Parents Share The Strangest Thing They’ve Found In Their Kid’s Room

These parents share the one thing they were never expecting to find in their child's room.

Ya’ll Are Nasty

>>> “My child is only four years old. I only find dirt, rocks and cookie crumbs. So she’s pretty normal for now.”

>>> “My parents found a bunch of dog toys and peanut butter under my sister’s bed. The weird thing is that we don’t have a dog.”

>>> “The salt. Like, a big thing of table salt. She was eating it straight, just big spoons of nothing but salt.”

>>> “My dad found my youngest sister’s barbies naked, bent over the edge of her toy chest.”

>>> “Once my aunt was going through my younger cousin’s room and found five bottles of pee in the vent in the floor. Apparently, he would get so into playing video games he wouldn’t walk 10 feet to the bathroom. He would just pee into these empty soda bottles and ‘hide’ them in the floor vent. He was about 14 years old at the time.”

>>> “Green beans from dinner hidden in a drawer, and two strange cats locked in the closet.”

>>> “A salamander. My son found it outside and brought it in. He set up a bowl and kept it in his room. He fessed up after a couple of days that he had it. I let him keep it and he had it for a year then finally he let it go. It was a good experience for us.”

>>> “A massive ball of Play-Doh covered in real human teeth.”–

Mistaken Identity

>>> “When I was about 13 years old, I went to my uncle’s house with my cousin and my grandma for about a week or so. While I was gone, my mom called me and started screaming at me over the phone. She told me she was going through my room and found illegal substances on the bookshelf in my room.

She started telling me she was going to beat my butt, that I was grounded and that I will only be going to church and school. Once she was done yelling, I told her that it was catnip for my cat, and I asked her how I would get illegal substances since I didn’t have any friends. She was silent and dropped the subject.

The funny thing is, she works for the police department. You think she’d know the difference between illegal substances and catnip.”

They Were So Confused By What They Found

>>> “Rice. My 6-year-old son was hiding rice in his closet. Uncooked white rice. It was stored in various boxes. There was probably five pounds worth by the time we found it.”

>>> “When my son was 11 years old, we found a wet diaper in his cupboard. He claimed he found it outside when we asked him about it.”

>>> “When I was about 12 years old, my parents freaked out and almost made me go to a psychiatrist because they found a noose in my room. I was not suicidal. I just had some rope and was bored and wanted to see if I could figure out how to tie one. It took me forever to convince them of that, though.”

>>> “My 10-year-old had a pillow that was stuffed with ladies underwear. I’m not sure where he got it, but he had at least 20 pairs of it in the pillowcase.”

>>> “An unpeeled boiled egg in the drawer beside the bed and 15 bottles of lubricant under the bed.”

>>> “Over the years, I’ve found weird things in my son’s room. A few of them are a jar of urine, a blowtorch, a utility knife, various hunting knives (many of these were stolen from my dad’s house), and toothpaste smeared all over his walls and shelves.”

>>> “I found a notebook underneath my baby cousin’s bed, it had advanced Calculus written all over it, and neither my aunt or uncle know Calculus.”

>>> “About an inch of urine at the bottom of the lego bucket in my boys’ bedroom closet. The oldest said their sister was in the bathroom so they decided to make their own toilet.”

>>> “When I was little, I had a wall covered with obituaries. I wonder what my mom thought about it.”

“I Just Stopped Asking”

>>> “My daughter stole the eggs out of my fridge and proceeded to ‘cook’ with them. I found them in her little play oven in a pot, none of them were broken. That’s my girl.”

>>> “There was a piece of toast was under his bed. I just picked it up, looked at it, and put it back.”

>>> “A book with boogers and what I think is glue in it. You can’t even open the book without ripping some pages. She’s eight years old.”

>>> “In elementary and middle school, my sister had a thing with tape. She put hundreds of strips on the underside of all our furniture. We still have no trouble finding strips if we look.”

>>> “I found a pentagram drawn on a piece of paper and my name scrawled next to it.”

>>> “I was looking for something in my 7-year-old son’s room. I found out that he’s been stashing rocks in the bottom drawer of his dresser. As in, rocks he found in the garden. His explanation: ‘They’re interesting.’ Maybe he wants to be a geologist some day.”

