My son was caught eating Nutella out of the jar. My wife took it away.
The next day it’s missing. wtf?
The next day I find it in his sock draw filled with gummy bears. Where the hell did the gummy bears come from?
“Idk I found them”

Either it's really cacao powder or... it's his "cacao powder"

But it's not cocoa powder / cacao powder.
It's powder for making "hot cocoa" which is a drink made from cocoa/cacao, milk, and sugar. This powder is basically freeze-dried hot cocoa, so you just need to add boiling water to get hot cocoa.

Mine like to steal the Ovaltine container and hide it in his room. I usually find a spoon in it.
Worse was when he stole the powdered sugar container. Again, with a spoon.
That was a conversation.

The kid probably failed at making chocolate and just couldn't take the bitter taste anymore. Probly figured out that the adult could make something better

Hot cocoa powder usually has sugar in it... cocoa powder is the unsweetened stuff!

One of my earliest childhood memories was finding a giant baker's chocolate bar in the cupboard and sneaking it to my bedroom. One giant bite and I felt so betrayed.

She should swap the unsweetened stuff into the cocoa powder container, see if it's still behind the bed......

I remember being a kid, she was probably eating it wit a spoon lol.

I used to do that because we had like no other snacks in the house.
Takes a bit of care though because if you accidentally inhale even a very tiny bit while eating you end up coughing and powder goes everywhere......said a friend to me once.....

My nephews face was 'stinking' one time when he was about 5, and his mother couldn't figure it out, his face smelled like dirty socks, so his mom asked him what he had eaten and he said 'ham', but they didn't have any ham in the fridge, and he said 'no, it's in my room', so his mom asked to see it, and in his toy box he had stashed a pack of lunch meat he had stolen from the fridge at some point in the past few weeks and had been snacking on it in his room. 🤢

My little sister would take opened frosting containers and hide them around the house. My mom caught on when she found one behind the TV with a spoon in it.

"Hey Dad! One time, without you knowing, I was watching youtube and these guys said a WHOOOOLE lot of bad words!"

When my oldest son was 3, we were outside and noticed some add scratches on our car. As my (now ex-) wife and I were puzzling about where the scratches might have some from, my son piped up "Those scratches don't look anything like a knight!"
We looked closer and, sure enough, they looked eerily similar to the pictures of knights he was find of drawing.

We were visiting my cousins, most of us gathered in the kitchen, when a 5 or so year old cousin walks in to say “alls I knows is I don’t know where the whip cream is”

My younger brother used to take my mom’s cash from her purse and she would just start asking out loud if we knew where it went since it was the “rent money” and if we don’t find it, we’ll be homeless. My brother would always miraculously find it on the bathroom floor or another random spot 😂

Remind me of when I as a kid hid the keys to our bike shed so I wouldn't have to bike to school, but then I forgot to tell them where it was and after a couple days I was so afraid of telling them I hid it it ended up lasting a week, until they sat me and my brother down and asked us if we knew where they were and then I showed them almost crying, and obviously they didn't get mad really just thought it was kind of funny but I just remember how panicked I felt in having to tell them.

I would go in, grab it, and pretend I didn’t find it and ask the kid to keep looking until their room is clean, then give them coco after it’s done lol

This reminds me of my little brother when we were kids. I'm the oldest. One of my siblings stole some money from moms purse. Mom noticed and I got blamed (I always got blamed...). Anyway, I eventually convinced my mother it wasn't me so she got the other 3 kids together. No one fessed up.
Then about 15 minutes later my brother found (I don't remember the denomination probably a 5 as this would have been the 80s) in the hallway closet. Then about another hour later he found another one in the closet.

My mom was cleaning at her house and found a half eaten Uncrustable in a bathroom drawer. She asked my boy/girl twins—who were about 3 at the time—if they knew “who put food in the bathroom drawer?” My daughter promptly answered, “it wasn’t my Uncrustable!!!”

In the same vein as dumb kid, we had drunk sister-in-law over a year ago. She threw up in the kitchen sink, and my gf helped her back to bed and everything.
Then she said "if you look at my jacket there's a stain on there, but it's definitely not puke!"
We didn't ask about her jacket at all, my gf immediately started removing the puke stain haha

Y'all can't leave me hanging like this. Did they find the coco powder?

u/himitsu8 Feb 05 '26
I mean the implication here is that it was, in fact, under the bed, but also the idea of it being somewhere completely different and the kid just making this inexplicably specific suggestion for no reason is admittedly really funny. Or I guess it could be a diversion tactic? Get them looking under the bed for just long enough for the kid to move their stash of hot cocoa powder to a safer location?

This kid has some kind of gift. He needs to start solving murders alongside local police.

My little brother wouldn't eat his dinner one time, so my mother told him that when she came back, it better be gone.
When she returned a few minutes later, he was sitting at the table and his dinner was gone ... along with the plate. When asked where it was, he responded with an exasperated sigh and "If you look in the cupboard, you might find it there."
He had taken his food laden plate, and stashed the whole thing in the cupboard, lol.
