12 oblivious kids who don't realise that they've drawn penises

It's a truth universally acknowledged that kids will scribble unwitting penises EVERYWHERE

Drawings by our kids are supposed to be masterpieces that we treasure forever.

When it comes to most of their artwork, we'll keep it stuck to the fridge well into their teens, or turn it into adorable greeting cards for relatives to display just as proudly.

But what about those times when our little ones' artworks end up looking more risqué than Monet?

We know that kids say the darnedest (or sometimes, creepiest) things, but when they get the wrong end of the pencil too, it is absolutely priceless.

Don't just take it from us - these parents prove their children's talents are well beyond their years. They've got a sense of humour, that's for sure...
