Further Proof That Children Are Tiny Maniacs

Being a child is a blast. A lot of us have fond memories of our childhood, and on bad days, we wish we could recapture the simplicity of those times in our adult lives. But let's not forget that there were times in our childhoods when we were probably a bit of a handful, to say the least.

Childhood is great—children, however, sometimes not so much. That doesn't stop us from loving them to bits, though!
