaos

is only just beginning.

Having children sure isn't cheap.

In fact, in the US, the average price

Just delivering a baby can cost upwards of $10,800.

And raising it to adulthood costs an unbelievable $300,000

in total, according to the Brookings Institution.

But the cost of feeding, clothing, educating

and enriching a child is just the tip of the iceberg

and that is, if they get their grubby little mitts

on your Amex card.

Allow me to explain.

2020 wasn't exactly an incredible year for anyone,

though it was especially tough for one Australian family

when their six-year-old son Kristian,

accidentally made a few in-app purchases

using their bank card.
