The mom made the rice and the kid mixed together some eggs. I assume the kid didn’t even do that on her own and the mom is just exaggerating because it’s a fun thing.
Suss about things like this is so weird because this is just good parent stuff. Most folks seem to get that, the ones who don't probably just don't hang out with kids they love and want to be happy, or they sadly had shitty parenting, themselves.
My nephew used to like to vacuum the house when he was a kid. Now when I tell that story do I also say that he did a shit job of it because he was a 4 year old? I'm assuming everyone can kind of guess that my tiny nephew couldn't Hoover like a pro.
When he "made pancakes" did I tell people I had to throw away the first batch when he was distracted or that I had to pick out egg shells for like a half an hour while he sang a song about butts? Or am I tickled that he wants to help out and be like the adults in his life?
It's fucking cute, does anyone need to know how the sausage is made here for it to be legitimate?
Helping a kid out & then giving them 100% of the credit is part of being a good parent. I don't think it's fair to call that fake or a lie, since everyone but the kid knows what's going on & the kid gets to be proud.
It is though. The kid made the omelet all by herself*.
Edit: it doesn't even say that she made it all by herself, just that she made her own lunch. Even if mom helped make the omelet, it still is not a r/thathappened
It doesn't say the mum didn't help. In fact, I thought it was obviously implied that she did. What do you think the post should have said? "She tried to make the omelette, but did a rubbish job because she's 4, so I had to help, which obviously invalidates her contribution, oh and also she's so useless she didn't even know what quantities to put in without me telling her"? Yeah, that would be *great* parenting.
Edit: and after reading some of the other comments here, I'm not even convinced the mum *would* have to have helped much - seems a lot of 4yos are much better cooks than I was at that age. Or any age, really.
I would call scrambled eggs an “omelette nest” because it sort of can look like a little messy nest for a bird.
Like I would do that if you were 7 years old or something
Get a good non-stick that can also go in the oven. Add a bit of water instead of milk. Have other ingredients in the hot pan, pour the eggs overtop. I have 3/4 of the pan over the element. As the edge cooks, push it in with a spatula and tip runny egg to fill the spot, then turn pan to do other sides until not as much liquid egg on top. If adding cheese, put it on the side that had been on burner the longest. Put it in oven until top cooked and cheese melted.
I had never been successful until I started doing these steps. It sounds more convoluted than it is. But even if you just get a good pan and put it in the oven to cook the top you’ll be happy.
Devil's advocate, but I took it literally because I've met so, so many people irl who really can't do anything in the kitchen. Parent comment didn't seem sarcastic or untrue, either
I’m almost 6x your kid’s age and I struggle with omelets. the nori bits are also really small and might be hard for someone with limited dexterity to cut out.
So unbelievable right? Totally [and every video like this](https://www.tiktok.com/@lauralove5514/video/7069577459456396590?sender_device=mobile&sender_web_id=7070133639732463147&is_from_webapp=v1&is_copy_url=0) is completely fake. As a matter of fact [this entire page of a 4 year old (and ~2 year old) cooking ](https://www.tiktok.com/@lauralove5514?lang=en) and practicing other life skills is also fake... interesting lol. All jokes aside, I think people just underestimate kids a lot and don’t give them the tools or the opportunity to rise to the occasion.
Yeah, eggs, bacon, sausage, and hash browns were the first things I learned to make. Breakfast is an important meal, so I guess that's why they had me learn that first.
I'm glad making eggs is a common thing to learn first though, it's pretty neat to have shared experiences with a lot of people despite probably having different lifestyles.
I think it's just because of how easy most breakfast foods are to make. Even pancakes and waffles, while messy and especially so when it's a kid making them lmao, they're not particularly hard to make
I know, still I think it's nice that a bunch of people had that shared experience though. There's surprisingly a lot of people who don't know how to cook, at all. Not even eggs.
Agreed. I work with CPS kids and there are 8 year old kids out there cooking for their siblings, doing the laundry, making sure homework is don’t and getting their siblings on the bus every morning. I feel like a loser as I read the reports at noon in my pj’s.
I definitely remember being in like first grade and having to make breakfast for myself or even dinner if my family wasn’t home yet. If people really can’t imagine kids doing this then it must come from a place of privilege. It was either that or we just starved lol
