Toys "R" Us Kid

Some days I wish I could go back to the days where M&Ms were currency and the biggest decision I had to make was wether I wanted Jello or pudding in my lunch.  Now it's all about, work, debt, voting, jury duty and time management.  I miss the old me.

I just want to take a day off work with my friends and build a fort or go to the zoo.  I would give my right arm for my folks to have to sign a permission slip for me to go to a museum again.  Making choices for myself kind of sucks.  They call it "growing up".  I say 'screw that'.  You can take your responsability and shove it in your you know where.  I just want to eat some grahm crackers and take a nap while someone reads me a story. 

Remember the day when you could eat anything you wanted and not gain  pound?  Or even that putting on weight was a good thing.  Now we have to count calories and carbohydrates.  I want to drink soda and eat pizza with every topping imaginable without the thought of what it's goin to do to my cholesterol level. 

I propose an "inner child day".  A day where all of us adults go to the park and play on the monkey bars or swings.  A day where we can go to a store and pick out candy instead of picking out the correct letter-head.  A day for unbridled happiness like we used to have on Christmas morning.  Anyone else with me on this?

Leave a comment to propose a date for our day.  As of right now, I'm thinking June 1st.  The perfect time of year to spend a day outdoors with your friends. 

Until next time remember, age is only a number.  True youth comes from within.
