Parents can be weird. The stuff in their house can be even weirder. It’s not just kids that collect toys, strange-looking dolls, and random memorabilia. Parents can take it to the next level of odd.
Here are 75 parents who have more than a few strange things hidden around the house.
#1 The ventriloquist dummy
There is nothing creepier than a ventriloquist dummy staring out the window. The fact that there are no ventriloquists in the house only makes it that much creepier.

#2 The frog
This frog is enjoying his life. He is just riding his turtle and minding his own business. Everything is perfectly normal here. Perfectly normal…

#3 The dog lamp
This was meant to help children be less afraid of the dark. Now, that fear is replaced with a dread of seeing a glowing dog in the dark.

If you pull the string, he dances. That only makes it weirder.

#16 Doll heads
His mom calls it a doll collection. Is it really a doll collection if it’s only the heads?

#17 Password organizer
Older parents need a little help with the internet. Apparently, these parents needed a book on how to manage passwords. It’s probably better than giving everything the password “password1.”

#24 Fairy time
This is one very opulent and artistic clock. What are the odds that it still works?

NatalieZed via Twitter

Does this sign actually belong here? Is it trying to say something about the music produced by the family pianist?

Sometimes, there’s a bare wall that needs something to liven it up. This is what they chose.

This somehow makes both Jesus and Santa unnerving at the same time. Too bad there’s no summer break from having to see it.
Source:
LoriRuder via Twitter
#45 #healthatbelljesus
His mom loved this picture. Now, it hides in the back of a closet. Parents may have weird choices, but they are their choices. These are the same people who let you wear mismatch socks when you thought they were in style.

Are we sure this is Elvis? This looks like the action hero version of Elvis.

This is a blast from the past for those who remember. For the rest of us, it’s just slightly bizarre.

Elephants and unicorns don’t usually go together. Even when they’re standing next to each other, they still don’t go together.

Source:

#67 Singing angels
These angels are singing their hearts out. Sure, they’re not standard, but they’re still not the creepy dolls.

#68 Prayer bell
Parents collect some unusual things over the years. In this case, they decided the house needed a giant prayer bell.
Source:

#69 Everything
Why throw anything away? If you keep it long enough, it might become a valuable antique. If that fails, you’ll have several hundred doorstops.

#70 Everything eclectic
Hippie parents can be embarrassing to their non-hippy children. This is proof of that.
Source:
BrandonDillon75 via Twitter
#71 Inquisitive mirror
The question seems somewhat out of place in a bathroom. Super religious parents can be a little pushy sometimes. Apparently, even their bathroom mirrors can be pushy.

#72 Randomness
Parents can keep some weird things. This is either a diorama or a random box of stuff.
