    I've just escaped a kid's birthday party, a lad in my son's class is having one, and my son is there now along with a gazillion other kids aged upto about 5 or 6 years old.

    I thought has occurred to me. Apart from physical size, what exactly is the difference between small kids and the extremely drunk?

    * You can't get a sensible conversation out of them
    * You can't easily predict what they are going to do next
    * They are likely to offer you stuff you really don't want, like half eaten cakes covered in slaver and snot.
    * They will burst into random dance that bears no relationship to the rhythm of the music, or indeed absence of music.
    * They WILL fall over for no good reason, and when they do they will get up as though nothing has happened, but then half an hour later, for no obvious reason, they will burst into tears for a few minutes.
    * You have to keep an eye on them because they can't be trusted to look after themselves.

    As far as I can see, kids are exactly the same.

        I find many more similarities between the children and the elderly

        True. They're also liable to say things that they shouldn't and can be very embarrassing.:ouch1:

            Its what the bloke who lives behind me kept saying after he'd crashed into my garden. Every time I picked him up off the floor.
