Last night, shortly after getting our 10 month old to sleep, I laughed at the opener to Esquire‘s “How to Entertain Kids of Any Age This Holiday Season” featurette.
The premise:
Suddenly, children are all over the house. Somehow, for a couple hours, you’re in charge of keeping them occupied. But, with the right activities, turns out it’s not all that hard.
The advice:
Ages 0-1: You will not be responsible.
Indeed.
The remainder of the piece is useful, if less amusing. Except this one:
Ages 5-7: Stand in front of the garage and let them try to hit you with tennis balls.
I’m not sure that’s a good idea. But funny all the same.
