as an adult!

My Resignation

I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult.
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 sidewalk 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 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 colours, 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,
utility bills,
gossip,
illness,
and the loss of loved ones.

I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, and a kind word;
truth,
justice,
peace,
dreams,
imagination,
mankind,
and making angels in the snow.

So . . . here's my cheque book and my car keys, my credit card bills.

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."

lol. This was great. Can we play hide-and-go-seek with your credit card bills, but you could send us all a check to be friends? You should keep the car keys, though, and go on a joy ride!

lol... When my daughter was in pre-kindergarten, she took all of the Monopoly $500's to her school and gave them away so that everyone would have some money -- left our Monopoly game in the Poor House, though, lol.

I'll follow you !

**Giselle** · 08-06-2010, 04:46 PM

Just Great, Now I am back to adulthood!

Now I have to lure another victim so I can return to my perpetual fun, playing, and not a care in the world.

Whoever comes in here next, You're it!

Wait, you mean to say you've been an adult all this time?

Great read.

**dWhite** · 08-06-2010, 05:42 PM

And at first I thought you were resigning from mod, and I realized this forum would be lost without you!

Great read.

Well I have tried to remain childlike, but the best I could manage was childish!

**lynxus** · 08-06-2010, 06:05 PM

lol.

That is all.

Anyone wanna goto the field and make a rope swing over that smelly stream?

Scary title but a great post for making people think.

But do you recall the bummers?
Going to school on a pretty day?
All that darn homework!
Why do I need to memorize these multiplication tables?
Who cares about spelling?
Is it Christmas yet?

I could go on and on, but I won't.
