Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could really go back?

Question

I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult. I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an 8 year-old. Because:

...... I would like to go to Mr. Singh's parlour to buy an iceblock, 5 cents tambran, and a coke and get change from 25cents.

...... I want my face to be messed up with chilibibbi.

...... I want to go to KFC or Royal Castle and think that it's a four star restaurant.

...... I want to sail sticks down the drain; ride a canal cart and play with my friends in the school yard.

...... I would like to sit down and watch them play cricket and football in the road.

...... I want to think M&Ms are better than money because you can eat them.

...... I want to lie under a big tree or run about all day playing and then at the end of the day go home to get buff for smelling like play.

...... I want to return to a time when life was simple - when all you knew were colors, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes. But that didn't bother you, because you didn't know what you didn't know and you didn't care.

..... All you knew was to be happy because you were blissfully unaware of all the things that should make you worried or upset.

...... I want to think the world is fair. That everyone is honest and good.

...... I want to believe that anything is possible. I want to be oblivious to the complexities of life and be overly excited by the little things again.

...... I want to live simple again. I don't want my day to consist of computer crashes; mountains of paperwork; depressing news; how to survive more days in the month than there is money in the bank; doctor bills; gossip; illness, and loss of loved ones.

...... I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams, the imagination, mankind, digging for chip-chip and making castles on the sand at the beach.

So... you can have my checkbook and my car-keys; my credit card bills and my 401K statements. I am officially resigning from adulthood.

And if you want to discuss this further, you'll have to catch me first, cause.......tag! You're it!

Answer 10

LOL! Girl it's funny you put this up. My youngest is 8 years old today!

I know he thinks area and perimeter were invented by the devil himself and a tragedy is if it's raining and he can't go out to play. He thinks that most people are basically good and helpful and can't understand why we won't let him befriend them. McDonald's is still the best restaurant in existence, and Smurfs and the Flintstones are really cool 'new cartoons'.

But at the same time, he knows what global warming is. He knows why we should recycle and conserve energy. He knows that are bad people who will do bad things to you. He knows that there are children in the world being sold into slavery, are being forced to join illegal armies, and are dying of diseases. He knows what smoking and dugs will do to you and he knows where babies come from.

So for my part...yeah take me back to my 8 year old days, but I want to take him back to his 3 year old days!

--------------------------------------...

Thanks eh Julien & Re$h!! He had a great day.

Answer 12

If only baby that was possible,you'd have to catch me because I'd be first in line....Sometimes I feel the same way,longing for a simplier time. a time when you could leave your door unlock, when you couldn't say darm in front of a grown ups, regardless if you knew them or not.A time when I couldn't wait for August holidays so I could go down La Brea for the 2 months because I like the boy next door and I can't wait to see him and blush..ah yes, I could go on and on but let me stop because you have me feeling for a cold glass a mauby and a bellyful right now...lol
