TIFU by telling my kids they had a crack in their butts

r/

So I forgot the age old lesson “kids repeat everything you say”

I (m28) have 3 kids (7,4,2) while making dinner was just laughing and joking with them about anything that could pop up in my head. I decided to play the long con, stopped everything I was doing and looked at my 4 year old and started to panic. I picked her up looking at her up and down .

Me: “oh my god it finally happened, how are we going to fix it. “

4yo: “what! whats going on dad”

Me: “you got a crack in your butt”

4yo: (immediately breaks into tears)

7yo: “really -_- everyone has one”

I got her calmed down and had a good laugh about it thinking that was the end of it until this morning with a very angry call from her teacher. She proceeded to go to school and tell all of her friends about the cracks in their butts, creating a classroom of 30 4yos all in hysterical tears because their butts have cracks in them

TL;DR: keep your cracks to yourself.
