Kids Teach Us The Importance Of Having Fun The Darndest Things

This is my favorite thing in a long time.

These kids aren't idiots, they know. Sometimes you just have to get out there and have some fun no matter what. Just wash away the cares of the day. "This game is boring!" Shut up, you're boring. Now go hide. (Via BuzzFeed.)

I'm always caught off guard when we see the softer side of Gabe.

I've deduced that Gabe generally likes kids (in the non-creepy way) (I think) up until they reach the age where they can cultivate an interest in popular literature.

What a terrible bonus room. Why have they not been given a Wii, and Miley Cyrus, and Disney Pixar?

Super-delightful hide&seek times in a room where there are exactly zero hiding places = they're doing it right! Also, big sisters are never not awesome.

As a big sister, I am inclined to agree with you, but as someone who has a big sister, I am inclined to disagree with you.

I made such an assertion because I, too, am a big sister. Just ask my baby brother about the time I chopped off a small bit of his ear while giving him Moe from the three stooges' haircut -- i was forever attacking him with my awesome.

Eee. My older sister bit me once. Or did I bite her? I can't remember.


Now, as an adult women, she still calls me a bitch practically every time she sees me.

When I was ten I was swinging some crutches around like a madman in our living room and my five year old sister walked in and took one to the head. I also accidentally hit a cousin in the face with a small hammer when I was fifteen.

Reminds me of the time my sister and I played tag in a linen closet.

And that reminds ME of a game my brother and I played called, Gotcha Last. It was a high contact variation of tag wherein, instead of running from the person who is it, you would pin the other person's arms down while simutaneously traying to hit them (the harder the better) and saying, "gotcha last," and then continuing to hold the person down (this part involved wrestling) so they could not get you back. Ah......good times.

i can relate to this. even if the seeker counted to a million, i would just panic in the last three seconds and faceplant on the floor. and i don't even mean "as a child", i mean when i was playing hide and seek LAST FRIDAY!

She was nice enough to give him the only hiding spot in the basement to count against while she left herself with nothing. That's love.

If she wanted to blow his mind she should have just stood directly behind him as he counted and followed him around the room as he looked for her.
