Being a kid again...



Ever wondered what it would be like if you only had toys to worry about? No alarm clock ringing you awake too early for the day. No crumpled up daily schedules. No beeping cellular phones. No classes to attend. No records to write. No exams. No projects to work on. No worries. No tensions. And most importantly no Work at all!

Dont we all want to be kids again? Play up the tree, tag, hide and seek....don't we all? I know I do.

So you all get your pen and paper, you can sign the same contract that appears below:

RESIGNATION

I (state yourname), 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 lie under a big tree 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, disheartened, hurt, ditches, lies, egostics 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, I am officially resigning from adulthood. And if you want to discuss this further, you'll have to catch me first!
