Author's note: Been wanting to write something like this for quite a while now. I know the plot isn't anything special, but I've been eager to write a simple kind of Rugrats one-shot for quite a while now. Oh, and Tommy is actually one years old in this one, even though I know in most of my stories I have him at two or three.

Kimi and Dil are not featured in this, since this story takes place before all three of the Rugrats movies.

If you want specifics, this one-shot actually takes place a little bit before Tommy learns that Didi is pregnant with Dil.

Disclaimer: I do not own Rugrats/All Grown Up. This glorious children's show belongs to Klasky Csupo and Nickelodeon (trust me, if I owned this show, I doubt anyone reviewing this right now would be interested in watching it…)

A Day in The Life of Tommy

Tommy's POV

If there's anything I think I've learned from the whole year I've existed, I think it's that every day of life is an adventure.

After all, how couldn't it be? Spending every single day of your life doing the exact same thing sounds boring! And why would anybody in this whole wide world want to do the same thing, same routine, over and over again when there's just so much stuff that you can do in the world?

There's just so much stuff to do inside and outside. There's so much stuff that I have seen, but at the same time, there's still so much stuff that I haven't seen yet, and considering that I'm not going to be a growed up for a little while now (I've noticed that a lot of the growed ups aren't as into adventures as I am,) I have almost forever to explore it!

Sometimes, when I'm living in a world like this that's so big and full of so much possible stuff, I really do have to wonder how some people are ever even bored. They shouldn't be bored, they should go find a place to explore, or if they can't for some reason, well, maybe they should imagine finding some sort of place to explore! That would definitely be a lot better than just sitting there quietly and doing nothing.

And well, I know that when I say every day of life is an adventure, there would definitely be some people who are gonna disagree with me on that. Even my bestest friend in the whole wide world, Chuckie, is more of the type of kid that likes to sit quietly and bounce a ball at the wall, but I like to take him along on my adventures a lot, because I care about Chuckie, and I don't want him, or the twins, to spend a single day of their life feeling bored!

I mean, after all, no day lasts forever, and even though right now I'm having the time of my life, I'm gonna keep on having tons and tons of birthdays, and eventually on one of those birthdays, I'll officially be a growed up.

And even though I know that not every single growed up in the world is quiet and boring (my mommy and daddy can be kinda quiet sometimes and they're not as into adventures as me, but they're still pretty good at being a mommy and daddy,) I do know that I've never met a single growed up that's as into adventures as me. That's why, even though I'm just a year old right now, I've already made a goal for myself: by the time that I'm a growed up, I wanna be as adventurous as I am now, and I don't wanna be quiet and boring.

'Course, no one knows about this goal of mine, not even my bestest friend in the whole wide world Chuckie. I'd be okay with it if he knew, but there comes a time in a baby's life when he just wants to keep a little something to himself, and well, this was one of those times when I didn't wanna go around telling my goal to everyone.

Not that I had to worry about becoming a growed up anytime soon, anyway. I had everything that I needed as a baby right now: a nice bottle of milk, a diapey on, a mommy and daddy who love me are nice to me, friends, and my bravery. With all that, I think I'll do perfectly fine when I do go off to be a growed up.

Besides, I'm only a year old and a couple of months right now. What could happen?
