Resignation

To Whom It May Concern

Herewith I Officially Resign As An Adult. I Have Decided To Take On The Responsibilities Of An Eight Year Old Again. I Want To Go To Mcdonald's And Think It's A Four Star Restaurant. I Want To Sail Stick Boats On A Muddy Puddle After The Rain. I Want To Play Touch.

I Want To Go Back To A Time When Smarties Were More Valuable Than Money Because You Could Eat Them. I Want To Lie Under A Huge Shady Tree With My Mates On A Hot Summer Day And Dream While Chewing On A Blade Of Grass.

I Want To Return To A Time When Life Was Simple And Knowledge Was Limited To Colours, Multiplication Tables And Old Mac Donald Had A Farm. It Didn't Matter That There Were Things You Didn't Know. So What! All You Knew Was How To Be Happy Because You Were Blissfully Unaware Of Things That Would Upset You Or Get You Worrying - Like Zits.

I Want To Believe Again That Life Is Good And Fair And Everyone Is Honest And Genuine. I Want To Believe Anything Is Possible.

I Want To Live Simply Again, I Don't Want To Have To Deal With Computer Crashes, Mountains Of Paperwork, Depressing News, More Days In The Month Than The Total In My Bank Account, Doctors' Bills, Gossip, Illness And The Loss Of Loved Ones.

I Want To Believe Again In The Power Of A Smile, Hugs, A Friendly Word, The Truth As It Was In The Beginning. Justice, Peace, Dreams, Imagination, People Without Their Masks And Questionable Motives. I Want To Bake Mudcakes.

So Here Are My "chequebook", My Car Keys, My Credit Cards And Everything Else That Represents "grown-up". Herewith I Officially Resign From Adulthood. If You'd Like To Discuss This Issue Or Whatever Else, You'll Have To Chase Me Because ..........."touch! You Ca-a-a-n't Catch Me!"

Cyndi, this is mostly for you! I figure you'll love it!
(Thanks Tina! Way too cute!)

You've been tagged on my blog.

You don't have to play if you don't want to, I won't be offended.

I have recently developed the impluse to sing, "nya-nya-na boo boo, I'm not listening to you," whenever my husband talks. does that count?
