Being around children gives you license.
To wave to strangers travelling on trams.
To stare at the blokes who are resurfacing the road.
To do colouring-in with waxy crayons.
To play dress-ups.
To ride on the little train that operates at the shopping mall during school holidays.
And to muck around with glow sticks.
Tip: keep glow sticks in the freezer (this slows the reaction between the hydrogen peroxide and phenol, extending their life) so you can get a proper turn after the kids have gone to bed.
Yes, fun fun fun, atleast your children's waving is considered too zealous by a plain clothes federal policeman & mummy gets pulled over. YES, REALLY!! No fine or anything, seriously, get a life Mr Fed, they had seat belts on, i was driving straight, country road home!!
ReplyDeleteTip for young players: with those glow sticks, the cheap ones can leak so don't fling them around or they'll get covered in chemicals & look like they're at a rave. We get the Army grade cyloome sticks, good enough to guide a chopper in, good enough for a murder in the dark game in our hallways!! Love Posie
Wow those are SO cool! I would have never thought to do that with them!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh I Love the little trains....toot toot!
ReplyDeleteAnd Posie...WHAT army grade cyloome sticks...get out..where can I get my hands on those?!
I just happen to have a big bag of sticks that we bought in Perth Last year which are right now about to go into the freezer...thx for the reminder!
Awesome.
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you for that tip! Must get some in for the up-and-coming 2 year old ;)
ReplyDeleteI love playing with glow sticks :D I do all those things without kids lol but sadly the blokes resurfacing the road around here are not worth looking at :p
ReplyDeleteI think I need to be around more kids, sounds like so much fun.x
ReplyDeleteand have you palyed with dollhouse when they aren't around???
ReplyDeleteI agree!! Now I get to visit Santa, go to water parks, and color to my hearts content. My kids let me re-live my childhood all the time -- thanks for reminding me.
ReplyDeleteI love being able to point at trams and diggers and puppy dogs, while naming them very loudly (with exclamation marks! after! each!).
ReplyDeletebe very very careful they will grow up to weave dresses like this
