Kids Shenanigans

Y’all know how much I love a Klutz book, right?  See HERE and HERE if you’ve forgotten.

Klutz was our go-to publisher of fun-time kids books in the summer or whenever we needed something fun to do.  When I find a book with a title and tagline this great, I gotta buy it: Kids Shenanigans: Great Things to Do That Mom and Dad Will Just Barely Approve Of

Oh, my…

Boy grew up with a library of Klutz books and they never ever failed to entertain him, his friends or us.  Husband and I may be of grandparent age, but internally, we’re stuck at 12-years-old.  That should explain why one of my favorite tricks from the book, to-this-day, is Snapping Belt Loops.  The short version of this shenanigan-move is that, when executed properly, there’s a loud sound that mimics a belt loop being ripped off  from behind the unsuspecting mark.

HIGH-larity, I tells ya!

Klutz tells us what’s what about the book:

Our most proudly immature publication, this is one kids’ activity book that contains stuff kids really want to do. Critical life skills, like how to hang a spoon off your nose and how to fake a really disgusting sneeze, are covered in definitive detail. Twenty-nine activities, all kid-approved and parent-tolerated.

Know a kiddo who would love to make a Whoopie Cushion?  Or wants to stump a grown-up?  Or neeeeds to learn how to hang a spoon from their nose?  YOU DO?!

This book is for them.

If I remember correctly, this book was my go-to on hot summer days when we were indoors and had played all the games in the closet. As you can see from the pic (that’s our copy), it is well-worn and much loved.

I’m hanging on to this book, along with all the other Klutz books, as we wait for Sweet E to age-in to the fun.

I can’t wait to teach him The Grape Thru Your Head Trick, or Dead Finger, or How To Launch a Tennis Ball Off a Basketball, or any other shenanigans the book offers.

I imagine his mom and dad will just barely approve of our fun…
