For the Kids: 61 Things to Look Forward To
Sure, you think you've got a pretty sweet deal going right now, being a kid and all, but remember, you still have to go to school, do your homework, set the table, and brush your teeth every single day (sometimes twice!!!). Plus, you've got a bed time. Yep, your parents have conferred with one another and bestowed upon you a specific time at which they expect you to be in your bed, under the covers, sawing logs. Adults don't have a bed time. We can stay up all night if we feel so inclined. And while were staying up late, we can watch movies. Movies with boobs. Naked boobs.
Yeah, being a kid is fun, but wait until you turn 18. Or better yet, 21. Or even betterer still: 32! I can only imagine how great 37, 45, 56, and 63 are gonna be.
