Wouldn't it be lovely not to have to worry about bills and the like

Sometimes i feel that I don't know how lucky I am to be a kid. But i wish I was alot younger again so i was young enough not to know better.

Like when Chris said:

because I didn't know what I didn't know and
I didn't care.

That was a perfect age to be, compared to now, because I do know what I don't know and it bothers me!

Having had pne of those days/weeks, I feel it is appropriate to resurrect this post.

Now, last one to the swings is a big girls blouse

I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an 8 year-old again.

I want to go to McDonald's and think that it's a four star restaurant.
I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make a pavement with rocks.

I want to think M&Ms are better than money because you can eat them.
I want to lie under a big oak tree and play doctors and nurses with my friends on a hot summer's day.

I want to return to a time when life was simple;
When all I knew were colours, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes, and it didn't bother me, because I didn't know what I didn't know and
I didn't care.

All I knew was to be happy because I was blissfully unaware of all the things that should make me worry 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, 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 cheque book and my car-keys,
my credit card bills and my mobile phone.

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."

Hope You'll join me!
:P :P :P :P :P

1. When I read "I quit" from Chris, I got scared...I thought we as a bunch of crazed ML fans finally drove him to untimely retirement.
2. Took me sometime to figure out that although it appears that Chris would like to be a child again...he might have changed his mind in 3 years since that post.
3. Never managed to grow up...so never been an adult yet...but sometimes I do wonder how they feel...

Andy don't make me go into the whole yellow and red card system we had...!!!

*AndyK* · 23 Jun 2006, 09:37

Ahhh go on, I dare you

LucyK! · 23 Jun 2006, 12:05

Andy consider yourself on a warning. One more and you'll lose your free time at 11.30 today, instead of which you'll be in the hall with Mrs Chapman working on a written explanation as to why you missed that time.

(this works on the kids because Mrs Chapman is my Mum! lol )

*AndyK* · 23 Jun 2006, 12:09

Hmmm ... I'm sure your mum would love to hear some of the stories I could tell her ...

LucyK! · 23 Jun 2006, 13:39

Andy!! Which stories would they be...!

*AndyK* · 26 Jun 2006, 10:03

You know the ones Lucy! The ones you asked us all to keep quiet about, I'm sure your mother would love to hear them
