You can't. That would take some motivation. Self-fulfilling prophecy rules it out. The Laws of Psychology forbid it!
Next time your 'rents want to play the blame game, just remind them of Nana Gogol's Blame Algorithm: when you point your finger at someone, there are three pointing back at you.
Or you could pull a Pee Wee Herman and say "I know you are but what am I?"
The thing is, if you have kids you can't act childish, because if you're a "kid" and your parents act childish you have every right and justification to sink to their level. In fact, as a child of a parent, it is your responsibility. True, a heavy burden for the younger generation to bear, but not nearly as bad as singing some Crosby Stills and Nash to them:
Teach your parents well ... yada yada yada....
