This is why we can't have nice things.

A precocious child recently mistook London's Tate Modern museum for a really awesome playground.

UPDATE: Hyperallergic spoke to the parents of the offending children. It turns out the adults in the photo above are are actually the kids' aunt and uncle. (This post has been amended to reflect that fact.)Read more about it here.
