RESIGNATION

[V8403]

RESIGNA TION
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 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 think M&Ms 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 thingsagain .
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
401 K 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."
Pass this to someone and brighten their day
by helping them remember the Simple
Things
Hope Ya'll join me

[MadMax]

But what about beer?

[hankhoffman]

I agree.

I would miss Beer! :D

[MadMax]

Yeah, remember waiting to get to 21? Life would be a lot simpler though.

[jarvisa]

I would have way more fun than I did originally.

[MadMax]

Yeah, I think I would have to change a lot of things.

[CplCJ]

We had Root Beer and Birch Beer. We had a lot of fun then. I always tell my son to not be in too much hurry to grow up.

[MadMax]

Never heard of the birch stuff... but I was in too much of a hurry to grow up.

[jarvisa]

You too Alex, I was the oldest so I played mommy alot and if I had to do it over again probably would have not done so much of that.

[Lauren's Soldier Boi]

You can always drink. I do a lot of times and I am not 21. Almost everyother weekend now.

[MadMax]

I don't know about returning to my youth. I would have to be thrown back I think.
