I am hereby officially tendering my I havedecided I would like to accept theresponsibilities of an 8 year-oldagain. I want to go to McDonald'sand think that it's a four starrestaurant.I want to sail sticks across a freshmud puddle and make a sidewalkwith rocks. I want to think M&Msare better than money because youcan eat them. I want to lie under a bigoak tree and run a lemonade standwith my friends on a hotsummer's day. I want to return to atime when life was simple; When all youknew were colors, multiplication tables,and nursery rhymes,but that didn't bother you,because you didn't know what youdidn't know and you didn't care.All you knew was to be happybecause you were blissfully unawareof all the things that should make youworried or upset.I want to think the world is fair.That everyone is honest and good.I want to believe that anything ispossible. I want to be obliviousto the complexities of life and beoverly excited by the little thingsagain. I want to live simple again.I don't want my day to conisist ofcomputer crashes,mountains of paperwork,depressing news, how to survivemore days in the month than thereis money in the bank, doctor bills,gossip, illness, and loss of loved ones.I want to believe in the power ofsmiles, hugs, a kind word, truth,justice, peace, dreams, the imagination,mankind, and making angels in the snow.So... Here's my checkbookand my car-keys, my credit card billsand my 401K statements.I am officially resigning from Adulthood.And if you want to discuss thisfurther, you'll have to catch mefirst, cause........."Tag! You're It."...
