run around shrieking and getting dirt in your hair

hold elaborate funerals for stuffed animals

lie on your back next to a friend and make burping noises until one of you

laughs so hard that he pees in his pants

pretend you are fighting evil aliens from the Planet Kawoomba, who can be

defeated only by spit

And so on. Of course, today we realize that children need to have a

great deal of structure in the form of leagues and uniforms and referees and

team photographs and trophies and dozens of parents standing on the sidelines

shrieking like mental patients. So unless you are some kind of low-life

child-abusing vermin, one of the first things you'll do when you move to your

new home is enroll your children in Little League, soccer, and midget

football, as well as a scouting program, not to mention gymnastics, ballet,

violin, karate, computer, tennis, and helicopter-piloting lessons. You want

your child's life to become so structured that he or she is incapable of

fooling around in his or her own yard without detailed instructions from a

coach. ("OK, Jason! Burp! NO, dammit! Not that way!")
