As a youngling, I could never understand how my parents could figure out my plans before I enacted them. Hmmm...3

The problem is you're just a bit too heavy, Calvin... I wonder what you can do to lighten up?3

Be careful, Hobbes... I'm not sure Calvin has your best interests at heart...2

Imagine the bubble gum bubble one could blow.

I was walking past a couple with a little boy. The mom was hovering... the dad walked ahead... and the boy was eyeballing a puddle. I stopped to watch and I had to bite my tongue to keep from cheering the boy on. He walked into the puddle and the mom reached out to grab him... but it was too late! He splashed happily for a few seconds before the mom dragged him out. He had rubber boots on so no harm, no foul...4

It's a shame more kids aren't allowed to just get messy these days! My mum was always happy for me to jump in puddles and heaps of dry leaves, make mud pies in the garden, climb trees, and all kinds of other messy things. I'd have let my son do the same if he'd ever wanted to, but he never seemed to like getting dirty! I couldn't even get him interested in finger painting...

Both my son and my daughter got to eat their peck of dirt. I figure they learned as much about life by playing outside as they ever did in school... and had much more fun... Strangely, my wacky ex saw things differently. Perhaps her objections were rooted in her distaste for muddy laundry items?I was walking past a couple with a little boy.

Maybe! It's not always easy to clean them up afterwards, but nearly everything washes out with soap and water and it's worth it.

Oh boy... My son never tried this one but my daughter... well, press onward, gentle readers...3

To her credit, my daughter was trying to self-rescue from twisting a round brush into her (then) long tresses, trying to make curls like her best friend's naturally curly hair.5

You can't imagine the joy of trying to disentangle a brush without pulling or cutting the long hair while your little girl is wailing. I stopped tugging and hugged her until she calmed. Minimal trimming required.3
