1	''[[https://www.youtube.com/user/boredshortstv Kid History]]'' is a WebVideoSeries on Website/{{YouTube}} created by various members of the Roberts family -- most notably, the children. In each episode, [[UnreliableNarrator the kids]] tell their own VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory version of something that happened in the lives of the adults. While their narration and dialogue plays, the adults then act out whatever their children ''said'' happened, usually playing their younger selves, and matching their actions and dialog with the kid's version.

3	Another series hosted on their [=YouTube=] channel called ''Kid Snippets'' features a similar premise where a couple of the kids act out a purely fictional story based on a prompt, again with the adults acting out the result.
