Saw this posted elsewhere and decided to share it here cuz I know some people here will be able to relate. ;) :)
I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult:
I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of a 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........
Tag! You're it!

So true FM. I find myself wishing I was a little kid again all the time. Funny thing is when you are young you can't wait to grow up.:confused:

What a Buzzkill!!:D :D :D Especially when you consider that life only consists of maybe 60 GOOD years depending on who you talk to. Good Grief Charley Brown!:rolleyes:
