Silly Things Only Kids Can Do

Tammy White
Wouldn't you love to be a kid again and play games with your friends all day? How much fun would it be to throw a tantrum at work if things didn't go your way? Why use utensils when you could eat with your feet? "Did you know I just went poop?" Find out ridiculous things only kids could do in my list of ten below.

1.
Run around naked- "What happened to your shirt?" "Close the door to the bathroom!" "Did you forget to pull up your pants?" Getting clothes on your child can be a challenge. "It's not a naked beach!"

2.
Eat like a pig- Would you feed your child spaghetti in a new white shirt? Would you let them drink grape juice in their bedroom? "How did yogurt get stuck to my new chandelier?" "Stop sticking those peas up your nose!"

3.
Throw a tantrum- Nobody throws a tantrum like a toddler at the mall. "I want a piece of candy!" Isn't the floor a perfect place lay down and start screaming? Kids never hide their emotions!

4.
Sleep anywhere- Would you sleep on the couch with your head upside down? Could you sleep while being carried? Kids can sleep anywhere day or night. They fall asleep while eating!

5.
Watch Barney- Would an adult watch Barney with no kids around? Why is Dora amusing to kids? Children could watch re-runs of Elmo all day. Parents need earplugs and beer!

6.
Hide from strangers- Wouldn't it be great to ignore perfect strangers? Why not hide behind your spouse? When your boss asks you questions hide under your desk. Stare blankly and walk away!

7.
Make giant messes- As adults we know cleaning up is a pain. It's hard to think messes are fun. Kids still think shoveling a driveway is great. "What happened to all those beads?"

8.
Take baths with toys- Kids blow bubbles, make waves and drink water from the tub. Bath time is just a big game. Hot tubs aren't usually stocked with toy boats. We use too much space in the tub!

9.
Wear costumes- Kids could wear costumes to school every day. "That boy with the cape is cool!" Could you dress up for work like a monster or witch? Wear a mask when you go to the bank!

10.
Say anything- Kids are great at speaking their mind. They tell it like it is. "She's crazy!" "He's weird!" "That guy has boobs!" Why do adults think before speaking?

Are kids even human or their own unique species? Children do crazy things. "I went swimming in mud!" "I can walk upside down!" "I'm wearing four pairs of pants!" Kids are entertaining and fun to watch. They never stop to think. Adult's behavior must seem silly to kids. "You think reading the paper is fun?"

    I like it when you ask a child a question and they just stare at you like there's a bug on your nose.
