We Can't Stop Laughing at These Kids' Hilarious Homework Blunders

After a long day of school — whether virtual or in-person — the idea of homework can drain the life out of both parents and children (but mostly parents, obviously). Kids will be kids though, so even in something as mundane as homework, children somehow find a way to make us laugh uncontrollably.

Whether they were due to hilarious spelling errors, kid-drawings that could be interpreted as, um, other (inappropriate) things, or just the ol' Common Core blunder , the following homework assignments failed so hard that we can't stop laughing.

Confusing Common Core

We're as stumped about Common Core as this kiddo was.

Literal Interpretation

I mean, it says "draw a picture."

Follows Directions Well

Also very literally.

Friends For the Win

That's an A+ in girl power right there.

Capitals and Punctuation

Looks like Lola deserves an A for this one!

Show Your Thinking

Well, he did , didn't he?

Natural Resources Problem Solving

This is conservation at its finest.

Stray Doodles

He just wanted to represent the number four with the very best gingerbread men he could draw.

Holy Homework

A strong ego, for sure.

Simple Subtraction

Open-ended response.

"Eating bacon!"

What Makes You Happy?

Hot cockolate — erm, chocolate — makes us happy, too.

Show How You Know the Answer

Why have three rainbows when you could have 10?

Multiple Choice

We think that this is a perfectly acceptable answer regarding tornado safety.

Alphabetical Order

You've really got to specify further on these things.

I Like Fractioned Butts and I Cannot Lie

Anything that is naturally split in half is made for fractions, no?

What a Disaster

Hey, we think a Sharknado is a disaster for sure.

Reality Check

This kid is going to be a small circle of friends kind of person . . .

Stuck on an Island

That's some serious (dark) thinking ahead.
