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!

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...
We had that book when I was a kid! I agree, hilarity 🙂
LOL! It's the small things in life that are so delicious!
I am so NOT getting this for my son. The Whoopie cushion thing would be too tempting for him. I was glad when the last one got a hole in it. LOL
PARTY POOPER (heh)! There is sooo much more to this book that fart noises, although you can't beat a funny fart noise in my book!
I love this.. and it is so me and my husband... 'Husband and I may be of grandparent age, but internally, we’re stuck at 12-years-old.'
It's a blessing and a curse, right?! But, for small kids, we're totally in synch!
I still do the belt loop ripping trick to people to this day. Never gets old.
Hahahaha! This makes me happier than you know! ~RIIIIIP~
Lol!! My girls would get a kick out of this book.
As you can see (in the comments), Boy (a grown man with his own family) still has fond memories of this fun!
I had this book as a kid, but could never get the whoopee cushion to work just right. As a parent, I might have to buy this for my boys! Great summer entertainment!
Whoopee cushion win for the ages...or something like that!
Gotta get this for the grandkids. (Oh Karma, I love thee!!) Here from the Grand Social 109; BB2U.
Ha! They will love it!
