How to keep your kids occupied

It is told that everybody loves kids. Who doesn’t like kids, it’s probably because they drool, and poo and spit their food. I personally don’t like kids for the reasons I mentioned.  Once they past that disgusting period, I start to like them. For certain reasons, of course: they tell things that you wouldn’t expect from a small creature like that. Things that you discovered so recent in your .. 20, 30, 40 years of life.

But once they know they can get your attention by saying a lot of things, that you mind find interesting, they won’t stop. FOR NOTHING!!! They will talk with you all day long. They will ask you questions about tv producers, how they were made, the difference between girls and boys etc. You’ll buy them a lot of toys to keep them occupied, but it won’t last for long: soon they’ll ask you how the toys were made and why the soldiers are green and why boys wear blue and girls pink.

I found recently that a good way to keep them occupied, for a longer time, is to install them a swingset.  If you have a garden and you can set up a small space for your kid, go to a playground equipment store, or consider viewing an online store, where you can choose from a large number of swing sets: porch swing, stand up swings, gliders, buoy ball swings. If you don’t have the necessary budget, you can do one yourself: get an old tire, hook it up to a large branch with a solid chain and there you go: you just made a tire swing.

If you get jealous with your kids, don’t worry, you can always find bigger ones for adults.
