Kids are basically creatures of mystery.
Like why is it Flea can’t hear me when I’m at the top of the stairs and calling her because her bath is ready… but she can hear the opening of a packet of Munchies from 500 feet?
Or why is it that Flea can be exhausted and unable to walk another step if we’re at the supermarket, but discovers previously unimagined reserves of energy if we pass by the park on the way home?
Some mysteries, though, are just beyond the power of human reason.
Like why, when we had spent an hour stuck in traffic on the M6 yesterday, did I glance in the rear-view mirror to find that my six-year-old child – who had a portable DVD player, a Kindle, two books, and a Nintendo 3DS at her disposal – had decided that the best way to entertain herself was by working out how to get naked without removing a seatbelt?
Thanks to Kate for tagging me in the ‘why’ meme.
That is just incredible. Any kids with that much character and ingenuity is going to go far in life.
Either that, or she’s going to end up somewhere very, very odd.
Oh, I do that all the time. It’s great fun, you should try it yourself. Added points for doing while driving!
Ha! I demand photography.
All I can say is that kids copy their parts. Fact.
I can ASSURE you I am not flexible enough.
That’s a life skill that is ;-D
That’s one way to look at it 😉
Ha ha ha. That’s just brilliant!!! What a fantastic way to pass time :0)
I know, but honestly – WHERE does an idea like that come from?
I love this post – so simple yet fun. What a cutie your flea is…..and a bit of a Houdini with it!
Thanks!
Wow! That is rather impressive! x
That’s one word for it.
It means she’s streetwise. She’s telling the ‘hood: “Don’t carjack us – we’ve been done already”. Were it not for her, you’d now both be naked – and purseless.
Ah. Now it all makes sense. Thank goodness for Flea and her selfless nudity.
Actually laughing out loud. Was she completely naked or just her top?
I will simply say my daughter commits to her projects. Entirely.
You have just got to love Flea child of mystery !
Well, it did make me laugh in an otherwise stressful situation!
OMG, I actually just laughed out loud! Fantastic post!
She’s a legend, isn’t she?
Absolutely fantastic. I don’t think that’s an easy task to do either so well done. What a smart cookie.
Well, I’ve never tried but it doesn’t sound like it would be simple…
I love this what i fab idea!
You’re going to try it, aren’t you?
There’s some deep message in there somewhere about how tech is nowhere near as satisfying as more traditional pastimes, but I’m not sure getting naked without taking off your seat belt could be classed a “traditional” pastime…
Thanks for making me giggle 🙂
Well, it’s not traditional in MY family. I can’t speak for yours 😉
So funny 🙂
That’s so funny I’ve got two boys who always seem to strip off at the most inappropriate times.
It’s a kid thing. Got to be.
