The world of adults is strange and mysterious to children, but above all it is boring. You can be the most important person in the world, but all your child sees is someone on their phone. It’s pretty hilarious how their perspective can break down anyone’s ego in seconds flat. Twitter user @LadyBugAssassin shared a perfect example of how kids will make any career seem like a joke.
“My friend’s daughter was asked by her teacher what does her mother do for a living,” she wrote. “Miss thing said move papers around and talk on the phone. My friend is a judge.”
This was followed by several laugh-crying emojis.
That’s pretty funny and there was story after story in the replies exactly like it. The kids are out here humbling us all. Here’s how they really see you:

My dad paints houses for a living but when my sister was younger she found out that was code for “kills people” (like the movie the Irishman) and started telling people that’s what he did instead for like a year…

Could be worse… for years I told people my mom was a smuggler. She was a travel writer who would bring fun things home from her trips, then (after using those things for years) sell some of them.
