Things you could get away with when you were 5

Things you could get away with as a kid, that you could never get away with now.

Hiding in the middle of a clothes rack in a department store. Cute when you're 5, creepy when you're 45

Telling ladies in the street that their boobs were huge and asking how they popped them.

Feigning innocence.

Using the furniture to escape "lava". Precious at 5, but now I just get:

"Seriously, ma? I'm sitting here. Stop walking on the couch!"

Since when is that not acceptable as an adult?

I do all of these as a 40 something year old. I need to grow up

Don't! It's a trap!

People tell me to grow up all the time. I always ask the same question "What's in it for me?"
Since nobody has managed to give me a satisfactory answer, I blow a raspberry at them and run off to kick leaves and wear my batman cape - or if the weather is inclement, make a sofa-cushion fort and play video games.
And I'm just about to hit 49.

On the past let's say six months I've gathered all the pillows in the house to make a fort with the boy, rolled down hills...thst made me nauseous, I've worn a Cape, played the floor is lava, walked along the sidewalk singing and dancing and tried to catch a grasshopper for the boy. I have issues

Actually, #TheFloorIsLava is a social media trend these days.

Being able to eat like 4 snacks right before dinner and then still having seconds and a dessert.

So I have a story for you. When I was younger we lived in a huge house. We had what we called the reading room. It had books and couches and a fire place. One day my father went to rest in his recliner and pulled on the handle. When he did so a wad of gum stretched out from the recliner to the end of the handle. He called me into the room and asked what I thought about it. I told him that he shouldn't be chewing gum in his recliner. LOL. I'm pretty sure I got away with it.

So for Christmas I bought my niece "Bert" from NCIS (a farting hippo) Let's say she got away with playing with him, I however might need to sleep with one eye open the next time my sister in law visits!

I convinced the neighbor girl to let me cut off her pony tail. We were both in kindergarten. Her mom was so pi55ed at me I was scared.
