Why do children do things like...
*Hold thier breath when they are angry
*See how long they can stay awake with thier siblings
*Flush the lavatory and try and say all the members of thier families names before they all die
*Try to make them selves vommit when they cannot get what they want
*Play "your it"
*Argue saying "I didn't do it"... "Yes you did"... "No I didn't"... "Yes you did"... "Did not"... "Did so"... "Did not, can't undo it"... "Can undo it, did not, can't undo it a million times"... "Can undo infinity times"... and so on
*Steel cookies
*Try to get thier sister in trouble
*Cover the bathroom in toothpaste and do experiments with washing up liquid and shampoo
*Pretend that the carpet is actually molten lava
*Try to talk a languide that adults cannot understand
*Create sectret files and filing systems
*Always bounce on Mum and Dads bed
*Try to sleep in Mum and Dads bed, even when Mum and Dad are still awake downstairs
*Eat thier bowgies
Any ideas?

I never did half these things as a kid growing up but i would guess it's because they are young and unexperienced and want to learn and are curious about everything. That's why its called immaturity and so they do things like this when they are young and are supposed to get it out of their system so that they can grow up to be responsible. Only some actually accomplish that though;)

Imagination, seeking the boundaries of experience so they can understand their world and where they fit in it, testing social mores that are often confusing, and... imagination. Sometimes I wish more adults remembered what it is like to be a child... a few boogers liven things up!

My guess is they are little ones with too much time on their hands. They aren't bogged down with life stressors yet lol. Lots of time and have to make up stuff to entertain themselves/get their own ways.

:) Kid's are just weird! They're just experimenting with life. Maybe we should ask... why don't adults do those things?

-because they are aliens. This behavior is only covert code. It is our job as adults and humans to assimilate them.
