What can children do that adults can't?

Question

i'm doing an art project on childhood.

kids always want to grow up too fast & then when they become adult always want to be a child again (well i do anyway!)

anyway, i'm getting a brain block where i can't think straight & i just need a little help?

what are some of the things you used to be able to do as a child, but can't do now?

examples: kids can go to the park & play on the swings but it's frowned upon if adults do it.

kids have more fertile imaginations than adults.

i got refused admission onto a bouncy castle once.

etc.

answers about things adults can do that children can't are welcome too, but i'd prefer to know what children can do that adults can't.

thank you!!

Answer 1

Get into movies cheap.

Answer 2

They can be happy with little things in life.  Once juice box and a cookie will keep them going with happiness all day long.

Answer 3

children can be honest, without having to think about whether it will hurt someones feelings.  They can and will embarrass an adult without even knowing it.  They can get away with things such as pulling all the toilet paper off the roll.  Adults think this is cute,(if it is the first time).  Kids can run around a beach without any clothes on, and MOST adults will not mind.  Of course you do get some.  Kids can l**k their fingers in a restaurant and no one will look at them funny.  Kids can play with their pets in ways that adults would get very hard looks for if they were to do it.  Kids live vicariously, without a care in the world.  Adults have all kinds of things on their minds all the time.  Kids love unconditionally, always.  Adults have a very hard time with this one.  Kids wrap adults around their fingers, not the same way for adults.  Hope some of these things help.  Thanks.
