National Let a Kid do Somethin they want week...
 (Small).jpg)
I have declared this national Let a kid do what they want week. You remember those moments growing up when you wanted to do something, but you didn't get to. And actually now that you look back at the fact... there is no reason you shouldn't have.
Good example ... above. Remember wanting to paint someone up or being painted up? Remember wanting to dress up like a pirate and go into town? Remember wanting to fill the bathtub with jello and get your boats out? Remember wanting to invent things with the spices in the kitchen? Remember wanting to blow up your action figures?
Well help a kid do one of their dreams this week...
This ends this public service announcement.

I wanted a high top fade. Thank god my parents stopped me from doing that. But I'm all for letting some kid whatever he/she wants to do. . .as long as they don't do it around me. No I kid, I kid. Come on children! To Jeremy's house!

As a parent I would like to launch a formal complaint against this nonsense. The last thing we need is a child doing whatever he wants around the house. As if there aren't enough children doing whatever they want, walking all over their parents! No! Not I, friend! I announce this week as National Discipline a Child For No Apparent Reason Week! Hah! Take that!

yeah i'm all about discipline... yet as the uncle of many children (well inherited uncle)... its my job to spoil the kids... as for my own kids.. when that day comes, well I'll possibly join your cause.
Till then... Children of the world express your creativity in a unique method of nonsense.

When I first saw the picture I thought "So is this a new version of pinchy/the makeup game or...?" haha

May you have a child just like you Jeremy. That would be the perfect revenge for your mother.

Hey I was a good kid.. i just wanted to fill the bathtub with Jello... I never actaully did.
(OK, so I did torch my action figures... but i traded for them at school anyway, my parents wouldnt buy me action figures). [That may have something to do with the A Team Set I remember buying at Wolworths... and then crushing to mutilation with rocks in the creek behind the house]

yes kids express themselves in crazy ways and at times us parents get ourselves embarrassed. eg.. when the twins older brother and sisters were younger they asked their dad if they could put makeup on him. In a weaker moment he agreed and they proceeded to make him up including putting bows in his hair. He fell asleep on the couch and forgot what he looked like. he got up and started doing dishes as I drove in the yard with my very young, very masculine boss. he saw John doing dishes and I was explaining that John was very masculine but helped me when i was working. As I was saying this John opened the door in full drag.....My boss nearly died laughing.

last time I let a kid do what they wanted to me they told me to put on a "Fatty The Clown" costume and then kicked me non-stop in my shins until nearly both my tibias were broken...
good times

I used to braid my dads hair and he'd have pippy longstocking/sumo wrestler look to him. The last time I did it right before the meeting and he walked into the hall forgetting to comb his hair!!! He got a few concerned looks. good times, good times;)

Jeremy I remember very well MacKenzie came crying to me "Jeremy no" on Sunday. You going to make that up to her?

But what if a kid has destructive tendancies, and wishes to, say, burn up a *working* computer monitor or something? I guess if it wasn't MY monitor...

This only Confirmed what I have always promised myself, "That I will never have kids."
