- You often find yourself questioning, “Aren’t you too old for this behavior?”
- Their hairstyles can be downright outrageous, making you wonder if a public outing is appropriate.
- They declare, “I’m going to solve this!” and suddenly you’re knee-deep in glitter that seems to cling to your feet for decades.
- Comparisons are rampant: “Why can’t you be more like your sibling?”
- One public meltdown, and suddenly outings are off the table.
- They have a knack for hiding things, and after a while, those secrets start to smell. Seriously, who thinks hiding shrimp behind the radiator is a good idea?
- I can’t help but share both my pride and frustrations about them on social media.
- They’re highly skeptical of any form of childcare for working parents.
- When you ask for something simple like, “Could you help me put away the groceries?” you get a bizarre response like, “Are people usually in a hurry to die or not? That’s what I mean!” Leaving you confused and thinking, “I just needed a hand here.”
- You hear a lot of mixed-up ideas, such as, “Let’s safety-pin the envelopes, tape them in reverse, and shove them under the fridge. What do you mean that won’t work? This is my plan!”
- When faced with a stinky situation, they’re quick to point fingers at someone else.
- They love to playact as tough characters.
- Their party planning is extensive, often filled with grand claims like, “Guess who I’m inviting? The trash in the toilet!”
- Math seems to elude them; when it comes to dividing treats, they magically end up with a couple more than everyone else.
- They stay up far too late and then make questionable comments to those who hold their fate in their hands. “I love you, but sometimes I can’t stand you. I might even send you to jail,” could easily be heard from either a candidate or my 5-year-old.
- You can’t help but worry about their friends who clearly lead them astray.
- And finally, they look you dead in the eye and tell a whopper, making you wonder, “For the hundredth time, do you really think I’m that gullible?”
