Amnesty Day—No Time-Outs, No Filters, No Mercy

Today, kids are serving up hot takes for every Karen who's ever side-eyed their parents at the grocery store, playground, or PTA meeting. Spoiler: The only thing sharper than their wit is their ability to embarrass you in public.

The "Shouldn't Your Child Be Wearing a Jacket?" Karen

Karen: "Aren't you cold without a jacket, sweetie?"

Kid: "Nope, but you must be freezing with all that ice in your heart."

Or: "I'm good, Karen. My mom's parenting skills are warmer than your personality."

The "That's a Lot of Screen Time" Karen

Karen: "Wow, another tablet? Back in my day, we played outside."

Kid: "Back in your day, dinosaurs roamed the earth. Times change, Karen."

The "Are You Feeding Them Organic?" Karen

Karen: "Is that… non-organic fruit snacks?"

Kid: "Don't worry, Karen, I'll survive. My immune system's tougher than your WiFi password."

The "Your Child Is So Loud" Karen

Karen: "She's got quite the set of lungs!"

Kid: "Thanks, I'm practicing for my future career as a lawyer. Or maybe a Karen repellent."

The "I Would Never Let My Child Do That" Karen

Karen: "I would never let my child eat that much sugar."

Kid: "That's probably why your kid is hiding behind the vending machine right now."

The "Do You Let Them Talk to You Like That?" Karen

Karen: "If my child spoke to me that way, there'd be consequences."

Kid: "If I had to listen to you all day, I'd need consequences too."

The "Public Tantrum Play-by-Play" Karen

Karen: "Someone's having a rough day!"

Kid: "Yeah, and you're not helping. Want to join in? We can scream together."

The "Unsolicited Parenting Advice" Karen

Karen: "You know, if you just tried positive reinforcement…"

Kid: "You know, if you just tried minding your own business…"

The "Judgy Playground Karen"

Karen: "Is your mom always on her phone?"

Kid: "No, sometimes she's ignoring you on purpose."

The "Overly Concerned Grocery Store Karen"

Karen: "Isn't it a little late for a child to be out?"

Kid: "Isn't it a little late for you to be policing the snack aisle?"

The "Why Isn't Your Child Smiling?" Karen

Karen: "Smile, sweetheart! Life's too short to frown."

Kid: "I'll smile when you stop talking."

The "I Raised My Kids Right" Karen

Karen: "I raised my kids with manners."

Kid: "Congrats, Karen. Want a medal or just a bigger sticker for your minivan?"

The Ultimate Verdict

"Hey Karens, here's a tip: If you spent as much time minding your own business as you do minding ours, you'd have time for a hobby. Maybe try knitting—something to keep your hands busy and your opinions to yourself."
