Victoria pointed out the other day that children can get away with so many things that would probably send an adult straight to the loon-house. On my way to the airport the other morn', I was unsettlingly reminded of this comment when a small childling sat down across from me with her parents and exclaimed, "Why are your legs so hairy?"
So I decided to make a list adults can no longer do on the way to the airport:
- ask your parents (in a voice the person in question is sure to overhear) "is he happy?"
- sing a song from Shrek unintelligibly and ask strangers if they liked it
- lift up your shirt and show everyone around the glory of your belly-button ("put your stomach away, dear")
- move constantly between two seats (as I sit with my arms crossed in my designated space)
- crawl around on the floor in a b-line towards people you've never met before
