Youth is wasted on the young, and I never fully grasped this saying until I became a parent to a toddler. Honestly, toddlers have it made! They live in a world of endless wonder, even if they sometimes throw tantrums over the smallest things. I’m pretty sure Oprah got the inspiration for her famous quotes after spending a day with a three-year-old.
Forget the spa day; what I really want is to be treated like a toddler, even just for a single day. It sounds like the ultimate experience. Why has no one created a “Toddler for a Day” retreat yet? If such a place existed, here’s what the packages might look like:
Package 1: The Nap Zone
Imagine having someone follow you around all day, encouraging you to take a nap. They’d gather all your favorite cozy items, like that perfect pillow, and let you carry them everywhere. They’d guide you to a dimly lit room, serenading you with the theme song of your favorite childhood show as you drift into a blissful slumber. And when you wake up, just holler your requests, and someone will be right there!
Package 2: Food Freedom
In this package, a dedicated staff member will attempt to get you to eat in a designated area of the retreat. It starts with healthy snacks, but soon it evolves into a veritable feast where you can munch on whatever you like. Take a bite, toss the rest — no one’s judging. Guests have labeled this experience as “liberating” and “oh-so-satisfying.”
Package 3: No Judgments Allowed
This offering includes access to two lavish suites. In the first, enjoy unlimited snacks to indulge in or reject at your whim. Upgrade to the “No Judgment Deluxe,” and you can crush whatever food you want into the carpet and splatter liquids around the room. The second suite is full of other people’s belongings for you to gather and dismantle. Patrons rave about this package, calling it “life-changing” and “therapeutic.”
Package 4: Emotional Unload
Need to vent? Look no further! Three to five of our trained mood managers will follow you, ready to take your verbal outbursts. You’ll provide a list of your favorite things beforehand, and we’ll present them while you get to shout, “I don’t want it!” and throw them aside. Our team will continue to treat you with kindness, regardless of your outbursts. One satisfied customer exclaimed, “I felt fully accepted.”
Package 5: The Ultimate Experience
For three glorious hours, enjoy endless food options, the freedom to destroy belongings, and the ability to scream into the void — all while someone trails behind you, telling you how adorable and loved you are. I would pay top dollar for any of these experiences!
