I finally realized why someone would want to have a kid

For a long time I wondered why anyone would want to raise one of these little cretins, I figured the human race must survive by accidents.

So I've been with my 7 year old cousin the past few days and I realized why. Having a little kid around gives you an excuse to do all the things you're normally not allowed to do anymore, like building block towers, playing with legos, etc.

Block towers really are amazing, you can get hours of entertainment with a few wooden blocks.

You sir (or maam) are a glutton for punishment. <grin>

And you have way more energy than I, I suspect.

Kids rock! Though there is an important point to ponder, someone elses kids are much better, I love my niece and nephew, as I can have heaps of fun with them, fill them full of sugar, wind them up by running around the beach chasing seagulls, build cubby houses, etc. Then I can hand them back to my sister

Having been dealing with teenagers at the high school level for some time, I find this statement utterly hilarious.

Well, I mean grade school kids. Loss of innocence comes around 5th grade or so. :lol:

Still utterly hilarious. Are you serious that they're non-judgemental? What kids are you hanging about?

Wait till you have Grandchildren. Then it gets really interesting as you can team up with them against the common foe, their parents.

Self-defense. If they weren't they'd get eaten immediately.

Actually, I liked legos so much I more or less started a business that let me do just about that everyday, but on a different scale.
