I think all adults will agree that being a kid is much more fun. Not only do they have limited responsibilities, but they can say, do, act however they want because they haven’t reached puberty, therefore do not know themselves yet. It’s okay that Tommy throws fits, he’ll grow out of it. Yes, Jenny is really shy but she’ll come out of her shell one day. The great thing about being a child is the activities you get exposed to that you simply forget about once you reach early adulthood. All the simple things in life have gone away once you start college and live in the real world. Here are some fun activities from back in the day that made it great to be a kid.
- All the art projects. Do you remember making those hand turkeys and having your very own “Barney Bag.” Those were the days, having a crayola easel, finger painting, and getting a gold star for coloring inside the lines. Back in the day it was so simple to get your work displayed up on the wall. Once in the real world, that’s something that’s not easily done, you have to fight for it.
- Doing chores that seem fun. Things like raking the leaves are fun for kids to take part in. After all, you can make a huge mess again by jumping in the leaves and throwing them at your brothers and sisters. The great things about these little childhood traditions is that your mom and dad won’t yell at you, it’s expected and you’re allowed.
- Playing with neighborhood friends. Don’t you wish you could have those summer days back when you woke up, immediately went outside and played with all your friends on the block until dark. It’s so great to have nowhere to go, no bills to pay, and nothing but fun and games all day. If only a real adult could have these pleasures. I guess the rich and the famous have this opportunity, maybe that’s why a lot of them are uneducated and immature.
Basically all the arts and crafts, the snowmen and snow forts, the block parties with friends, the ability to stay out all day, are all the great things about being a child. When life is so great, you must capture it and hold onto it. Before you know it, a kid turns teen, a teen turns adult, and the not so favorable responsibilities force somebody into the not so friendly real world.