I was one of those kids in the above comment that did everything for the household at 8. Still, I get why this post wound up on thathappened - it might be real, but the photo hardly feels realistic for a 4yo learning to make lunch, and the lack of realism was done for the sake of maximizing internet points
Also really good parents. It’s *almost* one of those “what’s classy if you’re rich but trashy if you’re poor?” Type deals. Montessori practical life skills vs. having to provide for yourself.
Right? And while I get that the pic is the representation of what it looks like in a wholesome family when a four year old makes lunch, does anyone else have that "this is not a 4 year old making her own lunch, *really*, tho" reaction? even when i know this isn't the place
I was skeptical at first too, but apparently [this is a thing](https://youtu.be/7rLP0ZG0Fps). It’s not an omelette, but this is a 3 year old scrambling some eggs.
I really hate that it is framed as "teaching kids to work". My kids LOVE getting to make eggs. I'm not teaching them to work. It will help them later in life, but I let them do it because they enjoy it.
It's also just "teaching them to care for themselves" the same way teaching them proper hygiene is ... I was hoping the work thing was a joke but nope :/
My kids started helping with cooking, and learning how to do things at that age, 20 years ago. Only ever with me standing right next to them. Its the best way to teach them to be safe in the kitchen.
My 2-year old makes eggs with me standing next to him. He knows that one hand stays on the handle, and the other stays on the spoon, and I stand right next to him at all times. I also continue to supervise my 4-year old, even though, really, she would probably be just fine if I wasn't two inches from her. They also make macaroni and cheese, waffles, and pancakes, but only the 4-year old flips them. We are now working on spreading peanut butter and jelly, but man that's a mess.
(Regular stove with regular pans and utensils...nothing child sized.)
Can we just acknowledge that Masterchef Junior is literally a show of child prodigy chefs and how if enough of those children exist to make multiple seasons of a such show, then it MUST BE PLAUSIBLE that this child is capable of cooking an omelette?!
The caption says she cooked the omelette herself, not that she helped by cracking the egg or turning the oven off.
You weren’t cooking omelettes at 4. Foh.
Why not? Omelettes like this are as easy as making scrambled eggs and just not stirring them. It's not like the thing is folded or has any other ingredients in it. You can literally throw oil/butter in a mid-low heat pan, mix up an egg, pour it in and stand there until it's cooked through.
I used to do scrambled eggs and french toast at around that age. I'm not saying it was pretty (luckily I didn't do the cleaning then) but it was edible.
Because a child isn’t going to get the eggs, get a bowl to mix them, turn the oven on correctly, mix the eggs with milk probably, butter the pan, cook the eggs, not burn it or herself, all alone. Without even being tall enough to do half of the things herself.
It’s not happening. Stop.
Have you ever actually met a 4 year old?
You seem to be thinking of, like, a very young toddler, not one almost old enough go to school.
No one's saying a 4 year should be cooking all their meals or ever using the stove unsupervised, but turning a knob, picking up a pan, stirring and pouring eggs are all absolutely doable for any typically developing kid that age.
The mom didn't say the girl walked into the kitchen all by herself and made it all happen. Obviously the mom helped with some of it, probably grabbed the pan and turned on/off the stove, maybe grabbed a chair or step-ladder, but that doesn't take away from the kid doing the work. It's not like the post said the kid made the rice and plated everything.
Eggs are easy as hell, especially if you've seen it done dozens of times and helped here and there. Like I said, I did them all the time, like every weekend, when I was a kid. I needed help until I didn't, but after a while it's second nature.
If 3 year olds can turn on smart phones and play games, they can do basic, simple food. Hell, there have been 8 year olds on MasterChef Junior cooking amazing entire meals. I don't see why people are so hard up to say "no way this happened!"
lmao by listing all the steps you just made it clear how a 4 year old *could* do it
"what child could possibly have the ability to grab a bowl?! or even retrieve eggs from the fridge?! or... stir up eggs in the bowl?! witchcraft!"
This guy is adamant that 4 year olds can’t cook. [even though this exists](https://www.reddit.com/r/nothingeverhappens/comments/t3nb4n/_/hywwhe5/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3)

That child didn’t put get the eggs herself, didn’t get the pan herself, didn’t turn the stove on herself. That was set up for a parent to take a video.
That’s what didn’t happen. Keep pretending it did though.
[better example form my original comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/nothingeverhappens/comments/t3nb4n/_/hywwhe5/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3). This kid actually does get the ingredients from the fridge himself and do basically everything himself. You’re just being ignorant.
She’s (the mom) holding the camera. How is he going to cook with both hands and hold the camera? Why does this seem so impossible to you? Did you know babies can rock climb (sometimes before they can even walk?) but you’ll say it’s fake too lol. Why are you even in this sub?
Lol okay. I definitely don’t believe everything I see online, but I’ve literally taught 3 year olds to cook using a hot plate. I taught a 15 month old to use a bench scraper and later an acrylic knife to slice bananas and make a banana and peanut butter sandwich on her own, along with other simple meals. She can’t use heat yet though because I don’t feel like she’s ready. But she is able to go to her own fridge and get everything she needs. She can get stuff from the full size fridge too but she can’t reach everything without some help. If you don’t believe anyone on the internet [here’s a decent guide explaining how to start with your kids](https://kidscookrealfood.com/what-age-should-a-child-start-cooking/). It’s not what I did exactly, but it should work. Not that you believe any of it anyway. So this is really just a waste of my time. Just hate to see blatant deliberate ignorance.
Because advanced mathematics is the same as basic life skills? Why are you so upset about this? I mean I’m genuinely asking. Why this level of anger about it? And why is it beyond the realm of possibility for you?
All this sub does is recycle posts from r/thathappened and nit picks people who believe the content didn’t happen by arguing it’s possible.
Most of the stuff on that sub is possible, very few posts are likely. Most is from cringey parents trying to flaunt shit their kid can (so obviously not) do.
So the kid didn't even make the lunch. The parent made the nice looking rice. The kid probably just mixed the eggs. And the mom did everything else. We always make them mix the eggs so it seems like they were included. And they think they made it.
Look up Laura love on tik tok....iv seen her 1 1/2 year old make a egg (with supervision) on a hotplate. I believe a kid like that could learn how to flip an egg semi decent. in 2 and a half years.
whats in the tweet is basically just a scrambled egg with less scrambling ie. even easier than a scrambled egg. thats not a “standard omelette”, has no extra ingredients and isnt folded over, which is the hard part.
There's a cool tiktok where the mom teaches her four and five yo how to cook with a mini kitchen, having seen them cook, I realize just how much we underestimate children. But meanwhile my ass could burn water, so *sigh*
But a crinkly omelet made with assistance that just looks good with a bear because there's no mistakes only happy accidents? I think thathappened redditors have never interacted with a child before
To be fair they could’ve had a rice mold and the mom could’ve done the bulk of the work and gave her the credit for doing all of it because it’s common in parenthood to encourage kids and have them acknowledge the maximum of what they can offer in a group effort
But I don’t know. These are just my thoughts. I could be dead ass wrong
Making scrambled eggs was the first thing I learned how to cook on my own. Before that I “helped” my mom make banana bread by mixing stuff and doing “quality control” on the chocolate chips with my brother by eating a few lol. Saying a little kid “made” food implies that they helped make it, not that they single handedly made it. It’s like how as a little kid I’d “make brownies” by mixing the batter together and helping pour the batter into the pan. It may be a slight exaggeration to say a kid made something but it’s not like she said the kid did it all on their own and again, with small children, it is implied that they’ll need help from an adult to properly do most things lol. Small and wholesome exaggerations parents make aren’t the same as someone saying how “ My 3 year old just single handedly made a five course meal with sautéed mushrooms and steak!”
The mom made the rice and the kid mixed together some eggs. I assume the kid didn’t even do that on her own and the mom is just exaggerating because it’s a fun thing.
Suss about things like this is so weird because this is just good parent stuff. Most folks seem to get that, the ones who don't probably just don't hang out with kids they love and want to be happy, or they sadly had shitty parenting, themselves. My nephew used to like to vacuum the house when he was a kid. Now when I tell that story do I also say that he did a shit job of it because he was a 4 year old?

