Sometimes you just have to...

Sometimes you just have to:

~put on your $15.00 toe socks that you bought at Bloomingdales quite a few years ago (note: you would not have felt the need to drop that kind of cash on a pair of toe socks if your Mother had bought you a pair as a child, like you wanted instead of just giving then away as part of birthday gifts.) ...then you have to walk around the yard in them and stick dandelions between your toes. You just have to!

~lick your finger and stick it in someone's ear while yelling "Wet Willy!"

~shoot a rubberband at someone's butt when they are bending over. Who can pass up a free shot like that!?

~move things when people are not paying attention.

~finish off the entire extra large bag of popcorn at the movie theatre, even though you are sure that you will not be able to walk to the car after the show. You just can't stop.


~watch that terrible show on TV, its like watching a train wreck, its scary but you can't divert your eyes.

~buy a little present for your friend, even though its not their birthday or a special occasion. You just have to do it...just because.

~chew all your nails off.

~procrastinate. You really know there are things you should be doing....but can't you do them tomorrow to?

~spray them with a hose when they are not looking.

~plot revenge for pranks they have not even tried to pull on you yet. It's best to be prepared...its just a matter of time anyway.

~paint every toe nail on your feet a different color in order to decide which color to go with...only to discover you are out of polish remover.

~shave your hairy moose legs.

~watch that movie again...and again...and again. You can't help yourself.

~brake into song and dance while cleaning the house. *cue music...its time for the spot light dance sequence.

~go to the craft store and only buy what you walked in there for. OK, so this has never happened to me before, but that leads to my next response...

~have hope that it will happen to you someday.

~whistle that super loud, ear piercing whistle that it took you 21 years to learn how to do. Sure it makes dogs bark, cats hide and small children cry, not to mention your friends yelling at you to stop, but you can't let talent like that go unused, can you?

~forget your age and have fun.

~let the adults talk while you play with the kids. Someone has to distract them.

~take the high road, nobody else wants to do it...

~give people new nicknames...right Skeeter, Skippy, Spanky, Buela Belle, and Bob?!

~ignore them or they will never leave you alone.

~annoy them. Hey its a rough job but someone has to do it.

~wear socks that don't match your outfit. Who cares! The are just socks people!

~give them a goose. Oh come on, don't act shocked, you know you would do it if you had the chance.

~find that loose floor board or that squeaky chair and keep moving it back and forth so it makes that annoying noise. Sometimes you don't even know you are doing it...but when you realize it, doesn't it make you happy.

~get out the water balloons and let all hell break loose.

~ hold your little cousins upside down and threaten to dunk them in the toilet and use them as a mop if they don't find someone else to bother for a little bit.

~look at someone and say, "DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!" for no reason in particular.

~hide the remote control to the TV from your Dad and then sit in his spot on the sofa. It's like an unwritten rule or something.

~take a running jump into the pool before you test the water.

~slip that plastic ice cube with the fake bug in it, into your pals drink.

~bake mini meatloaves with pink mashed potato frosting and tell people they are a new healthy cupcake recipe that you discovered...but have real cupcakes in the oven so the house smells good.

~make a silly list like this one. Come on...you know you want to!

I love that list. All of the things sound fun to do, and they are all perfectly legal.

I'm not a law breaker or anything.

I love your list. I needed a good chuckle. Thank you. Some I may have done a time or 2 or maybe more. But not in a really long time. My hubby on the other hand does the wet willy thing to the kids all the time...LOL

Thanks, you know, sometimes you just have to go crazy and revert to your childhood ways. I was a terror as a child. I guess some things never change...lol.

Love the pic of the socks! I have some almost like 'em - hehe

Some people hate toe socks....I love them. If you can't stand to have things between your toes, like flip flop shoes, toe rings...stuff like that, then they are not for you.
