- Throw toys around, draw on the walls, and make the house look like a bomb went off in it. And then I'd let someone else clean it up, just to show how much power I have. Mwahahaaaa!
- Eat with gusto and complete abandon, with no concern for appearances or propriety. (Well, okay, if you asked the Hubs, he'd probably say I do this already, but in this case I'd really give 'er.)
- Embrace the random. I would demonstrate totally erratic behaviour and be completely unapologetic about it. How liberating that would be!
- Catch some much-needed Zs.
- Lose my inhibitions. I would sing like nobody's listening, dance like nobody's watching, and clap my hands and giggle loudly at anything I found amusing.
- Play hard and play hard. None of this "work" nonsense!
- Exert my independence at every turn.
- Experiment with fashion and re-invent myself from day to day.
- Repeat the same phrase over and over again for as long as it takes to produce the desired reaction.
- Play "chase" at every possible opportunity. Time for a diaper change? Chase! Time to get my shoes on and get out the door? You'll have to catch me first!
- Take advantage of the cute whenever possible. If that involves manipulating others, then so be it!
What would be your first act as Toddler for a Day?
That's easy: Jump naked on the couch!
ReplyDeleteLove this post! They really do know how to live in the moment!
I used to say this all the time, although more about living with kids than pretending to be one. I always wonder what life must be like when you don't take some time in your twenties or thirties to live with someone who has thoughts like, "I think I will wear a dragon costume everywhere today" and "I will only eat orange food now" and "garbage trucks are THE COOLEST THING EVER INVENTED". It really helps to shake up your perspective.
