Getting kids to do their homework is a chore in and of itself. One expects there to be questions they don't know how to answer, dozens of spelling mistakes, and maybe even times when mom and dad can't figure out the solution to a problem. But what to do when a child goes rogue and answers the questions in an ahem "explicit" way? Not on purpose of course, but there is always that one child who doesn't quite know how to spell "clock."
There have always been kids who have some unique interpretations of mops, scissors, and what it looks like to be sprayed with a water gun (LOL). The difference now is that parents and caregivers all have cell phones and social media to keep track of every hilarious thing their kids write down. And some of the things they come up with are … pretty hilariously inappropriate.
Truly these are all cases of kids say the darnedest things, and hey, everyone has to be really bad at spelling and drawing until they get good. These X-rated flops are the Internet's gain! Check out these amazing homework fails which go to show that parents DO need to look over their children's homework before they submit it. These homework fails would be too cringey if these kids weren't so cute!

A SURPRISING REVELATION
Whoops! This kid's totally innocent spelling mistake has some pretty terrible implications … especially for poor Veronica. As the child's mom writes in her Instagram caption, "Wow Lucian, stay away from Veronica."
"HOW MANY GIRLS LIKE TO PLAY WITH BALLS?"
Truly the question of our time, how many girls DO like to play with balls? We'd be willing to bet money that whoever this question writer is, they certainly got a quick chuckle from writing this double entendre of a prompt.
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO SAY "TO GET IN YOUR PJS AND GO TO SLEEP"
Oh boy, this tiny mistake has us rolling. Instagram user trinasword03 makes it known that "It was supposed to say 'to get in your PJs and go to sleep.'"
Luckily this mistake was caught before this child turned her assignment in, but could you imagine the look on the teacher's face?
HE TAKES OFF HIS WHAT?
What? They meant, "He takes off his rooster" … right? We get it, the c and s sounds can be hard to master. Unfortunately for this child, much to his/her future embarrassment!
NOT *QUITE* A MOP
A little rhyme about this photo:
This assignment turned out to be a flop
when this child misdrew a mop
Their spelling is seamless,
but they drew a … oh my,
and now their grade is not tops.
A CREATIVE ANSWER
The Instagram mom who posted this gem captioned this assignment, "Couldn't stop laughing after checking my son's homework." Look, learning new words is TOUGH, okay?
NOT BLAMING THE DOG ON THIS ONE
Hey, at least this drawing is truthful. This little guy spoke from his heart and his heart said "Oops" when he passed gas. We especially like the tornado of gas coming from his bottom.
JUST A TINY BUG OF A PROBLEM
"That moment when you realize you need to teach your daughter how to spell 'insects,'" writes Instagram user danielle.wharram. Unfortunately, the top question also prompts the children to list ways that they can earn money. Can you say yeesh?
THE THINKER
"Judging by the little picture, #9 appears to be right. I don't think the teacher was amused though," an amused parent writes on Instagram. This parent isn't wrong though!
JUST LIKE MOMMY
You know it's bad when Mom has to write a note to the teacher to explain herself the next day. Unfortunately for this mom, her daughter depicted her career working at Home Depot, as … well, something a little more adult.
INTERPRETIVE ART
This amused Instagram mom writes, "I can't even with this #homeworkfail. I think he is supposed to be on a seesaw?" Of course, a seesaw. We don't see anything else …
CAREFUL WITH THAT WATER GUN
This is a case of poor placement. All this little girl wanted to do was properly show her understanding of the word "drench," and now — well, now she's demonstrating something else completely. This situation definitely calls for a good eraser.
A POOR SCRAMBLE
Yikes! This can't be what this little boy meant to write. What he meant is his pen is in a goat — wait, no! That still doesn't make sense. What's going on here, anyway?
"HORES"
Every little girl goes through a horse phase, but sometimes it's the spelling that trips her up. Some facts mentioned about "hores": they have other "hores" friends, and surprisingly, her dad wants a "hores, but my mom says no." Hmm.
ALMOST ... DOESN'T COUNT
This one will make you do a double-take. T is for what? Thank goodness for the teacher's note at the bottom! It's a little wink-wink, nudge-nudge at Mom and Dad for this very confusing title.
A LITTLE ACCIDENT
As this Instagram user points out, this was supposed to be a drawing of someone spitting on the ground. Instead, it looks like, well, we're not sure. It could be a person balancing on a pile of rocks in rated G land. Or, it could be someone pooping. Or peeing. Or shooting rocks from some unknown place we don't want to think about. Like all great works of art, it's open to interpretation.
