Top 10 Random Things Kids Like

Why? Because 55% of the conversations with my siblings involves the random (and sometimes stupid. One of us played hide and seek in a dryer. It turned on, too. Luckily the seeker was in the room and turned it off immediately. Anyway... things we did when when we were younger. So I started thinking of the random things that kids like / like to do. I wonder how many other kids do? I've done all.

Enjoy!
The Top Ten
Playing with the office wheely chair that spins in circles

And spin your sibling again and again until they throw up. Oh! Or race down the halls on them like race cars. Yep. I miss those.

I still do this when the other library staff and I are bored at school and nothing's happening in the school library.

I tend to do this when I'm in my bedroom, but I usually hit my leg on my desk.

Pushing buttons
Pretending the floor is lava

Where you have to jump and climb over all the furniture because the ground is lava and will burn you. It was hard to climb over things with, like, four other people on the same thing, though.

Playing with the cardboard boxes when you have actual toys all around you

I was heartbroken when my mom said my sister and I had to tear down our cardboard fort.

From building towns to hiding inside the box, we've spent hours with them.

Typing nonsense
Dabbing

I get so pissed when all the kids are like, "Hey Brendan, dab!" And I was like, "What?" I eventually learned what it was, but I still get pissed when those wackos shout, "Dab!"

Eating crayons
Fart jokes

Those are literally the most annoying things a kid would do (other than being mean and whatnot). One time, a random kid at school played fart sounds so loud that everyone could hear them, and they grossed me out.

Eating dirt
Melting crayons

You know, on the hot plates at restaurants.

The Newcomers

? Jumping in puddles

The day before a long road trip, it became a tradition to jump in puddles outside our house with my sister every time.

? Jumping on the bed

Yes, I feel like every kid did this when they were younger.

The Contenders
Breaking things
Roly polies

We used to fill frisbees with dirt or sand, put in plants and rocks, then collect roly polies and watch them. We'd let them crawl up our arms or legs, and it was never scary to hold them like other bugs.

Escalators

(Especially going up the down one and down the up one.) These were up there with elevators. I always liked the funny feeling in my stomach when an elevator started.

Parent sized shoes or clothing

I don't really know why I liked dressing up like a grown-up so much, but I definitely liked their shoes. They were so big and fun to run around in and hear them slap the floor as I ran.

I have young nieces, and they always try to wear my shoes. It's so cute.

Becoming a band with the kitchen utensils

I'm Asian, and I used to drum with chopsticks at restaurants when I was a kid!

Or just about any other random room objects!

Good times when two pencils + table = concert.

Having dishwater splashing wars with siblings when you're supposed to be doing the dishes

It wasn't the war that was dangerous. It was being caught.

Bendy straws

Ah, I have fond memories of building the ultimate straw. I also competed in a science Olympiad last year in fifth grade, and we made a bridge of bendy straws (I won), so I've loved them ever since.

We spent lots of time trying to use them to breathe underwater and build ultra straws by connecting them so you can drink from five feet away. It never really worked, but it was fun!

Blowing up latex or rubber gloves

I did this all the time at my dad's job after he showed me the gloves. I loved those gloves.

Playing with doorstoppers

I always just loved going down the hall, and then my foot would hit a door stopper, and it would make a funny noise.

Food fights

Food fights are kind of disgusting, not gonna lie.

Saying “are we there yet?”
Annoying others
Drawing on walls
Knocking on a door and running
Climbing on things
