Things my 4 year old students can do that every twenty-something secretly wishes they could still get away with...

I have to say, 22 has been an awesome year so far. No real complaints. However, as a teacher, I see the shit my 4 & 5 year-olds can get away with. Although no one would ever admit it...there are days when it would still be nice. I'm pretty confident that the majority of my girl/guy friends would feel the same way.


1. Having co-ed undernighters: How great would it be to spend the night with a girl/guy- do whatever you want, and then get to go home and sleep in your own bed. Nothing awkward in the morning, they just simply have their mom and dads pick them up at the time they are ready to go home. GENUIS

2. Have more than one boyfriend/girlfriend at a time

3. Take baths together without thinking anything of it

4. Talk about who you want to marry every single day

5. Change your significant other weekly

6. Not have your mom give you dirty looks for going out of the house with zero make up on or jewelry (mother!)

7. Getting to go home from school (work for us) and take a 3 hour nap

8. Having it be socially acceptable to go to sleep at 9 pm

9. Periods, birth control, bikini waxes, etc. are unheard of

10. Go out in public with no bra on

11. Take your shirt off in public, just because you are a little hot

12. "Jenna is being a C word." Me: You know the C word?! Brett: Yes, a mean cat. Ugh, I wish the worst word a guy ever called me was a cat.

13. You get chocolates and cards from all the boys on valentines day (so what if their mom wrote it)

14. Cheating is limited to taking place in their AYSO game

15. The only thing you have to 'follow through on' is your plastic golf club swing.
