My Official Resignation

I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult. balloon3

I have decided
I would like

to accept the

responsibilities

of an

8 year old again.

On my birthday
See that? They don't even give me enough candles.

My friend would give me a better cake.
Bugs Bunny is smart ... and he is my friend too.

I want to go to McDonald's

and think that it's

a four star restaurant.

and have a big big very big party

I want to sail sticks

across a fresh mud puddle. . . .

. . . .and make ripples with rocks.

Play with my friends and be Robin Hood
and shoot arrows
and my best friend will be Little John.
He really is my very best friend
and we help all the good people.

I want to think

M&M's are

better than

money because

you can eat them.

I want to lie under a big tree

and run a lemonade stand

with my friends

on a hot

summer's day.

Or go to the beach
have fun in the sun ... dig holes ... make tunnels.

I want to play kickball during recess and paint with watercolors in art.

I remember what I thought was the worst thing in the world.
It was if someone took the jump rope from me or picked me last for punchball.

I want to play stickball, ring-a-leevio, stoopball, and kick-the-can.

I remember when I would walk on the beach and only think of the sand
between my toes and the prettiest seashell I could find.

And when I would spend my afternoons climbing trees and riding my bike ... I want to be 8 again.
I have a girlfriend she's very special.
and pretty too.

She likes me because I'm ME.

I want to return to a time when life was simple.

When all you knew was

colors,

multiplication tables,

nursery rhymes ... well some of them.

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,

and loss of loved ones.

I want to believe in

the power of smiles, hugs,

justice,

a kind word, truth,

peace, dreams,

love,

the imagination, mankind,

and making angels in the snow.

So .... here's my checkbook,

my wallet,

my car-keys,

my credit cards and

my 401K statements.
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.

Shucks, now that I'm here, finally online,
Give me a chance ... Let me resign.
Then take me back - Navigator - to the human race.
Take me back to Buddy's place.

Another page ... I Want To Be A Kid Again ... a similar message.
Except it is less "party-ish".
And now why not ... Recommend this page to a friend?