>>> “Garbage. Candy wrappers, old batteries, chewing gum, bottle caps, torn up baseball cards, bits of string, a box of garbage. None of it would have been an issue, but he (my 11-year-old son) was hoarding/hiding it. And there were actual toys in it too. I’m still confused.”–

>>> “My 8-year-old daughter saves every piece of pencil lead she breaks and stores it in a baggy. Currently she has a full size zip lock baggy full. The are all about an eighth of inch long and a variety of colors and shapes.

My 4-year-old son is an eater and I find pockets full of random food in his clothes. We will be out somewhere and I will see him munching. I have no idea where he got the food. I just stopped asking.”

He Found A Disgusting Sight

>>> “I’m the father of three boys. At the time of this story, they were eight, four and one years old.

My house was two stories. I was down in the living room watching TV and the kids were up in one of their bedrooms playing. Like any good parent, I would occasionally mute the TV and listen for activity to make sure all was good. At one particular point, I heard what sounded like improper fun. It’s that sort of laughing that gives you the ‘hmmm, what are they up to’ tickle down your spine.

I proceeded up the stairs and made my way to the bedroom. As I walked into the room, the three children suddenly stopped their gleeful jumping about and stood dead silent. Never a good sign. I asked them what was going on, and with their hearts visibly pounding out of their chests I got a ‘nothing.’

I looked around the room and saw nothing of concern, but as I raised my eyes ceiling level, I noticed what appeared to be brown clumps about one foot from the ceiling all around the walls. It was perfectly level with the ceiling fan that was currently spinning.

I moved in for a closer look at this foreign material and was stunned to find poop chunks evenly splattered on the walls at the ceiling fan height. Checking pants and diapers, I noticed nothing amiss, but then remembered that the dog was also in the room.

Apparently, the kids thought it would be fun to toss the dog’s feces into the spinning ceiling fan and watch it splatter around the room. As they weren’t tall enough, I couldn’t force them to clean it up, so I was left with the duty of scraping it all off.”

She Was So Freaked Out

>>> “I found some little post-it notes on my 7-year-old’s desk. She had written things like ‘I can kill you’ and ‘you are going to jail’ and frowny faces with jail bars drawn in front of them. Freaked me out!! My daughter is the sweetest, most thoughtful, and responsible little blonde moppet you can imagine, and then there was that!

I carefully asked her about them and she said drew them while she was watching a ‘Loony Tunes’ episode. She thought my concern was hilarious. I casually left them on my husband’s bedside table that night in hopes of freaking him out, but he didn’t notice them. I eventually showed him and he got that same look of panic that I had probably had at first.”

They Couldn’t Believe What They Were Seeing

>>> “A copy of ‘Twilight.’ He swears his girlfriend gave it to him, and he never touched it.”

>>> “We are not religious, but we got a nativity scene as a gift, and we put it out for Christmas. My daughter, who just turned five years old, has been taking the baby Jesus and hiding him in the second drawer of her dresser, under her pajamas. This is the third year this has been happening, and she still does it. She has no answers or excuses.”

>>> “My sister and I shared a bedroom. My dad built us these beautiful beds with dresser drawers in the bottom. One day I was studying in my room with my friend, and we heard a strange noise coming from my sister’s bed. It was a baby mockingbird. It was all cute and scraggly and chirping and then its beak caught on a sock and it broke its neck right in front of us. Another time, my mom found a bowl of dirt in our room. She asked my sister why there was a bowl of dirt in our room. ‘Oh no!’ she cried, ‘my worms escaped!'”

>>> “My mom once found cherries in my sister’s piggy bank. My sister didn’t want to share, so she decided to hoard them.”

>>> “I found dead birds hidden inside of a Thomas the Tank lunchbox. Some were skeletons, some were mummified, and a couple were fresh. He was about four years old at the time.”

>>> “My daughter once hid eggs, flour, and sugar so she had an emergency pancake stash. She brought it out when she asked her grandmother if they could make pancakes, and they didn’t have any flour or eggs. She was four years old at the time.”

>>> “I used to steal the bags of hand sanitizer out of port-o-johns and bring them home. My mom found them in my room and didn’t know what they were. When I came home she was freaking out. She thought it was illegal substances of some sort. Ah, good times.”

“It Remains A Mystery To This Day”

>>> “A friend of mine has found kitchen knives, baker’s chocolate, sharpies, and a host of other random things in her 6-year-old son’s bed. He swears he has no idea why he steals them, they just end up in his bed.”

>>> “My mom found razors in my brother’s bedroom. Not those Bic razors, but the folding razors barber shop’s use. They were nice ones like some with gold around the handles or silver and some in nice wood boxes. We never figured out where he got them. After his death, we had the set appraised at over $2,250. We framed them and hung it on the wall.”

