@Zanele Sithole881 laughed out loud: "Mine loves my laptop, so I got her a toddler laptop. But guess what? She threw it away!" Sometimes even the best-laid plans don’t quite work out, but hey, at least she tried!

When a Kiddo Kicks Dad's Phone: Another Viral Moment
If you thought the calculator story was funny, wait until you hear this one. In a completely different viral video, a kiddo showed off some serious martial arts skills by kicking his dad’s phone clean out of his hand. User @DlaminiLusiwe shared the clip, which quickly became a hit among parents everywhere.
The scene is simple but hilarious. A dad is enjoying some quiet time with his mini-me when, out of nowhere, the little one delivers a perfectly timed kick to the phone. The dad’s reaction? Priceless. Shocked, amused, and maybe a little traumatized, he picks up the phone and shakes his head, clearly wondering what just happened. It’s moments like these that remind us how unpredictable—and hilarious—parenting can be.
So whether it’s a toddler obsessed with calculators or a kiddo practicing kung-fu on unsuspecting phones, one thing’s for sure: parenthood is full of surprises. And if we can laugh along the way, well, that’s half the battle won.
