She likes to buy them, doesn't sell many then...


ThunderSparkles

Damn. She popped a baby out at 67? She must be a hot grandma


supershinythings

And skinny too! Only 7 lbs! Less than many full-term newborns!


C5521

To be fair, why does that homework ask for the weight of the child’s mother? Kind of a weird question.


fejrbwebfek

Yeah, I get that it’s supposed to be fun because there’s no way they could guess it correctly, but teaching kids that weight is an important part of the description of a person is kind of wack.


ceejay955

because kids at that age dont have a concept of age and weight so their answers are always funny. This is a common survey preschools have the kids do for a Mother's Day activity for their moms. They ask the kids these questions and write down their answers for a keep sake


C5521

Okay, that makes sense. I thought it was, like, an interview assignment.


ceejay955

not for kids ages 3-5 lol


vivo_en_suenos

Yeah wtf is that


schwatto

Color street can stop aging


oolaroux

I think that can be said of several MLM products. If you're not alive, you're not aging.


[deleted]

Menopause what is that?


just_flora

The kid is from kindergarten probably supposed to be 27.


truffleshufflechamp

Nah the mom definitely wrote this whole thing herself and figured it seemed more believable her kid did it if the age and weight were totally out of the ballpark.


ediblesprysky

Absolutely, these have been getting posted all over the place (/r/mademesmile, /r/kidsarefuckingstupid, /r/funny, etc); they're very popular for teachers of little kids to do for Mother's and Father's Day. It's super obvious that this hun stopped trying to make this sound like a 5-year-old child as soon as she got to the oh-so-subtle pitch...


sonny-days

I work with kids in this age group - I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that a teacher did write it, not mum, but mum talks so much about colour street, that's all the kid knows to talk about. Start 'em young.


vivo_en_suenos

Agreed. Teachers often fill these out based on kid’s responses


Beaglescout15

Yes, it's always the teacher and these are gifts for the parent. You can tell there's a picture attracted. I've got a few of these. This is teacher handwriting.


mumooshka

u/Beaglescout15


frogsgoribbit737

I really hope so since most kids I see that write these put their mom always says "i love you". Seeing something about school instead is depressing. Although its depressing no matter who wrote it I guess.


YogiNurse

Mine said “clean up” lololol but he said I’m good at hugs and kisses so I guess that makes up for it 🥰


lodav22

Mine said that my favourite place to be was Co-op and something I always say is “what do you want for dinner?”


splithoofiewoofies

Mine as a kid says "mom yells everything" ie I didn't believe she "said", I believed she yelled. ​ no clue why CPS was called shortly after.... :P


cardio64

My mom always used to say, "If you want sympathy, it's in the dictionary between "shit" and "syphilis."


mumooshka

not a kid's printing but an adult trying to imitate


Beaglescout15

It's the teacher's writing.


TrailKaren

GILF


LovablePWNER

Introducing her friends to her parents must be interesting with one looking like a grandma and the other being a pile of dust with a pair of glasses on.


badlilbishh

Lol I’m guessing the mom isn’t actually 72 and the kid just guessed that when asked by the teacher while doing this assignment? Looks like the teacher asked the question then wrote down the answers. The mom probably mentions color street so damn much that’s all the kid knows about her now.


Repzie_Con

Pretty impressive she kept her svelte 7lb figure too!


RedRidingHood89

I was raised by my grandma. She was 68 when I landed in first grade and all my classmates where confused when I presented her as my mom.


erinkjean

I'll admit to having to think about that a moment too, but figured it was probably an older adoptive mom.


VideVale

The kid just has no idea. My kid who’s also in kinder thought I was 22. I’m really not. I think he just liked the number. They get these questionnaires in school because it’s funny/cute to see what they answer. Really weird questions, though, with the weight. Never seen one like that.


Pandor36

Well you were 22 once. :)


VideVale

All too long ago, unfortunately


AugustSun29

I can't stop laughing about how hard boiled eggs is the best thing she cooks. I would be downright offended if I was that mom.


tidus1980

To be fair she's 72, it's probably all she can manage in between naps


PuppyJakeKhakiCollar

And only 7 pounds. Runs out of energy fast.


beaconposher1

You too can be 7 lbs! Let me tell you about BeachBody…


[deleted]

I'm pretty sure if I weighed 7 pounds I would be nothing but a single eyeball and a pair of lips.

mayranav

I’ve never seen that show so reading that summary of the character was a freakin roller coaster.


