Kitty's Random Book

What's the password?

I just remembered this, and I'm dying 😂

This was back in the days before being in someone's house without a mask on didn't feel terrifying (ah, memories 😂). My mom was willing to let neighborhood kids hang out in our house and backyard and look after them from time to time, so Naydra and I had a strategy down for avoiding smol children everywhere: simply retreat to Naydra's room. The kids would likely gravitate towards the toys and leave us in peace to play Animal Crossing or read.

Key word there is "likely". 😂

During one such day, our luck ran out. There were four different kids over, and my mom was making dinner, leaving the children to play on their own. Upon discovering there were two older kids in the house (since we were older, we were therefore super-cool apparently), these four little humans assembled outside Naydra's door and started trying to break in.

This was Not Good for the two of us. We really didn't feel like letting them trash Naydra's room, but we also knew we'd get in trouble if we locked them out. So in an effort to buy ourselves some time, we came up with a password (Pineapple) and told them we'd let them in once they figured it out.

As it turns out, they are AWFUL guessers.

We eventually gave them enough obvious hints that there was no way they wouldn't get it. (Come on, what other thing is a fruit AND spiky AND starts with the letter P?) One of the younger girls (she was 6 or 7 at the time) gasped dramatically as she figured something out, then blurted at the top of her lungs:

"I know! The password is PINEASSFRUIT!"

Yes, that's correct. This child - who had no way of learning that word, by the way, since her parents are very careful with what they say - slapped together a handful of syllables at random and somehow came up with something that had "ass" in it. Nice.

Naydra and I, model children that we were, couldn't keep straight faces and burst out laughing. The kids were understandably frustrated with us for it, not understanding what was so funny (thankfully). After such an amazing guess, we had no choice but to let them in (tbh the real reason we let them in was because they were raging and we didn't want to get in trouble XD)

They promptly destroyed half of Naydra's stuff after that 😂

So, yeah. Pineassfruit. The last thing I expected to hear out of an innocent little girl's mouth.

What's your experience with smol humans? Do you have any funny/weird stories from interacting with children? If so, feel free to share! I'd love to hear. :)
