Being a kid is probably one of the best experiences we will ever get in our lives. I've never understood when people have this uncontrollable urge to grow up - I mean we only get 1/6 or less or our lives where being utterly enthusiastic, creative and inquisitive is socially acceptable. After that the pressure is on to fit in with the rest of the 'normal' world. Suddenly you become immature if you want to run around and play ridiculous, fictitious games. You become messed-up instead of cute when you talk to yourself. Not to mention the fact that suddenly you are expected to work for the rest of your life, earning as much money as possible so you can retire happily.
WHAT?
no.
I refuse. That's right - I just flat our denied your pressures to grow up world, what do you have to say to that? I don't care if people scoff and give frosty looks, because I will be having about 400 times more fun than they are!
So here's an invisible toast to all those who have discovered that it's okay not to grow up so fast. Because honestly - what's the point if you aren't enjoying anything?