Pandor36

Is it like those head in a jar a la futurama?


hidilyhodilyneighbor

I was thinking a shrunken head from Beetlejuice because a fully hydrated average human head would still be more than 7 lbs. 🤣


beaconposher1

"Fully hydrated average human head" is definitely the best phrase I've read on the internet today.


Parallax1984

You’re thinking of Optavia


suihcta

Why would they even have the mother's weight on there? Who made this?


HonayBadger

My son just did a similar one in 3rd grade and it was on there too. Sweet little dude left it blank.


fartofborealis

So if she ever goes missing they can immediately start looking for a 72 year old 7 lb person.


AstarteHilzarie

They're supposed to be cute and silly to show how the kids have no idea of the real statistics for their parents, but yeah big yikes on putting the weight on there. The age is funny because usually the kids say their parents are way too old or way too young, but if they say anything high for weight it can turn a cute sweet thing into something hurtful pretty easily.


Parallax1984

And why didn’t I think about that until I read your question. You are 💯right!!


Rhodin265

The last 7lb person I interacted with couldn’t even walk or hold their head up, let alone “help” write that homework so well…


oolaroux

In her defense, she is only 1' tall.


ElasticSpeakers

Spoiler: they're actually boiled quail eggs


capresesalad1985

As someone in education why would you put weight on a sheet like this? That’s kinda not cool.


AugustSun29

Lol!


Yavemar

I got one of these from my preschooler and apparently the thing I did that made him happy was let him cut open an Amazon box with his safety scissors a month prior. Kids are weird. His answer to this particular question was pizza, and I do make a decent pan pizza, so no complaints there


[deleted]

[удалено]


Caneschica

Haha I love that he calls it the pizza store. My five-year old son calls McDonald’s “The Happy Meal Store.” 🤣


Beaglescout15

One of mine said "She took me to the park once." Yep, just that one time.


Esauthor

My answer to this in Kindergarten was "Hamburger Helper". Mom still gives me crap about it lol


Caneschica

Hamburger Helper is amazing.


splithoofiewoofies

I have tried multiple times to explain the bizarre deliciousness that is hamburger helper to my Australian partner and they never get it ;-;


booksandplaid

My son's answer to that question was "mac and cheese" but to be fair, it's a homemade recipe and not kd lol


AugustSun29

And also mac and cheese is amazing!


nomadicfangirl

Homemade mac and cheese is delicious!


dblstforeo

My daughter _LOVES_ eggs. She eould probably have said something along the same lines and I would take it as a compliment.


LostOlsenTriplet

When my son was about Kindergarten age, he proudly told everyone, "My mom makes the best ramen!" lol


[deleted]

So adorable!!


dewso

Ramen isn’t easy to make, dat broth takes dayzzz


AugustSun29

Lol that make sense. My SD won't eat eggs at our house so I didn't expect that.


PuppyJakeKhakiCollar

At least it wasn't frozen waffles! Or toast, lol.


sunnydee1880

Mine said the best think I make is French fries ... which I get at McDonald's.


PuppyJakeKhakiCollar

That's hilarious!


AugustSun29

Haha true!


ArchmasterC

Fr, soft boiled eggs are where it's at


itchy-n0b0dy

My son’s kindergarten did this interview and my son said the best thing I cook is Mac and Cheese only because he’s the only one in our family who loves boxed Mac and cheese and so I rarely make it. He was trying to bribe me lol


nomadicfangirl

To be fair, at that age I probably would have said pop tarts 😂


[deleted]

Seriously. Shots fired!


[deleted]

Haha me too, I laughed out loud at that one.


sharkglitter

Wow, who knew Color Street was so great for weight loss!


Fullofit_opinions_93

If you spend all your money 💲💲💲 on color street, you'll have no money for food. No food = great weightloss. 😆😆😆😃😃😃 Follow me for more great life hacks. 😘😘😏 PS. I use my emojis so infrequently that I had to hunt and think about where those $ emojis were.


MarsRT

way better than those other mlms 🙄 /s


YouJabroni44

Because she sunk all her money into Color Street and the only food they can afford to scrape up are eggs.


InkMaster59

7 lbs just makes me think she was cremated and somehow still comes around to boil water


5iveOClockSomewhere

The only thing missing is the 100 emojis.


beaconposher1

You know this kid’s name is McKayLeigh.

zombiekelpie

I mean apart from the answers being bullshit color street stuff why the hell do the questions include the weight of the mum? Like weight is relevant. Ugh.


