You guys! Why are kids such strange little creatures? I know this is a little Andy Rooney-ish, and I am sure there are a lot of folks (who are way smarter than me) that have some science-based answers to my questions about kids' baffling actions, but let's be honest, I just don't have time for that right now. Right now, I am simply pondering the craziness of the fact that my insanely tired tot won't just roll over and go to bed!

Ever wondered about some of your own child's confusing behavior? Then join me, won't you?

Why do they "hold it" until the very last minute?
Why do they lick things?
Why do they change their favorite thing at the blink of an eye?
Why do they go from being really excited to really terrified?
Why do they refuse to eat?
Why will they want to swim, no matter what?
Why do they not care about being cold?
Why (oh, dear Lord) do they never want to sleep?
Why do they always seem to fall asleep at the wrong moment?
Why do they prefer to melt down rather than, well, to not melt down?
Why do they feel bored all the time, but not when doing something that's actually really boring?
Why do they lie on the floor in public places?
Why can't they understand the difference between "tomorrow" and "today"?
