Think like a Kid Stay Sane Forever
Child thought process is one of the true joys of life. Watching young ones in their imaginative antics amuses many individuals. These imaginations take them all over the place. (And cause them to do all kinds of things as you see in the image above (a person at works kids)). Kids are to be appreciated for their inhibited desire to amuse and think abstractly.
As adults some of us lose that, and are happy with it. Some lose it, but remember it and appreciate this quality in children. AND SOME NEVER LOSE IT. This is the best state to be in. The ability to play with the kids and not just sail on the ship, but notice that its taking on water and being taken over by Tongrocks (little furry animals with beaks that eat all our pizza on board). Yes, never losing ones childhood imagination is something we should all work toward.
So show this today, go buy some magic markers (preferably the permanent type) go find your brother or sister (if they are 18,25, or 45). And draw something on their face when they are asleep. (or just scribble). BTW Darcie, Stephanie... I should see you in a couple of weeks.... hahaha.

And I know what you mean by never loosing your childhood, my dad is a good ex of that, he's a 60 year old with the heart of a 16 year old.

This is so cute!! Brings back to mind some of the things i used to do to Ashley. When i was two i tried to pick her up once(she, about a month old).I accidently dropped her. We had her checked at the hospital after that and she turned out fine.

Seeing that black stuff all over that little baby's face made me laugh hysterically, as it called to mind a similar experience that occurred in my family not too many years ago. I'll share it with you.
My twin sister (identical) and I were 11. Our younger sister was 10. Anyway, my father forbid us to wear make-up. We were not even allowed to tamper with the stuff.But I just couldn't help myself. I reasoned: "If I just put it on real light and natural looking, he will never know the difference." So,I found an old (like about 10 years old)tube of my mother's mascara. And you gals know exactly what old mascara does, right? It's extremely thick and chunky, and it makes you look like you have a total of 4 eyelashes. Needless to say, I put it on. But guess who came trotting up the stairs right about then-DAD! And I realized that this was a definite problem, as my eyes were far from looking natural. I had to do something QUICK!I grabbed the first thing I could think of (my Dad's toothbrush)and started combing those babies out. I threw the toothbrush back into the cupboard, as my father walked past the bathroom without even noticing. WHEW! Thank Goodness! I was safe, or so I thought. You see, I forgot about the evidence-the toothbrush. My Dad had to leave for work the next morning very early on a business trip. So at 4:00 a.m. he staggers into the bathroom and begins to brush his teeth.But when he looked into the mirror,what did he see? YEP! Black foam all over his face. At first, he thought there was something wrong with the toothpaste. So he squeezed some from the tube to check it out-perfectly fine.Then he yelled for my sisters and I to come in and questioned us to see who the criminal was. All three of us gave the same response:"I don't know.It wasn't me." My father's reaction: "So nobody knows what this is or who put it there, huh? Alright then, this is what I'm going to do. I'm going to beat all three of you, so that I will be sure to get the one who did it." Definitely a PROBLEM!My sisters began to cry, and I just couldn't take it any more. I confessed that it was me.Did I get a beatin'? No, WAY WORSE!He wanted to know why in tarnation I didn't use my own doggone toothbrush and thus followed an hour lecture on how the cupboard has five shelves, he only has one. And if he catches one female hair on it, we're all dead ducks...blah...blah...blah. Well anyway, you get the gist of it all.
And now that I'm grown? Well, I definitely don't touch his toothbrush. But ocassionaly,I'll use his deodorant. Hey!Desperate times call for desperate measures.And besides that, if guys like the smell of it, they ought to like it even better on a woman, right?(Now that's what you call a mountain mama! HA HA)And well we just can't forget his razor. The blade is always sharp, when I use it!