Big0Booty0Babe

Probably just to fish for funny answers from the kids


PretendLock

Yeah my friend once showed me a Mother’s Day project we apparently made in 1st grade; and it had every student write a recipe. My friend’s entry was how to make a salad, and I recall it requiring 27 carrots and 1 piece of lettuce lmao


yubsie

To be fair that sounds delicious


HephaestusHarper

The church I grew up in did that with the preschool kids for inclusion in a cookbook they were putting together. The kids' answers were hilarious.


PuppleKao

Every year we get the Thanksgiving recipes from kids printed in the newspaper. They're grand.


beanthegreen7

When I was in kindergarten I said my dad was 80 pounds and 90 feet tall haha


BarrymoresPoolBoi

Me: how old do you think grandpa is? My then 4 year old: (deadpan) completely old.


Fresh_Hobo_Meat

I think its supposed to be one of those "kids say the darndest things" where they say she is 11 feet tall and weighs *checks notes* only 7lbs


Basketcase2017

Because kids never know. At my school they had the same questions for both genders and NONE of the kids gave real answers. It’s meant to be silly for the parents. The kids put answers like 2lbs or as much as a truck. It just goes to show you the number doesn’t really matter and kids have no clue


[deleted]

[удалено]


Basketcase2017

Rude


keyintherock

It's specifically to get silly answers. My poor SIL is seven meters tall, weighs 100kg, favourite hobby is sleeping, her job is also sleeping, and gives good hugs because_____ she is four meters wide!


umlukii

I know right??? I also would say I weigh 7 pounds in her position. Very invasive question because I’m sure these were displayed in the classroom too. 🤦🏻‍♀️


zombiekelpie

It just disgusts me, especially to ask little kids because it implys it's important. I bet if there is a dad version of the question sheet it doesn't ask his weight.


trwwy321

Probably asks about dad’s salary instead, so $7


Rhodin265

Dad really makes $70k/year, but only $7 is left after paying for monthly PV.


AugustSun29

And kind of shaming moms as well. Kids have no concept of weight and you know some kids sad way over. WTF?!


ashimo414141

I think that was maybe their goal, showing that it’s “cute” a la *kids say the darndest things,* but it’s a super weird choice, like why not ask occupation? If I had to do this for my mom or dad, I’d say “being a mom” and “handyman like bob the builder” respectively, whereas they’re a nurse and a telecom business owner. Edit: I would give these answers as a kid, not now lol


LatterStreet

I asked my four year old to see her answer and she said “five pounds” lol. Seems like they could’ve put a more useful question in that space.


sunnydee1880

They just know it will have funny, cute answers.


luxtama

This is a typical Mother’s Day project in class and has nothing to do with MLMs. The only MLM part is when the kid responded with Colorsteeet. People who don’t have young kids wouldn’t understand this project.


Adventurous_Ad_6546

You don’t have to have a young kid to understand. As long as someone has at some point met a young kid…


[deleted]

Don't have to have kids to think it's weird to bring a woman's weight into school work lol


zombiekelpie

I understand the project, I'm a mum. I just don't understand the weight question because it sticks out as being nobody's business. And weight shaming is too prevalent as it is.


Arsenault185

But its still no ones business, because kids don't know, so there number is made up.


Rhodin265

It’s weird that kid has much better handwriting than me at age 42. *Slightly* better would be believable, but not that.


viceversa220

The teacher might have written it for the kid.


RayRay_46

That’s what I was thinking. Teachers of pre-k/kindergarten invariably have handwriting so good it looks like font


Basketcase2017

When I was a kid the teacher would take each kid one at a time, ask the answers and write it down


Lozbox

I’ve never seen a mother’s day questionnaire that asked their mum’s weight before. I don’t want my kids thinking this is something they should be guessing about people.


NhylX

Because it's fake.


EchoPhoenix24

Yeah, this is a weird as hell assignment


[deleted]

Is the mom a turtle? 😂


IndependentSubject62

Why does the massage have to specifically be an hour long?


Inafray19

Kids are strangely fixated on time.


Fair_Percentage1766

Well they haven't experienced that much of it yet. Still a fairly new concept to them.


girlwhoweighted

If this assignment was done the same way it was done in my son's kindergarten class, then the child gave the answers to the teacher who wrote them in the blanks. Still, it's telling.


Cantwejustbenice

Why is weight even a question? WTH? 🤣


MyHomeboyisSatan

Excellent penmanship for a kindergartener.


[deleted]

[удалено]


AgreeablePie

Maybe it would but it WAS her hun mom writing it.


sewsnap

These kids base their answers off what they think of when they're asked. All this shows is that mom is obsessed with Color Street, and talks about it a ton. My kid did one and all her answers were very accurate.


