The Moment This Man Placed A Bet With His 8 Year Old And Lost Has Got People Sharing Their Own Fascinating Stories
Believe me when I say that kids always know what they are doing.
Kids! Believe me when I say that they always know what they are doing. Place a bet with them, and they will go to great lengths to prove you wrong and, of course, win the bet.
A father has testified to this, so he took to the TIFU subreddit community to share how his child beat him hands down at his own game. According to the Redditor with the username u/borgeron, his 8-year-old daughter is a great Minecraft builder, and she comes up with pretty interesting pictures, designs, and builds.
The thing is, her iPad needed mods and had been making noise about it for over a year. Each time the OP reminds her about it, she tells him to get her a computer. Fast forward to when the OP’s daughter, who goes for gym time, told him that “they did a plank for 30 seconds as part of her class.”
Then comes the fun part, where the OP “stupidly” tells her that if she can beat his plank time, he would buy her a computer (his plank time is 2.25). The OP’s brave daughter took it as a challenge and told her gym instructor that her goal for the year is "to do a 4-minute plank".
Yup, she started, and by the end of the 4 minutes, she was a “sweaty crying mess.” She actually stopped at 4:08.
Now, who’s the baddest? Lol… check out the full story below!

Children are not the kind of people to make a bet or be dared to do something extraordinary because, given the right motivation, they can shock you to the core. Anyone can do anything once the right motivation is available.
And this goes to show that we can achieve anything if only we set our minds to it. Share your thoughts about this story with us in the comments section below.
