Feeling Like Children Once Again!

It's amazing how simple stuff can turn adults to kids. I was with family the other day. We were just roaming the mall, just hanging out, when my brother asked me if I can accompany him to Toy Kingdom, and so I did. I agreed because there are also video game consoles being sold there and I thought I'd see the prices. When I got there, shelves and shelves of toys suprised me. There really are a lot of toys there. I went to the Star Wars section and grabbed myself a toy Lightsaber. After a minute, I was swinging it while making sound effects, like a kid. These things can bring out the kid in us. After holding the toy, I quickly remembered the toys I had when I was young. I had lots of them and taken them for granted. I had no idea my parents had to work hard for me to have them.

It is completely fine for one to be playful at times. Even though it may make us look like children again but as long as we are happy, there is no problem to it. I do act like kids too sometimes when it comes to eating while my girlfriend would be one when she step into the themed park. Oh well, just enjoy our life and we don't have to pay attention to what others think about us.

From the picture I can see that every one of you is having a lot of fun with the cool water. It is a good feeling that you can find as small children. It is a wonderful memory when we long for those days when we were children. That kind of pleasure as a child is nice and simple without much thought. I miss my childhood and my childhood friends as well. Thanks for sharing.

Oh wow i saw the picture and it did look like you had fun! I would have love to bath in that cool water.. being chidlike i believe is essential, it makes us think back of the things that are simple yet meaningful in our lives.

Waow thats wonderful. Having feeling like child in this thats look awesome.

From the photo I can see that it was a hot day, no wonder you enjoyed yourself. It is good to take time off and do something a little unusual and out of routine. If it makes us feel young it is probably because for a while we forget all of our responsibilites and problems and simply enjoy the moment. I guess that is why you felt like a child again, as adults we tend to lose the joy of the moment except at special times. Perhaps we should treat ourselves more often.

hi simplyD we all need to let the child out occasionally and have fun like kids again.And its nice that you and your boss and her boyfriend and son took you along and you all had fun together. thats also lovely will look at your pictures too. Happy thanksgiving

Having fun like swimming and playing with water like children do similar to second childhood. What wonderful fun, without any care in the world to worry. I remembered my wife and I took a guided group vacation to Europe. We are from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and we were joined my others from Penang in the northern Malaysia. We were having breakfast in our hotel and someone yelled, "Eh, it is snowing." Everyone in our group ignoring our breakfast and rushed out to play with snow. The seventy overs years olds were now children again. All of us had suddenly have all the energy of children. We rolled on the snow like children do as what we saw in movies. It was our first snow!

I saw the picture, commented asking 'which one is you'; now i read you and your boss are not there when i am with my grandkids; i feel i am younger than them

I think that no matter how old we become, there remains a child in us. I am in my early 40's and although I may not look like my 20's, still feel young inside. My son would often tease me about the way my friends and I talk. He would laugh and say that we talk like teenagers. Well, we are all happy for the compliment, of course. Cos I think my friends and I really got stuck somehow in our high school life that whenever we are together, we still talk the same and not stiff like other people our age.

What a fun! It looks as if you all enjoyed it very much.It is great you still preserve traces of childishness and Your boss becomes one with the employees.

yes, it is fun to be kids. Free of all. free of worries, problems are easily solved, when hurt just a kiss from the mother and the pains just go away. It is really so nice to be kids. and sometimes we can kids too and do other kids do just like what you did. Glad you had a nice time.

ALL of us sometimes like to feel and experience again those things that we do during our childhood.I sometimes bath in the rain , play with my nephews toys with them, teach and help them color their coloring books and some school stuff.

it's an interesting and impressive, if I was involved in it, I would always laugh and remember it until whenever, preach and tell a friend.

Yeah such a moment happened to me too but I did not become a child at time. At such young age I became a parent. I gave lots of instructions to all who came into the pool.

So actually you are saying that if you have fun you are a child again and adults can not have fun? Or should not have fun?

u are right Ms SIMPLYD. i think we are just missing our childhood life sometimes. me mostly i can act like a child when I show fondness or affection to my boyfriend.I frequently do it like when we are having a webcam chatting we're teasing each other, laughing and dancing like a kid.

I can see that you are all having fun from the picture. SOmetimes we really should get away from busy work and relax a little, it's good for our health. Hope you have more chance to relax. Thanks for sharing, nice day!
