Acceptable times to be three years old

1. When you're with a three year old. Example: I met a little three-year-old boy named Cason today while my mom was shopping and his mom was shopping and we were bored and sat at the front. We talked about Power Rangers and argued about which one is the best and had a tickle fight. Best day ever.

2. When you're eating ice cream. It is completely OK to do that little bouncy excited thing on the first bite because it's so delicious. And the second. And the eighth. All of the bites.

3. When you just don't wanna. Sometimes you have to be an adult. Clean the dishes, pick up your mess, do your work. But sometimes, you just don't freaking want to do anything. So don't. Whine and complain until people tell you to GTFO. And go sit on Tumblr for a while and participate in a good hot sesh of doing nothing.

4. When you're sick. I am not an emotional person and I don't like to participate in the activity of crying, but when I'm sick, I'm the biggest baby you ever saw. I just complain and cry and lay on my bed like a pathetic sack of sad. And then I call my mommy and she feels sorry for me and makes me feel better. Because she's my mommy. And I'm still three years old to her. And it's OK. Sometimes you just can't handle the sickness on your own. 

5. When you can't think of a good reason to win an argument. But you want to win. Because being wrong is a sucky feeling. So pull out a "Yo mama" or a "Just cause." Do it.

6. When you reeeeeally want something. Puppy dog eyes, the "everyone else has one" argument, whatever got you what you wanted when you were little (with my dad, it was the logical argument). I know, we are adults and we have our own money blah blah blah, but it's much easier to spend other people's. There is always a reason why someone should buy you something. Because, great Scott, Vanessa, that dress looks simply amaaaaazing on you.

7. When you're with your best friend. That is one person that should not be judging you for your young child antics, whenever they may make an appearance. Whether you're venting, or making some face that defies all scientific explanations of body parts, or running around Best Buy for no reason at all...that best friend damn well better be right there being a three year old with you.
