Children are funny because, let’s face it, children are dumb. It’s not that they’re stupid, per say, it’s just that they don’t know any better. And their “not knowing any better” status oftentimes produces some pretty funny results. Kids are constantly falling, constantly losing their shit, constantly repeating that their dad is sleeping on the couch, that their mom had to cut up her credit cards, and that their sister failed out of college. Seriously, children are like miniature comedians…just without the dark, horrific pasts and nicotine addictions.

In what might be the funniest video currently circulating the web, some little wise guy is trying to show how much of a big kid he is by running up a slide. Instead of magically becoming potty trained while simultaneously getting his driver’s licence once he reaches the top, however, this know-it-all runs face first into a pole and quite literally bounces backward. His mother filmed the whole thing through her fits of laughter. Parenting at its finest, ladies and gentlemen.