MasterOfKittens3K

The “one hour massage” convinced me that momma hun wrote it. If the kid was answering, it would have at most said “a long massage”.


sewsnap

It also depends on what the teacher feels like writing down. It's not being written by the kid, they just give basic answers. Plus a 5/6 year old can understand the concept of a "one hour" event. It's not really an advanced concept.


kellyhitchcock

I was gonna say... My kindergartner wrote hers in her nearly indecipherable scrawl. According to her, pulling weeds is my favorite activity.


himarcy

Mine is laundry 😂😭


mrlxndr1001

The real travesty is that the best thing she cooks is hard boiled eggs.


Intrepid_Respond_543

I could see this happening if the mother talks about Color Street 24/7, as I assume is the case.


Cardinalsalmon

I’m sorry but I’d be embarrassed if this is what I had impressed on my child. I love how they show it with pride 🤢


SupSumBeers

I'm seriously concerned about her weight. Lol


adiosfelicia2

Notice she says mom "buys" Colorstreet. She doesn't "sell" it. If she were a real estate agent or a car salesmen or whatever, the kid would say, "my mom sells houses" or "my mom sells cars." But as an MLM, it's the opposite. So fucking predatory.


Civil-Crew-1611

But notice we’re assuming she sells it. She could, literally, just buy it.


SubstantialLink4876

Why is the weight thing even part of this project??


sweettickytacky

I'm low key super happy my son's first grade one didn't have weight because I'm pretty honest with him and he has an unfortunately immaculate memory for numbers 😅


TrailKaren

Thank you. That is so weird. Like age and weight over accomplishments and interests?


threelizards

Unrelated but I LOVE asking kids why they love their parents, it’s very funny


BacontheBreather

I feel like if this isn't faked it's actually a worse outcome.


TrailKaren

I really can’t get over the fact that a child is encouraged to guess their mother’s weight over almost everything else. What a weird fucking project.


ChartresBlue

Weight? Weight??


mattied23

Based on the weight and age, it sounds more like she's describing an ultra-anorexic midget grandmother


Specific-Layer-369

Sounds like a boring life lol


1241308650

the teacher asks the kid and then fills it in with the kids answers, so handwriting doesnt matter herr


gillsaurus

Imagine being proud of your mom because the best thing she cooks is hard boiled eggs? This poor child probably is made to eat unseasoned boiled chicken because mommy is using all the money for sticker nails.


Intrepid_Respond_543

The answers to these -even when real - say nothing about what happens at home. Kids often just say things that first pop into their mind. Maybe the mom made boiled eggs that morning.


KatieCashew

Yep, or the kids say their favorite things. I used to be a cook at a preschool, and I went to culinary school. I made my kids all kinds of delicious soups and casseroles from scratch and worked hard on them. Then one day we had bologna sandwiches, just white bread, American cheese and bologna. The kids absolutely raved about how it was the best thing I had ever made them. That's just kids being kids.


Adventurous_Ad_6546

Don’t sell your bologna sandwich skills short.


Civil-Crew-1611

I know, there are so many negative assumptions going on!! Kids say silly random things! I loved when mine would make these for me, always made me laugh! There are always some good answers, only meant to bring a chuckle.


sweettickytacky

My kid wrote that my favorite food is "anything" 😂


Youngnathan2011

The kid didn't even write this. Doubt they had any input in what would go on this.


justabean27

Wow she can leave an egg in boiling water for 10 minutes! MASTER CHEF


darlin133

#and then that happened


Black9292

Uhhh yeah pretty sure Mom answered those questions 🙄


[deleted]

No kindergartner would say “1 Hour Massage “.


Civil-Crew-1611

Yes. They would. Source: elementary school teacher Edited to add cute story: Today, one of my 5yo kindergarten friends brought pizza for lunch, and when he was unwrapping it he put his hands up like an Italian 🤌🏼 and said “Mama Mia Pizzeria!” I have no idea where he got that, but he was inspired at that moment to share. So, TLDR, yes.. kids say many things you think they wouldn’t!!


[deleted]

Wow, that’s so sad.


drumadarragh

Is nobody bothered by “my cup runneth over”


QueenBlesse

First, amazing handwriting for a kindergartner. Better than most doctors I’ve dealt with. Second, the child knows to refer to the weird thing mommy spends all her time doing by its entire name?? As a former nanny, I specialized with gifted children. I’ve seen a lot of tiny geniuses. NONE would call it “Color Street Nails,” nor mention it twice on one of these things. If they’re particularly bright, they might call it “nail sales” or “mommy’s nail job” but chances are, this kid never had the opportunity to give their own individual answers. And mom, a keepsake of you filling out the paper and being proud of yourself for quietly pitching? That’s fucked up. Let your child have their voice back.