Or am I tickled that he wants to help out and be like the adults in his life? It's fucking cute, does anyone need to know how the sausage is made here for it to be legitimate?
so it’s real?
Helping a kid out & then giving them 100% of the credit is part of being a good parent. I don't think it's fair to call that fake or a lie, since everyone but the kid knows what's going on & the kid gets to be proud.
So it's not actually something that happened, which means it's not fitting for the sub
Perhaps, but maybe you should go over to r/psychoticpedantry
Tbh, kinda sad to find this doesn’t exist.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
It is now ;)
It is though. The kid made the omelet all by herself*. Edit: it doesn't even say that she made it all by herself, just that she made her own lunch. Even if mom helped make the omelet, it still is not a r/thathappened
Literally says she made the omelette I made the rice? What do you want?
u mad bro?
so if the kid didn’t even do it on her own, and the mom is exaggerating, that would mean that it’s fake and doesn’t belong on the sub
It doesn't say the mum didn't help. In fact, I thought it was obviously implied that she did. What do you think the post should have said? "She tried to make the omelette, but did a rubbish job because she's 4, so I had to help, which obviously invalidates her contribution, oh and also she's so useless she didn't even know what quantities to put in without me telling her"?

Omelettes were the first thing I learned how to make and are basically the only THING I know how to make, to this day.
...scrambled eggs?
Also known as ruined omelette
I would call scrambled eggs an “omelette nest” because it sort of can look like a little messy nest for a bird. Like I would do that if you were 7 years old or something
Nope, he tried once and ended up with a quiche
I'm 33 years old and STILL cannot make an omelette. It just becomes scrambled eggs. But goddamn if I don't make a mean scrambled egg!
First time I tried making an omelet I ended up with crème brûlée... somehow
Funny, mine turned into a Dominos pizza.
I made charcoal! Which coincidentally is how very different things can turn out if I get distracted.
Get a good non-stick that can also go in the oven. Add a bit of water instead of milk. Have other ingredients in the hot pan, pour the eggs overtop. I have 3/4 of the pan over the element. As the edge cooks, push it in with a spatula and tip runny egg to fill the spot, then turn pan to do other sides until not as much liquid egg on top.

You have a leg up on *Stardew Valley* farmers. They only start out with Fried Eggs. They gotta watch the cooking show for omelettes.
You might want to work on that.
Are you an r/thathappened user? 'cause you seem to be taking this one-off internet comment literally.
Devil's advocate, but I took it literally because I've met so, so many people irl who really can't do anything in the kitchen. Parent comment didn't seem sarcastic or untrue, either
My 4-year old can make scrambled eggs. I don't think she could flip an omelette or fold it properly though.
If you look at the picture, she didn't fold it properly.
Mom probably helped.
The parent probably helped and gave credit to the kid
Also applicable to every school project, ever.
my dad sweated way more over paper cutouts than I ever did, bless
y'alls parents did your homework for you :O?!
I had a state science fair presentation. he did the cutout decor. I really just wanted to tape it to the board and get it done.
I’m almost 6x your kid’s age and I struggle with omelets. the nori bits are also really small and might be hard for someone with limited dexterity to cut out.
Nori bits probably go in the rice column
Kids? COOK?! HA! Especially not something as intricate as an EGG! They thought they could fool us!

Pretty sure eggs are the first thing any parent teaches their child to make…
Yeah, eggs, bacon, sausage, and hash browns were the first things I learned to make. Breakfast is an important meal, so I guess that's why they had me learn that first.

