How do I create a script that gets a random child?

✓ Accepted answer
parent = workspace.Model
local rng = math.random(1, #parent:GetChildren())
rng is a random number between 1 and the amount of children the instance has.
If an instance has 5 children, it will be a number from 1 to 5.
With this we can select a random child from the instance.
local child = parent:GetChildren()[rng]

:GetChildren() returns a table of all the children, so you could do something like thing:GetChildren()[math.random(1, #thing:GetChildren())] which would give you a random child.
