Don't trust anyone over 30 or, the screw adulthood thread
Today I had candy for breakfast and played videogames for two hours, read some fantasy and spent about thirty minutes imagining what my life would have been like if I had had a twin sister. Being a grown-up is great as long as you don't have to act grown-up.
What did you do today that as a child you totally didn't think you would still be allowed to do? What are the joys of childhood to you? Which of them are still open to you, and what do you miss? What do you wish you had done that is now too late? Important questions, according to that other thread I just read. Questions that demand our ongoing consideration and participation. Hopefully. Unless I'm thinking about this all wrong.
Me, I miss being able to walk up to a complete stranger and ask if they'd like to play tag/build a sandcastle/be friends/watch a movie/anything. I might be crazy, but I don't think it should be so hard to talk to people on the street. What's up with that?
