I don’t play, I multitask. For example, I’ve discovered I can save time by peeing in the shower — that’s not immature, it’s practical, right? Seriously, though, if it’s wrong to lock up a child, then maybe it’s also wrong to lock up your inner child.

I think some fellas have too much time on their hands. 😉
Ya think. ;>)
Indeed I do!
Laughed out loud at a bunch of these. Thanks, Mitch. Find your fun wherever you can and make it when you can’t find it. That’s what I believe.
That, my friend, is a steal-worthy motto!
lets not grow up 🙂
You just kicked off the weekend! The “can’t get the ornament off the baby’s foot” reminds me of Brent Timmons’s story on Our American Stories where he decides to use a liquid bandage for his son’s forehead cut instead of taking him for stitches. Yes, he gets stuck! (Easily google-able)
;>) I’ll check it out, Joy!
I agree, “Don’t grow up – it’s a trap”
Tell the truth, Mitch. My wife put you up to this, didn’t she.
(I bet it was after I told her that I wanted to work on inventing a gun that would shoot basketballs at people).
How did you–? Um, I mean, no, I don’t know what you’re talking about.

I think there are limits, like when people get hurt.
Absolutely!
It’s the childlike sense of wonder that is so priceless.
Exactly, Robert!
Well done, Mitch.
Thanks, John.
I absolutely love all of this!! Thank you 🙏
My pleasure!
These were fun. We all need some light-heartedness. Thanks for the smile.
;>)
Whimsy can make the unbearable bearable and the complicated simple. That’s how I roll!
favorite carl reiner quote o film
Not sure, Rudy. I loved the old Dick Van Dyke Show when I was growing up (Carl Riener created it), and the movies he made with Steve Martin, but I’m not sure which words were Carl’s. How about you?
do you view gilbert arciniega on youtube
No, first time I’ve heard of him.
Great quotes Mitch.

You never fail to amuse me. Reblogged this on Kentucky Angel’s Reflections on life and commented “Once again ******”. I wish I could remember what I said completely but such is life for kids at heart. In real life I’m old as Kentucky dirt, but on the inside still a child and hope to always see the world through the eyes of a child. Great post, Mitch.
In light of eternity, we’re all newborns. Thanks!
Every new day brings a new beginning.
Great reminder, Mitch
Great pics and great quotes. There’s so much truth in humor–that’s why it’s funny. Thanks for the chuckles.
My pleasure, Nancy.
The greatest complement I ever had was, “Jennie you’re just a big kid.”

The bit about never being bored if the ceiling fan could hold a person’s weight reminded me of what our son and friend (maybe twelve or thirteen at the time?) did one evening of a sleepover. They made a bunch of confetti from old magazines, piled it up on the fan blades, and flipped the switch! They said the result was AMAZING to watch. Unfortunately, no smart phones back then to capture the action. But on the plus side, no time outs were necessary either. The only evidence of the caper was the wastebasket full of confetti!
They cleaned it all up, and at that age? I’m impressed!
I was surprised too! Maybe they were afraid of getting into trouble if they didn’t. (It had to be a scary mess that would cause any unsuspecting parent a panic attack.)
;>)
Wow this was on me of the best posts I’ve seen in a while. Awesome🤣
Thank you, Josh.
