A recent Reddit post titled "I had to be the dumbest 5th grader out there" has captured the internet’s attention with a side-splitting handwritten list. The post features a photograph of a lined paper with a messy yet endearing list titled "list of the foods I don't like"—though humorously misspelled as "toods." The internet is loving the innocent and imaginative mind of what appears to be a fifth grader.

The list, written in pencil, includes:

1. Egg Plant

2. moldy cheese

3. Rotten egg

4. Washing dishes

5. flat tires

6. BIG spiders (with "BIG spiders" notably circled).

The inclusion of non-food items such as "Washing dishes," "flat tires," and "BIG spiders" has prompted a wave of amused reactions from Redditors. One user commented, “You have to cook flat tires the right way,” while another quipped, “Are you sure this is from 5th grade? Seems developmentally younger.”

Another user, possibly a parent, humorously suggested, “I think they just forgot the name for ‘crab’ and called it ‘big spider.’” This whimsical take on childhood memory and comprehension has struck a chord with many, as another comment reflected, “The train of thought derailed a bit halfway through.”

One of the most entertaining aspects of the list is the assortment of dislikes, which range from the understandable "moldy cheese" to the outright bizarre "flat tires." Reflecting this, a Redditor joked, “I agree with the kid. Flat tires are nasty. They need to be plump and full.”

The post has also sparked nostalgic reflections on childhood quirks. One commenter noted, “When you just discovered the concept of dislike as a child and need to constantly remind everyone of said dislikes.” Others reminisced about their own youthful misunderstandings with another adding, "Nah, we all did dumb stuff as kids. Part of growing up."

To add to the hilarity, some users have suggested alternative interpretations of the list. One user humorously asked, “Moldy cheese? What's wrong with blue cheese or Gorgonzola? These are delicacies kid.”

Despite the apparent silliness, the list has a certain charm that has resonated deeply with Reddit users. The post humorously reflects the innocent and often illogical mindset of children, inviting readers to look back fondly on their own childhood misconceptions.

Ultimately, the viral list titled "list of the foods I don't like" is a delightful reminder of the whimsical and imaginative nature of children, and it continues to spread joy and laughter across the internet.

He's not wrong though. What kind of monster enjoys eating big spiders, tyres, or dishes?
