Kids do the funniest things – good job social media’s here to help broadcast the magic moments!
Those us of who grew up pre-Internet can rest easy in the knowledge that most of our childhood embarrassments remain safely ensconced in photo albums and our parents’ wry anecdotes. But in this digital age, when adorable baby antics are begging to be shared with simply a few clicks, who can blame modern parents for wanting to share all the fun of raising kids?
A hashtag which has recently been doing the rounds on Japanese Twitter invites parents to do just that. A search for #育児衝撃画像, which means “shocking/impactful child-raising image” brings up tons of cute kid capers, and we’ll share some of the highlights here!

While it seems totally normal these days to share pics and vids of one’s kids online, there are hints that the younger generation are beginning to tire of all this social media overexposure. Heck, kids these days don’t even want to be on YouTube anymore. And we can’t say we blame them – are there any weird and wacky incidents from your childhood that you’re glad were spared the spotlight of social media?