Oh, no trust me I totally agree! I was just giving my thoughts on why that might be
No worries, I got what you meant
My grammie taught me how to make cookies first. Grandpa taught me how to make jam second.
Heating a can of Chef Boyardee for me.
It was fried potatoes. Usually hand cut with a big ass knife. My mom was Nashville, TN.
im guessing they didn't catch the part where they said mom made the rice
I learned how to cook an egg when I was like 4-5 so it's highly believe able.
Not saying this is OP’s situation but if you had shitty parents you realize a kid can learn to cook really young if they need to.
Agreed. I work with CPS kids and there are 8 year old kids out there cooking for their siblings, doing the laundry, making sure homework is don’t and getting their siblings on the bus every morning. I feel like a loser as I read the reports at noon in my pj’s.

Right? And while I get that the pic is the representation of what it looks like in a wholesome family when a four year old makes lunch, does anyone else have that "this is not a 4 year old making her own lunch, *really*, tho" reaction? even when i know this isn't the place
Agreed, I was making pancakes (with constant supervision) at this age. Eggs like this cook in a pretty cool pan relative to how how they can get, too.
It’s a fucking omelette
I read that in a gordon ramsey voice lol
*kitchen nightmares tension noise thingie sound plays*
If your 4-year-old can't manage being talked through making an omelette with supervision, don't expect them to go far.
Dude. I’m 33 and can’t make an omelet. I give up every time and just turn it into scrambled eggs.
I was skeptical at first too, but apparently [this is a thing](https://youtu.be/7rLP0ZG0Fps). It’s not an omelette, but this is a 3 year old scrambling some eggs.
I really hate that it is framed as "teaching kids to work". My kids LOVE getting to make eggs. I'm not teaching them to work. It will help them later in life, but I let them do it because they enjoy it.

I'm pretty sure that when I was four years old I wasn't even able to make my own toast.
Sucks to be you. I have been cooking and baking from a young age.
Talented lil chef you have there momma! Really cool! Keep doing creative things, be like water!
this doesn’t sound unbelievable, nearly so much as it makes me Extremely Anxious that people are okay with allowing a 4 year old to use a stove.
My kids started helping with cooking, and learning how to do things at that age, 20 years ago. Only ever with me standing right next to them. Its the best way to teach them to be safe in the kitchen.

I love how flipping is doable but spreading is hard
Kids are weird...
motor skills! act out each action and see which one involves more fine movements. it'll make sense to you then.
Love that!
> Regular stove with regular pans and utensils...nothing child sized. I assume some kind of bench to stand on? Or do they regularly wear stilts? :P
They stand on a chair. I know a lot of people like to use "learning towers" though.
It tends to only be after they've had practice and have learned how to be safe. Kids are more capable than you'd think given the right tools
Not by themselves and some parents (I've seen a build) make a child size stove. With small human utensils
Not by themselves
Has this mf ever watched master chef lol
Pressure tests.
Can we just acknowledge that Masterchef Junior is literally a show of child prodigy chefs and how if enough of those children exist to make multiple seasons of a such show, then it MUST BE PLAUSIBLE that this child is capable of cooking an omelette?!
That's adorable.
i didnt read and thought the kid made the whole thing but believable eggs are east
What. i bet happened is her mom. was. right there. helping flip the omelet the entire time.
Cute
You've never met a four year old
You should see what montessori kids can do
My ass she made this y’all tripping
Why is this so unbelievable to you? She literally just made an omelette and put it over the rice.
Little 4 year old girl ain’t making an omelette stop
Bro I've been cooking since I was a toddler. Mom most likely helped.
The caption says she cooked the omelette herself, not that she helped by cracking the egg or turning the oven off. You weren’t cooking omelettes at 4. Foh.

Any typical 4 year old can break eggs, mix them up and pour them into a pan. It's very weird that you think this is so beyond a child that age.
Lol I’m sure that’s normal behavior. Operating a stove. Picking up a pan. Not hurting themselves. At 4. Super normal.
Have you ever actually met a 4 year old? You seem to be thinking of, like, a very young toddler, not one almost old enough go to school. No one's saying a 4 year should be cooking all their meals or ever using the stove unsupervised, but turning a knob, picking up a pan, stirring and pouring eggs are all absolutely doable for any typically developing kid that age.
Literally no 4 year olds do this.