>>> “I am actually the proud father of quadruplets (four girls). A few years ago when they were seven years old, I found a small selection of rare katana swords, elite combat knives, and ninja throwing stars in a shared walk-in wardrobe belonging to two of my girls. The swords were mounted.

It was an immaculate collection and actually looked pretty amazing when I look back, but at the time I was confused and disturbed. Now, none of the girls have shown any proclivity towards traditional oriental combat techniques, whether armed or unarmed. They enjoy dance, socializing and One Direction. All the girls deny any knowledge of how they got there and it remains a mystery to this day.”

>>> “My cousin had 15 jars of peanut butter under her bed. All empty.”

>>> “I found a little tiny toy box (lego-sized) that my son peed in. I found it when I was cleaning his room and it smelled like someone had thrown rotten eggs into a pile of death. This was about twelve years ago. He’s 19 years old now, and I still bring it up all the time.”

Kids Are So Strange

>>> “I found broken raw eggs all over my house. My daughter had a thing with breaking them, apparently.”

>>> “I found a bunch of boxes of tampons under my son Louie’s bed once.”

>>> “My 7-year-old daughter hoards stuff, and once I found a volleyball trophy of someone named Emanuel Dallis. I have no idea who the person is. When I asked where she got it from, she couldn’t remember.”

>>> “Blood. Lot’s and Lots of blood. Blood all over my 4-year-old’s bed, her walls, her dresser, but not a single drop on her clothes (the ones we put her to bed in), her body, face, hands nothing. At first, it was terrifying, now it’s just baffling.”

>>> “My 3-year-old often eats Ritz crackers in her room. We would often find the whole crackers stacked on their play table, but with all the salt licked off. This morning my wife was cleaning and found a handful of soggy, salt-less, crackers tucked under the table inside the hollow leg supports.

Apparently, when we thought she was eating them, she was just licking them and hiding them from us.”

>>> “A dictionary under her pillow. Her reasoning? She could learn in her sleep.”

>>> “A dead rabbit. Apparently, my husky caught it at one point and dropped it behind my daughter’s bed. We didn’t know it until we were trying to figure out why her room smelled funny.”

Kids Hide The Darndest Things

>>> “My mom found weeks’ old Pizza Pizza garlic dip under my sister’s bed. No one knows why she was keeping it there. She was five years old at the time.”

>>> “A pair of underwear with a big piece of poop and toilet paper stuck to them under his bed. He’s 13 years old.”

>>> “A slice of cheese stuck on my son’s wall. Never got an explanation out of him.”

>>> “My aunt and uncle once went into their daughter’s room and found stuffed animals with nooses around their necks hanging from the ceiling fan. But it turned out that she was just decorating and hasn’t started worshipping Satan yet.”

>>> “Bananas. I don’t buy bananas.”

>>> “I once found a poop-covered tampon under my little brother’s bed. He was probably 10 years old. It was one of those super-plus sized ones, at that.”

>>> “A Pygmy Rattlesnake. We were living in the Everglades.”

It Was Revolting

>>> “Our son was gone for the week, so my wife thought he would not mind if she picked up the dirty clothes lying about the room and go wash them. She called me up there, as there was a faint burning smell in the room. I have a reputation for an impeccable nose, and it was my job to root out the smell. Last time there was an odd smell, turned out the cat was accidentally locked in a room overnight and peed in the corner, and it seeped down under the floor and the smell creeped out only so slightly, and I was overpowered by it when I was on my stomach scooting around and found the quarter rounds crumbling away from the corner.

Anyway, there I was in the room again trying to figure out the sniff. It was undeniably something familiar mixed with a slight burning smell, but not the usual scary suspects such as mold, illegal substances, or rotting food. Oh, and cat pee. Finally, I narrowed it down to something under his dresser and pulled out an old shoebox.

I don’t even have the words for what we found inside the box, but the smell was overpowering when we opened it, some kind of slimy gunk all over the bottom and sides that looked like he was trying to set it on fire or something. Whatever the gunk was, it was still somewhat gooey and sticky to the touch.

We gave up trying to figure out what was in the box and ended up throwing it away. We opened the windows and put box fans to try and air out the entire room. Our son was mortified we even found the box, screaming something about how important it was to him, and even went running to the garage to try and find it from the garbage can, which was already picked and gone. We haven’t talked about it much since then.”
