I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult.
I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an 6 year-old
again.
I want to go to McDonald's and think that it's a four star restaurant and
then be able to afford a movie.
I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make a sidewalk with
rocks and bask in the sun.
I want to think M&Ms are better than money because you can eat them.
I want to lie under a big oak tree with a drippy ice cream cone and run
a
lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summer's day.
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, and making angels in
the
snow.
So . . . here's 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........

I worried as a six year old. I even got shingles from worrying so much.
They're like hives/blisters except they don't itch, you only get them on
one side of your back and they're disgusting.
I'd still rather be six years old, but I'm not an adult yet either! ____________________ "Pity no one was there

Well, it's not really about reliving your childhood years, I think it is
more about being old enough to enjoy being a kid again. As someone who
works with children everyday, I have to say, the do have fun at it. Would I
want to be a kid again? Hell no, my childhood was awful. Would I like to
shirk responsibilty, believe that there is good in humankind, and not worry
about paying my rent, hell yeah, sign me up. ____________________ It's like kegel exercises for your throat.~Monolycus |

This reads suspiciously as though it were plagiarised from one of those
crispy, crunchy, slappy, happy bits of spam sent by well-meaning friends
that keep cluttering up my mailbox. I'm almost positive that I've read
this before.

I don't think the current reality paradigm would except me as a six year
old again...the first time was bad enough...I was the child-equivilant of
mustard-gas with a cute smile. ____________________ In the valley of the Goats, the Goat Fucker is King |
