About SKW

Millions of adults worldwide attempt to write humorous things on a daily basis with little to no success.

Take us for instance.

Kids, on the other hand, often compose side-achingly hilarious quips with no real intention of being humorous. They’re pint-sized poets viewing the world through Groucho Marx glasses who scratch out their observations on whatever is handy. Writing funny stuff just comes naturally to them.

So we decided to start a site to feature the genius of the baby bards among us. Our own kids have written crazy-funny things and we figure so has pretty much every other kid in the universe.

We think you’ll enjoy this collection of stuff kids write. And we hope that you’ll share funny stuff you find that kids have written.

Cheers,

Leanne and Chase
