The Simplicity of Youth

When I was a kid, things were simple. Life was quite uncomplicated or at least to me it was. And sometimes I can't help but wish that things were the same now as they were then.

When blowing bubbles in the front yard was a great afternoon

When staying awake until 10:30 was next to impossible

When earthworms were fun, not disgusting

When summer lasted forever

When Super Mario Brothers 3 was technology at its finest

When boys were wierd, gross, and to be avoided at all costs, instead of wonderful, fasinating, and powerful

When long division was the most challenging of problems

When a weekly shower seemed exsessive

When 20 dollars was a fortune

When everywhere important on this earth could be reached by bicycle

When moving away from home was incomprehensible

When Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was the best piece of media ever to grace the television

When I didn't know the meaning of the word awkward let alone what an awkward moment was

When being a Christian meant being nice to my little sister

When nobody cared about my leadership skills

When I went through a whole box of band-aids every month

When I would fall asleep listening to Adventures inOddessy

Ohhh...to be young again

Oh, yes. To be young again. It is fun to reminesce...But adulthood has some perks too I guess.