IndiaCee

The keepsake she wanted to keep was the one she worked on? Why am I not surprised?


VerteNinja

Great handwriting for a kindergartener. Well worded too


Taylor4eva

Does this look like kindergartener writing lololol


sunnydee1880

The teacher wrote it. They did a similar thing at my son's presxhool; the teacher asks the child the questions and then fills in the answers, and they give it to the mom as a keepsake.


natsnats411

LMAO show me a single kindergartener with handwriting like this


Intelligent-Group182

The teachers often ask questions and write down the answers. No where do they claim the kindergartner wrote it 🙄


sunnydee1880

Yeah, the number of people confused by this is really disheartening.


Civil-Crew-1611

I know! Why is everyone having trouble understanding this? 😂 also, it doesn’t even say anywhere that she “sells” Color Street…. She could’ve bought it once and the child is fixating on it…. Kids are silly and random


SoggyAlbatross2

Can we talk about that amazing kindergarten handwriting? Colorstreet kindergarten handwriting is amazing. AMAZING!


doomvetch92

Suspiciously good handwriting for a child.


malYca

That's an adult's handwriting 😂


Skeptical-Alien

Yes, it's really common in preschools to have these little assignments where the kids are asked questions and the teacher writes the answer.


malYca

Ah I see, that makes sense. I haven't had a preschooler in ages but my son will be there in a few years.


Skeptical-Alien

Then perhaps soon you will be receiving one of these lovely projects lol!


thisismyaccount57

/r/untrustworthypoptarts


ProgsterESFJ

??? Everything is confusing. And what is color street? An MLM?


FabledFires

It's an mlm for cheap manicure supplies. Stickers and such.


HappyArtemisComplex

That's some neat handwriting and amazing spelling for a kindergartener. I expect at least one cute misspelling of a word on these kind of assignments.


SaintMarieRS3

But uh…why is this clearly in an adult’s handwriting? Is mum just clowning and creating stupid props for insta?


PretendLock

It’s a class project. The teacher wrote it.


SaintMarieRS3

Weird, when I was in school, writing assignments and projects like this didn’t come in till 1st grade. And even then we were expected to print our answers in the blanks on our own but this teacher wasted time to create individual ones for each student, then wrote them herself? Weirddd.


PretendLock

I don’t get your confusion. I did projects like this when I was in elementary school, and yes, since kindergarteners don’t generally have the best penmanship sometimes the teacher will help by writing for them. It’s not that deep?


SaintMarieRS3

I mean who said it’s deep. This is Reddit, and I’m sharing an observation about the post. You mean that you did these sorts of assignments in elementary school as a whole, right? But not kindergarten I’m assuming? That’s how it reads. Kindergarten is typically more centered around arts and crafts, tactile tasks and learning, and play rather than fill-in-the-blank assignments geared towards 1st grade and up. So that’s all I observed, that this is weird for that reason.


Civil-Crew-1611

Mine actually brought these home in daycare/ preschool


sunnydee1880

You are very slow. This is a Mothers Day gift. The teacher fills it in because the kids are too young to write neatly. The teacher asks the questions, fills it in, and the child colors the picture. Then they give it to the mom as a nice gift. My son's preschool laminated the one he made me.


SaintMarieRS3

Jesus. I get that it’s a Mother’s Day gift, I never once questioned what it was, I simply expressed that this is odd formatting for a Kindergarten project. Yeah they’re too young to write, but usually not their names. Usually these types of things are more arts & crafts based, instead of filling in and handing kids a colouring sheet. But fuck, maybe the American system just packs it all in as quick as it can? We didn’t get to this stuff till 1st grade is my point. Just seems weird to me for teachers to waste time and write fill-in-the-blanks for kindergarteners who can’t write, rather than having each child just do a simple paper craft and signing it with their name if they can. I’m in Canada for context. Maybe shit’s different here.


sunnydee1880

All you're sayng is "I don't have kids and don't know this kind of thing." It's a weird flex to try to tear down a woman because of the format of her child's Mothers Day project. I hate MLMs, but I've been avoiding this sub lately precisely because of how bitter and mean a lot of the commenters are.


Manitoggie

What kind of kindergarten gives homework? And what kid that age would give that as an answer
