Be a kid again

hhope1 · #1 (**permalink**) 04-08-2006, 08:02 PM

This weekend stop being an adult and return to your youth.

Here's some simple ideas for getting in touch with your inner child

-fingerpaint the walls. Don't worry about clean up just do it.

-buy snaps and sparklers and run around with them lit up like we used to do as children. You have to do this in the dark.

-Load up on antacids and eat as many chili dogs or your favorite childhood food as you can. You may up with internal fireworks of your own after this.

-get on a skateboard again. This is also something to do if you've never been on a skateboard. You may want to check you health insurance before you do this.

-find that guy or girl you've been crunching on and kiss them like its your first kiss all over again.

-Build a Lego castle.

-build a cushion fort.

Any other ideas?

lol
ya make me laugh hhope1

especially like the kiss like it's your first time,
sounds really nice, i bet it would turn out to be a really good weekend

my idea of a good weekend is to spend it with someone special, so to make it creative, do creative things with your partner perhaps

play something new, go somewhere new, the most important thing is that you both share some good moments together, I think that matters the most

what do others think?

I'm a little worried that some of these activities might get you arrested or admitted to a hospital, psychiatric or otherwise.

Although it's really healthy to just throw caution to the wind and do whatever you want every so often. (Not too often though, or you'll end up spending all your time cleaning up afterwards!)

I'd like to spend a weekend lying in a bathtub full of those things which smell nice, reading a good book, listening to music and eating chocolate.

I think this might be more a case of getting in touch with my inner thirty-something woman.

Hey fun to be a kid again at any age but have to agree watch the activites. Some of us are old ha ha.

But going to a fair and take in some rides are fun.

Going to a kids movie is great.

Go to the beach and build sand castle.

That is my kids stuff.

Oh that is fun with the snaps and sparklers. I like getting some and when the grandchildren come over we light them and they really enjoy and me too..

But as adults I hope everyone would be watching the saftey.

I remember as a child getting the paper snaps that went in a snap gun. But wewould put it on cement and use a rock and hit them till the snap.

Had a lot of fun when we were children and like to visit that time again for the fun.

yea i remember we would pop those paper snaps too except i had never used a rock to pop them. I also liked the sparklers too, but what i really were those fireworks. (The pretty kind of fireworks.) :D Well i used to pop fireworls but like i guess my dad doesnt like buying any, so instead i have to watch other people light fireworks. :cry:

well like peachey said, we should all be watching the safety.

Sorry for getting in between both of you.
but nothing can be exciting than being a kid again. Emmm, i would llike to run across rooms ahead of my mom who is trying to catch me and I would say catch me if you can!!!!
or
taking my bro's toys to tease him. Playing old days home games with my cousions and nieces.
There are many things I would like to do as a child again.
Ohh, that was so fun making and exciting can't forget.

oH LOTS OF THINGS I WOULD DO
one of things I guess I really miss is my friends in grade school. We has so much fun going swimming, fishing , just hanging out and have not a care in the world.

we did not have video or computers so we had to find things to do and since you are 13 some of them I will not say due to the fact they were not right but fun doing them and I dont want to be a bad infunce on you. ha ha

Like sanuanu I also would love to do those things and just have fun again as a kid with no worried as a grown up.....

Peachey, that sounds like great fun. We didn't have computer games and things when I was a kid either - I think you have a lot more fun getting outdoors and playing games with your friends, rather than staying inside with your eyes on a screen!

peachey · #13 (**permalink**) 08-11-2006, 05:03 AM

That's the great thing about kids - they give you the perfect excuse to go and do kid things!
