How to Be a Kid

By Chris Tait

Your friends don't know, and grown-ups won't tell you, but there are 31 tried-and-true ways to bother your parents, bug your siblings, amuse your friends, drive your teachers crazy, and survive your childhood. Try them all now--while you're still a kid. Start with gross-outs like how to blow the perfect spitbubble, drop a truly effective water balloon, and make rude noises from your armpit. Move up to the secrets of getting away with stuff: trick others into doing the dishes, hone your homework excuses, fake looking sick, and stay up as late as you want. Get some helpful hints for nagging your parents into raising your allowance. Soon you'll be ready to tackle advance techniques such as sneaking a peek at Christmas presents (this requires putting things back in the closet just as you found them, acting excited on Christmas, and covering your disappointment if you don't find your prize present). With this guide at your side, you'll be able to deal with anything , from lunchtime madness in the school cafeteria to a boring car ride with your annoying big brother!
