16 Parents So Hilariously Clueless It’s Actually Adorable

It’s a parent’s responsibility to pass on their own knowledge and wisdom of experience so that we, their offspring, might use that information to become mature, well-rounded members of society. They’re here to answer our toughest questions and provide sagelike guidance.

But, parents are also human, which means that, just like the rest of us poor dopes, they do experience occasional bouts of cluelessness. As it turns out, giving birth to another human doesn’t make you an infallible genius (especially when it comes to technology). Moms and dads can be just as f*cking unwitting as the rest of us.

Here are some sweet, oblivious parents to remind us all that even the most astute and sensible adults are susceptible to idiocy. So, cut ’em some slack — they’re trying their best, okay??