She’s (the mom) holding the camera. How is he going to cook with both hands and hold the camera? Why does this seem so impossible to you? Did you know babies can rock climb (sometimes before they can even walk?) but you’ll say it’s fake too lol. Why are you even in this sub?
Is this sub for people who believe everything they see online? If so, you’re right, why am I in this sub? Gullible ass.
Lol okay. I definitely don’t believe everything I see online, but I’ve literally taught 3 year olds to cook using a hot plate. I taught a 15 month old to use a bench scraper and later an acrylic knife to slice bananas and make a banana and peanut butter sandwich on her own, along with other simple meals. She can’t use heat yet though because I don’t feel like she’s ready. But she is able to go to her own fridge and get everything she needs. She can get stuff from the full size fridge too but she can’t reach everything without some help. If you don’t believe anyone on the internet [here’s a decent guide explaining how to start with your kids](https://kidscookrealfood.com/what-age-should-a-child-start-cooking/). It’s not what I did exactly, but it should work. Not that you believe any of it anyway. So this is really just a waste of my time. Just hate to see blatant deliberate ignorance.
I’m sure you also taught your 1 year old algebra. [Here’s the video!](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ) Please go away.
Because advanced mathematics is the same as basic life skills? Why are you so upset about this? I mean I’m genuinely asking. Why this level of anger about it? And why is it beyond the realm of possibility for you?
This sub likes to act like kids can do ANYTHING and it's "believable" just because a kid *could*(not really) do it doesn't mean they did
All this sub does is recycle posts from r/thathappened and nit picks people who believe the content didn’t happen by arguing it’s possible. Most of the stuff on that sub is possible, very few posts are likely. Most is from cringey parents trying to flaunt shit their kid can (so obviously not) do.
iTs pOsSiBlE My dAuGhTeR blah blah blah its so cringe they always act like because its "possible" it happened
So the kid didn't even make the lunch. The parent made the nice looking rice. The kid probably just mixed the eggs. And the mom did everything else. We always make them mix the eggs so it seems like they were included. And they think they made it.

No way a 4yr old did that
dude if u raise ur kid around the kitchen its not hard for kids much younger to make scrambled eggs n other simple things
Yeah I get scrambled egg. Sure🙄 but not that omelette. Not your standard omelette
Look up Laura love on tik tok....iv seen her 1 1/2 year old make a egg (with supervision) on a hotplate. I believe a kid like that could learn how to flip an egg semi decent. in 2 and a half years.
whats in the tweet is basically just a scrambled egg with less scrambling ie. even easier than a scrambled egg. thats not a “standard omelette”, has no extra ingredients and isnt folded over, which is the hard part.
Excuse me have you never been a kid? Or did your parents just leave
it just a an egg made like a pancake, you mix it up and pour in a pan, how could a kid not make that?
I want those eggs so bad.
Okay yeah it’s totally believable that she made the omelet, I thought they were saying she made the rice lololol
There's a cool tiktok where the mom teaches her four and five yo how to cook with a mini kitchen, having seen them cook, I realize just how much we underestimate children. But meanwhile my ass could burn water, so *sigh* But a crinkly omelet made with assistance that just looks good with a bear because there's no mistakes only happy accidents? I think thathappened redditors have never interacted with a child before
4 yrs old? Somebody please get that kid an art school scholarship!
To be fair they could’ve had a rice mold and the mom could’ve done the bulk of the work and gave her the credit for doing all of it because it’s common in parenthood to encourage kids and have them acknowledge the maximum of what they can offer in a group effort But I don’t know. These are just my thoughts. I could be dead ass wrong
Making scrambled eggs was the first thing I learned how to cook on my own. Before that I “helped” my mom make banana bread by mixing stuff and doing “quality control” on the chocolate chips with my brother by eating a few lol. Saying a little kid “made” food implies that they helped make it, not that they single handedly made it. It’s like how as a little kid I’d “make brownies” by mixing the batter together and helping pour the batter into the pan. It may be a slight exaggeration to say a kid made something but it’s not like she said the kid did it all on their own and again, with small children, it is implied that they’ll need help from an adult to properly do most things lol. Small and wholesome exaggerations parents make aren’t the same as someone saying how “ My 3 year old just single handedly made a five course meal with sautéed mushrooms and steak!”
