12 Things That Were Common During Childhood And Now Don’t Make Sense

Toquinho used to say, “It’s good to be a child, to have everyone’s attention. From mom, sweetheart. Daddy’s protection. It’s so nice to have fun and not have to work. Just eat, grow, sleep, play.” But, time passes, we grow up and we put aside the childish way, we start to have responsibilities, we pay bills, and that’s how we live.

Can you imagine what it would be like if adults continued to act like children? With that in mind, the awesome.club decided to recreate some common situations in childhood, but which today would be real nightmares. Come check!

Which child has never kicked about wanting a toy or going somewhere at that exact time, but ended up hearing from his mother the unforgettable phrase: “On the way back we buy”, and that never happened? It would be very unusual to see an adult crying on the floor for wanting something.

Being a child means being able to sleep wherever and whenever you want, after all, no one will bother, on the contrary, they will think it’s the cutest thing in the world to see that little being sleeping without any worries. But imagine if an adult falls asleep anywhere and anytime, especially when they should be awake?

Although it sounds embarrassing when a child says to your face that something about you is not cool, adults still ignore it, after all “it’s just a child, isn’t it?!” — and end up blaming the parents for raising the little ones. However, when it’s an adult who says everything that comes to mind, the situation gets even more uncomfortable, doesn’t it?

Making a mess and smearing all over is only allowed to the youngest. Other than that, no getting dirty when eating, no cleaning your dirty hands on your clothes. You’re likely to get dirty looks if this happens.

If you’ve ever seen a child talking to themselves, you’ve probably thought “you’re talking to some imaginary friend”, right? However, seeing an adult talking without anyone around can be a little scary for someone watching this situation.

It is common for adults to take minors to the bathroom and help them, so children let you know when they are cramped and this can happen anywhere. But, after getting big, it’s no longer necessary to warn or ask permission to use the bathroom.

The quickest and most “efficient” way for a child to gain an adult’s attention is usually by screaming. They scream and scream and when they finally manage to be heard, they don’t always have something to talk about. However, if a slightly older person does this, they are very likely to receive a warning.

Eating without guilt is the dream of many people, after all it seems that after we grow up even the air we breathe makes us fat. Savoring a potato chip makes us bloated. But for children it’s easy, after all, who cares that our favorite food ends up right in the culote?!

Another very common thing in childhood is to make faces, either for fun or to show a feeling, some children just like to express themselves that way. But can you imagine continuing with these gestures as an adult? Imagine that you are not happy with your boss, and, when you least expect it, you are already making faces at him. As much as we feel like it sometimes, it’s better to control yourself.

Why can’t kids see a puddle of water that they’re already running to jump in and make that mess? It must be so much fun to see the water or mud spread everywhere. But it would be pretty weird and even funny to see an adult playing in a puddle. Is it worth getting all your clothes dirty for that?

Infallible method to escape scolding: use all the cuteness possible — after all, who can resist such a tiny and sweet little being? But it is worth mentioning: this technique only works with children. So no spending your cuteness to get away with scolding.

Who never took all their mom’s makeup and put it on their face like there’s no tomorrow? A lipstick that goes from one ear to the other, similar to the Joker, an eyeshadow all smudged and the child all happy, after all she heard a relative saying she looked beautiful. Time passes and we learn to apply makeup, but what if that doesn’t happen and we end up using the same technique as childhood? In that case, it’s better to leave with a clean face.
