I got this list in my email today, and loved it. I think sometimes we get so caught up in being a grown-up that we forget how much fun we used to have. What do you do when you want to act like a kid?

Act like a kid today:

1) Give yourself a gold star for everything you do today.

2) Grow a milk mustache.

3) Open a pack of cupcakes and give one to a friend even though you wanted both of them for yourself.

4) Have a staring contest with your cat.

5) Kiss a frog, just in case.

6) Make a face the next time somebody tells you "no." I really love this one

7) Ask "Why?" a lot. this one too

8) Believe in fairy tales.

9) Have someone read you a story.

10) Wear your favorite shirt with your favorite pants even if they don't match.

11) Do a cartwheel.

12) Hide your vegetables under your napkin.

13) Make a "slurpy" sound with your straw when you get to the bottom of a
milkshake.

14) Sit really still for as long as the dog (or cat) is asleep in your lap.

15) Find some pretty stones and save them. I still do this

16) Stick your head out the car window and moo if you see a cow.

17) Walk barefoot in wet grass.

18) Giggle at nude statues in a museum.

19) Make cool screeching noises every time you turn. Been known to do this

20) Count the colors in a rainbow.

21) Fuss a little, then take a nap.

22) Take a running jump over a big puddle.

23) Giggle a lot for no real reason.

24) Do that tap-someone-on-the-shoulder-while-you-stand-on-
their-opposite-side-and-they-turn-around-and-no-one's- there thing.

25) Enjoy your all-time favorite candy-bar. (Forget you've heard of calories!)

26) Throw something and when it lands make a cool exploding bomb noise. This, too

27) Squish some mud between your toes.

28) Buy yourself a helium balloon.

29) Put an orange slice in your mouth, peel side out, and smile at people. dare I confess?
 
I am wearing my favorite shirt and pants

I've only recently discovered "The Gilmore Girls" in re-runs. Lorelai wouldn't need to do these things--she does them as a normal part of her life. The actress does a wonderful job of protraying an adult who hasn't forgotten how to be silly and fun.

I just did the cartwheel, and now I hurt a lot. Guess I'll do the nap next.

Thanks for sharing Cloudy, these are fun.
 
30) count the stairs going up, knock on the banister three times, and touch the door, so the boogie man doesn't get me


31) make ski-marks with my fork in the mashed potatoes


32) don't walk on the cracks

33) wonder what it would be like to fly


34) pretend I'm a giant when I watch the ants

35) hide under my mum's dress when the scary window cleaner comes (i don't do this one anymore, but feel like doing it sometimes)

36) kiss my best friend and tell her she'll be my friend for ever

37) try to sing and whistle at the same time

38) record myself on a tape recorder and make a radio progam

39) pitch a tent in the garden and sleep there
 
40) Make a sibling crazy

41) Call your parents and tell them you love them

42) Eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch

43) ride a bike today
 
44) Look at people through the tines of a fork, and pretend they're in jail.

45) Pinch people's heads off: squint while you look at someone across the room, and "pinch" their heads with your fingers. (my kids love this)

46) Chase the dog with a remote-controlled car.
 
47) Take a running start and 'surf' across an icey parking lot. Just did this in front of my crew.

48) Blow bubbles in your milk with a straw.

49) Skip down a hallway.

50) Make faces at the driver next to you at a stop light.
 
In your carpool ask, "Are we there yet?" once every thirty seconds.

49. Take kids toys into the office, and surprise people by using them. I have one of those guns that shoots foam rings. Even better, a colleage has one too, and when it gets too heavy we have shoot offs over the book case, and then spend hours trying to find them.

50. Make balls out of rubber bands, cover them with sticky tape and bounce them around the office. Make sure the windows aren't open. :D
 
51. Sing loads of silly nursery rhymes and tell daft jokes

52. Tickle people!

I work with children everyday and I don't think I could ever give it up because I have too much fun joining all their games! :D

I never grew up I'm twelve inside its just the outside and having to pretend to work for a living that lets ne down.

The best thing about being an over age child is you can stay up as long as you like and the second best is no one says no to that oversized remote control car you can actually sit in just like action man (with gripping hands and eagle eyes) did when you wos a younger child.

Tantrums are more effective too!


FREEDOM FOR ALL FORTY SOMETHING TWELVE YEAR OLDS EVERYWHERE!

:D

Love it!!!

When someone asks you a question, answer with, "because."

If someone calls you a name, say "I know you are, but what am I?"
 
got some bubble soap and blow bubbles in your back yard

Fly a kite

suck the helium out of a balloon, then make crank calls to your friends and family



I never want to grow up.... if you do, you stop seeing the wonder in things. :)
 
Bounce up and down on your bed, so your head touches the ceiling.

(It's even more fun to do that when being an adult. :p)
 
Give random people belly raspberries.

(Ok, so I never did that as a kid, but...)
