Admit it, you've felt this way too

AN ADULTS 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 Mc'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 & M's 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

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, 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 . . here's my checkbook and my car-keys, my credit card bills 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. "

So whose next in the queue?
