We’ve all been there; at the ballet recital or the baseball game, the science fair or the soccer pitch. We beam with pride as watch our kids try hard, push themselves to new heights, and succeed at what they love to do, at what they are talented at doing.

So recently we asked the Life of Dad Facebook page, “What talent does your kid have?” and what we got back was most certainly not the typical list of kid talents. As only our community can provide, here are the top kid talents from the minds and mouths of real dads and moms, including a young poet who’s already penned his first hit poem!

Sonny Xuorig: My 10 year old son, who has ASD, wrote a poem and it has been going viral.

“All four of my kids were born with mutant abilities. My oldest has the ability to know everything about one direction. My 9 yr old has the ability to tell you what u as an adult what u already know but ur still wrong and shes right. My twins have the ability to transform themselves into anything they want. Lately its been two little tornadoes. “Wander twin powers activate. Form of Tornadoes!” — Cameron Steele

“Mr 2 has the amazing ability to look completely innocent and cute, even when being a little so-n-so. He lights up any room he enters into with his smile and amazing laugh.” — Leesa Cannon

“Aside from waking the entire house?
He can draw and he’s a straight-A student who skipped kindergarten and went straight to first grade.” — David Jaskowiak

“Our oldest is incredible at using stickers at an extremely rapid rate, especially when piling them all on top of each other like a tower.” — Anthony Joseph
