Why lament the injustices of being a kid when you can give praise to kid power? In their own words, here is why it's great to be a kid.

It’s great to be a kid because I can do writing camps and because I can play tag and Frisbee and I can have a nap in the middle of the day if there is no school. I can play my cello and karate and games and even go in the pool and go for a walk.

It’s great to be a kid because you can play hide and go seek. You have time to figure out what you want to be when you grow up. You can play tag. You get to collect eggs on Easter. You get presents on Christmas and can make a leprechaun trap on St. Patrick’s Day. You get to have playdates and sleepovers with your friends. You can play catch all day.

It’s great to be a kid because
· when you play hide and seek you have more spots to hide in
· you make more friends at school
· you go on more adventures
· you see more of the world
· you see things you never knew about
· you don’t have to work on summer break
· you get to have more sleepovers
· you learn more things
· you have more parties
· you go on more playdates

It’s great to be a kid because you’re small. Adults can’t go under a car and get the ball because they’re too big. We can. If you’re an adult people look at you like you’re a wacko if you’re playing a pretend game. I mean, come on, how many times have you seen a grown man riding an imaginary dragon at the park? If you’re a kid riding your imaginary dragon people will just smile and probably not take a picture and post it on Facebook. Kids can also jump on the bed. Sure, their mom might yell at them to stop but if you’re an adult well, that’s a different story. You might even break the bed and your wife would yell at you and give you the silent treatment for a week. If you’re a kid activist other people will think “Oh, how sweet.” But if you’re an adult, people would think “oh great, one of THOSE guys.” We have, as I like to call it, the "cute factor." When you’re a kid you can go door to door and ask for candy on Halloween. But if you open the door and see a middle-aged woman in a La La Loopsi costume asking for candy well, that’s just creepy.
