Sometimes kids just don't know how accidentally cruel they can be.

In today's episode of Kids being funny or adults lying for fake internet points, a niece breaks the hard truth to her balding uncle.

Redditor TheToolMan, which is obviously Tim Taylor from Home Improvement, shared a photo of a letter that his niece recently sent him. In the post headline, he explains that he and his niece typically send each other funny cards.

The poem reads:

Roses are red,

violets are blue,

you are still bald,

and you can not change that at all!!!!!

Next to the poem is a photo of the girl's uncle labeled as "bald man." Above that, she basically taunts him like any kid would with a series of na nas.

Harsh, kid. Harsh. At least she ended the letter with a few smiley faces to let him know that she was just kidding.
