an Oh Myyy Property

Children set high, almost unreachable standards for their parents. In their minds, mothers and fathers are supposed to know everything and be perfectly able to accomplish any task...even if the fact they're asking about is made up or the task is impossible. Twitter user James Breakwell offered up a perfect example of this on January 6, when he shared the story of a recent interaction with his 6-year-old.


Kids really do ask the darndest things...

Seriously, Dad?! You don't know the answer?!



What kind of college doesn't teach basic Dragonomics?



The best universities take the time to make sure their students understand basic dragon principals.



Conversation with children are almost always online gold.



But wait...could history offer an answer to the 6-year-old's question?



Some Twitter users took a more scientific approach to the query.


Either way, we can all agree: this 6-year-old has its priorities straight.


The consensus among true dragon lovers seemed to be united:


Of course, to know for sure, there's only one thing to do: go ask a dragon.

Guy's Girlfriend Makes A Popular Pikachu Meme Into The Perfect Birthday Cake 😂

u/GeekyKirby / Reddit

Reddit user u/GeekyKirby wanted to get something for their boyfriend for his birthday, but he said not to get him anything because it is so close to Christmas, so they decided it was time to get creative.


When asked what they bought him, u/GeekyKirby replied:

I pre-ordered him a game [Kingdom Hearts III], and bought him a shirt and a book he wanted :) ...I also filled up his living room floor with balloons...

It seems minor mischief is a common theme in their relationship:

Thank you. :) At this point, I can't really surprise my boyfriend anymore. And I try lol. Like the time I secretly put googly eyes on everything in his fridge...

Users were impressed by u/GeekyKirby's piping skills. Also, the hate for fondant is real!

Hehe this gave me a good chuckle this morning. Now wish I had a boyfriend so I could do this to them. - MidnightMadness21

Making something for someone is a great way to show them you love them.

The best birthday present I ever got was from a girl who baked me a cake secretly. So thanks for doing that for him, I know I'd feel great about it. - Levitr0n

Others have found inventive ways to use the meme as well:
