Love it!!!

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

Because why?

 

[sweetnpetite]

Do you mean to say we weren't supposed to be doing these things all along?

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?

this could be a very grown up thing to do, lol

Put the smarties under your top lip over your teeth. See how many you can stuff up there without them falling.

Steal SpongeBob merchandise from your friend's pre-schooler.

Buy Happy Meals for the toys.

Play with your action figures. Out of the box.

Do "motorcycle ears" on your dog. Sounds stupid, but try it. You'll know what I'm talking about.

Cry if you feel like it.

This thread keeps popping up. I feel the need to reply to it.

I wouldn't be a kid again for all the tea in China.

Maybe you could just be childish with us, Rob, and enjoy it this time around?

Play Chubby Bunny: get a bag of the large marshmallows, and put one in your mouth (no chewing or swallowing!) and say "chubby bunny." Repeat as often as you can.....remember, you can't chew them or swallow them. I've just about passed out laughing doing this, and it wasn't all that long ago.

Share a popsicle...

 

[LadyCibelle]

Walk hand in hand with your best friend;

Say I love you and mean it;

Have your mom or dad rock you when you feel sad I still ask my dad to do that when I'm really sad;

Lie on the grass and make shapes with the clouds;

Take a bath and play with a rubber ducky;

 

[cloudy]

Play Hide & Seek with other adults, and mean it....play it with a vengeance.

yes, I've been known to do this

Don't play chubby bunny! It can kill you. Seriously.

Because of the substance of marshmellos, you could suck them in when you are laughing -or have to many stuffed in there- and get logded. Unlike other foods, they won't disolve and they are near impossible to get dislogded. (was it near impossible or impossible?-I don't remember)

I remember a few years ago there was a news story about a girl who died while playing this game.

Well, I did something today, as is me, but if I told you, then it would not be a good deed, would it I give myself no stars, just because I feel too good most days, and do what I think is right, and good to care. It may not mesh with others, but I don't care.

Not to detract :| Stars . . .hm, I deserve what others give. However, I do get one for turnig people on with stories!

I knew there was a reason I loved you.

Other than leeky balloons.
