Read Part I of Things Kids Can Get Away With That Grownups Can’t.
Let’s add a couple more to the list. A comment left under the Part I post was the inspiration for the first cartoon. Mindy says:
“Today, I saw a man on his way to the restroom, waddling in the ‘I gotta pee’ walk, and holding himself. That’s a big no-no, adult people. No pee-pee dances, and absolutely no holding yourself to keep from wetting yourself. In the office. Or anywhere. Ever. Yes ladies, that means you after that third beer waiting in the loooong ladies room line at the Gaga concert.”
Yeah. No kidding. Plus, George Washington said that you’re not supposed to grab your junk in public.
Rembot is going to wear a bunny costume this year, and Baby Shark will be a lobster. Cute, no? If you see her, save a lollipop for her, cause she can’t have peanutty candy.
Adorable! Give her extra candy and a pat on the head.
1) Pump shotgun. 2) Call 911. It is the only way.
And, of course, kids get away with being rudeyrude – telling adults that their noses are big or their pants are ugly. I personally had a regrettable childhood moment when I told an adult that she was “extra-wrinkly.”
Repeats: "It's just a cartoon. It is not real." I HATE YOU, bearded stick figure.
If you show up to my house in a bunny costume that barely covers your tighty-whities, I’m going to do a whole lot of THIS.

Please do! And let me know what happens.

That is awesome. And I think that creepy guy in the bunny suit might give me nightmares. :)
My regrettable childhood moment was telling a girl to go home and put more clothes on. Is that still a no-no? Because I still think it. Especially around the kids high school. Sheesh.

You did that as a child? Quite advanced of you. I feel like a cranky old lady when I see kids dressed like that.

Oh I wish I saw a grown man do the pee pee dance…that would of made my day!! You are so witty girl!

Haha, I think I’d cry if I saw that. :O And you are sooo nice, but the pee pee dance idea came from a witty reader. :P

Man bunny is pretty creepy.
Honestly though, do you have any idea how many people show up at my house with BABIES, like newborns, in costumes with a treat bag. I mean for real. Are they really going to give that candy to a baby. People got a lot of nerve.

Wait.. so you’re saying… that’s bad? I feel like I owe so many people a letter of apology.

I work daily in an environment where the pee pee dance appears to be a requirement (ahem- preschool)along with eating playdough or turning the gluesticks ALL the way up…which by the way, are a couple of other examples of things grown-ups can’t (and shouldn’t) get away with.

Hahaha. That reminds me. I used to rub Elmer’s glue all over my hands, wait for it to dry, and then peel it all off.

I actually had to tell an employee that she was an adult and if she had to go to the bathroom, please excuse herself and go, because I didn’t want her to continue dancing around my office. Good grief people.
And the hairy legs are freaking me out. I had to scroll back up and look at them. It’s like an accident – you can’t help but look. Again. And Again. Ack!

He’s a vegetarian, so we can’t be friends. Kidding, but now I really want to know the story behind the boxers in public.
[Reply]
Hahaha – hairy man bunny legs.
Along the “you’re fat” lines, one time this nice fellow asked me when my baby was due. I said “September” without skipping a beat, even though I was not pregnant.

Oh noooo. One time someone asked my husband if I was pregnant (I was a couple months postpartum) and I overheard it and just burst into tears. Hahaha.

Haha, I cracked up when I first saw it. Now, it’s like a little friend that I can’t say goodbye to.

I love it! Before becoming a teacher I worked retail and I always used to think it was funny when grown men and women too used to come in and ask to use the bathroom looking like they were about to pee in their pants. Come on people gain some control! I do want to see you make that face so I’m showing up at your house in a bunny suit :)

After seeing that lady at the bottom I can now say that I have done my first “pee-pee dance” as an adult…thank you! :)
[Reply]
Can pregnant ladies who were told to drink 32 oz of water before their ultrasound do the peepee dance when they are running late thus making you wait for half an hour? Yes, that was me.
My girls haven’t called anyone fat but one of them has said “Look! An old maaaan.” That’s sort of like wrinkly.

[...] one gripe. Their new songs are pretty raunchy. AND they did the I-have-to-go-pee-pee dance. You know how I feel about adults doing the pee-pee dance. [...]
i once told my grandmother, while sitting in her lap (aged 3), that, ‘my kitty has a whisker juuusst like that (pointing to her chin)”
