Kids' Day grants every child's wish that Mom and Dad be more available, that quality time go on forever, that playtime never end. But when it does happen, the results are unexpected. While adults play, all the services provided by the community fall apart. Kids might think that it would be fun to get rid of money and never have a bedtime, to use school books as building blocks, and dance in the hallways, but the actual experience is a mind-opener. Especially when Penny's grandma gets sick and there's no one to care for her, and when smaller kids are being chased by bullies and there's no protection anywhere. While Kids' Day is a lighthearted romp through a system that's come to a screeching halt, it's just dark enough to be a mirror that shows kids how they fit in the world and how that world holds together.
