A game of tag.
Standing like a statue in an area rug display, pretending to be a rolled up carpet.
Clinging to a chain link fence, 2 feet off the floor, “Look Mommy, I’m Spiderman!”
Each of these scenarios has resulted in me getting in trouble with a very concerned adult about my kids’ dangerous behaviour. Someone could get hurt! Kids. Always living on the wild side, walking the line between life and death.
Why are people so uncomfortable with children acting like children? Childishness does not always equal foolishness. If responsible adults could loosen up a little, kids could teach us a thing or two about having fun and taking risks.
Sure they might fall, but maybe they’ll fly.
