Childhood to Adulthood

A LIST of things I wish we carried over from childhood to adulthood:

• That I still got an allowance for doing chores
• That I still ate coco puffs every morning
• That I still climbed trees and had a tree house
• That I still had slumber parties
• That I still went roller skating every Friday night, ("All Skate, Change directions")
• That I still had "big bangs"
• That I still wore a fanny pack
• That I could still wear my fluorescent pink shorts
• That it was still cool to dress like a twin with your best friend
• Not being able to sleep on Christmas Eve
• Not being able to sleep the night before my birthday
• Eating poprocks!
• That I could still spend Saturdays playing ATARI
• That I still rocked at Skip-It
• That I could still buy a "pool pass" and go EVERYDAY, ALL DAY in the summer
• That I still had plastic streamers on my bike
• That I could still get lost in the Little House in the Prairie books (wishing I was Laura Ingalls)
