20 Funny Cards From Kids That Are Maybe Just A Little Too Honest

As we grow and mature, we develop a mental filter that helps us decide whether or not to keep certain thoughts to ourselves.

And as anyone who spends a lot of time around children can attest, kids don’t have one quite yet. If you’re a mom or dad, you probably have countless cringeworthy memories of your little ones saying the most brutally honest and embarrassing things in public. You know, the kind that make you want to crawl under a rock and never come out? Even when they’re trying to do something nice like write a card to their teachers or loved ones, they still manage to be just a bit too blunt, as evidenced by the hilariously “thoughtful” messages written by the 20 children below.
