What do you miss the most about being a kid?

I think of this from time to time and I would have to say that I miss being carefree. When I was younger, I didn't realize that when I got older, I would have problems that were bigger than forgetting to finish my homework.
So, what do you miss the most?

I miss waking up in the morning and having no "to do list." I loved getting up early, eating a quick breakfast and then heading outside to spend the day in the fresh air and sunshine, walking, riding my bike, picking flowers, chasing butterflies, enjoying my friends, all of it. I'd run in when Mom called, dinner was waiting on the table and, after eating, I'd be right back outside. The kids on our block would play hide and seek or soccer baseball or whatever came to mind, until it got dark and the street lights came on. When those lights came on, it was time to go home. Into a bathtub that was already filled and then into fresh pyjamas that I didn't have to wash. A good night's sleep, in fragrant, line-dried sheets, and I was up and ready to do it all again.

yeah, i have to agree with you. i didnt care so much about the future as much as i do now. i didnt have to worry about money, as i didnt think i needed a lot of money when i was a kid. all i wanted to do then is eat, and play lots of video games!!! i also miss playing with toys without looking like a fool!!!:)
