Parents film reaction of kids when told "I ate your Halloween candy" - warning, lots of crying
Edited on Thu Nov-03-11 01:55 PM by Liberal_in_LA
the kids at the end are hilarious. "you sneaky mom!"

Kids go crazy when told “I ate all your Halloween candy”

What six words can send children everywhere over the edge? After watching this video, the obvious answer to that question is when parents simply tell them “I ate all your Halloween candy.”

ABC host Jimmy Kimmel asked his viewers earlier this week to film their children’s reactions after hearing those tragic six words. After quite a few parents around the country uploaded their sons’ and daughters’ greatest moments of despair to youtube, Kimmel showed the best clips on his show last night.

Before airing the clips, Kimmel warned, “I guess I didn’t expect so much crying.”

27. Kinda like when I joked to my roommate...
Kinda like when I joked to my roommate I smoked all his weed the weekend he was out some years ago. His reaction would have been a priceless addition to America's Silliest Videos.

11. Disneyland
"One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. "Oh, no," I said. "Disneyland burned down." He cried and cried, but I think that deep down, he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late." - Jack Handy

:rofl: thanks, I needed that!


and yes, sometimes a good parental gotcha is really classic...we just didn't have the video capability back when i was a victim of it. But as a parent, it is a tradition of messing with my kids they can pass on to their own ;)

LOL--if he doesn't have a peanut allergy, he probably won't fall for that--Reese's are pretty much
the Halloween Holy Grail. I should add that in my own Halloween thefts, I initially made the mistake of not admitting to my boys that I had taken some candy while they were at school, so they accused each other of raiding each others' bags and then walloped the shit out of each other. Best to be upfront about it, at any rate.

18. HAHA This is why it's probably best I'm not a parent
If I had two kids I think I'd spend most of my time playing them against each other.

WHERE DID MY CANDY GO?!?

"Did you ask your brother...?"

21. Last year I had a bit too much out of my daughter's stash.
I replaced it, but she was still very worked up about the whole thing. A few days prior to Halloween, she started talking about me not being allowed to eat any of her candy. The morning after Halloween, her mom went into her room to put out her clothes and she woke up. Immediately after waking up, the first words to come out of her mouth were: "Mommy, did you hide my candy so daddy can't get it?". She doesn't want to leave anything up to chance now.

14. They are so mean!!!! Bastards!!
My parents never took my halloween candy, but they took toys away from me and gave them to other people.

The result is that I freaked out when I was at one of those stupid white elephant giveaway things, where you can be greedy and take other peoples' stuff away.

I'm sure the hostess thought I was freaked out and crying to get attention. I was embarrassed and stressed and attention was the last thing I wanted. I got up and ran in the house.

And it was three years later that I figured out why I freaked out!!

17. I don't know,
my daughter always came home and separated her candy into piles. Piles of some for me, some for Dad and some for her. She would pick out what she knew were my favorites and put those in my pile, Dad'd favorites in his pile and the rest she'd take and put away. I didn't teach her this, she just did it. I think it's because she didn't really care for candy, she'd much rather have cake or cookies.

30. How to completely destroy the trust your kids have in you.
I will never forget the time that the nuns in my children's kindergarten invited Saint Nicholas to come. My youngest -- four at the time -- was quite excited. When I picked her up after kindergarten, she looked solemn and very troubled.

"It wasn't the real Saint Nicholas," she said.

Seems the nuns had hired someone to come in, put the Saint Nicholas costume on in front of the children and then hand out the candy.

What a dumb idea. Why destroy a kid's joy?

35. Mean people suck.
Even when they are parents. I see a lot of that these days, on shows like "America's Funniest Videos" -- parents being purposely mean to their kids, thinking it's funny. :(

37. Stupid and cruel parents are not funny.
Mike Judge had it right in the movie "Idiocracy".

He didn't call it "America's Funniest Videos". He called it "Ow! My Balls!".



My former mother-in-law was tickling my former husband. She told me to join in. I told her she was evil, cruel and sadistic, and it was not funny.

People who tickle are REALLY REALLY SICK.
