Be a kid again!


Saw this list, and it made me smile. I hope it does you too. I didn't come up with the list, although reading it, I think I could have. I was reminded of when I was a kid. My favorite thing in the summer was to ride on my dad's lap while he mowed the grass on our "snapper" lawnmower. In the winter, I loved making snowmen and snow animals with my mom. Here is a picture of my parents and me with a snow bear we made! WHAT MEMORIES! 

Below is a list of things you can do to be a kid again. Any of these bring back memories? What's your favorite?
  1. Do a cartwheel.
  2. Sing into your hairbrush.
  3. Walk barefoot in wet grass.
  4. Play a song you like really loud, over and over.
  5. Dot all your “i”’s with smiley faces.
  6. Read the funnies. Throw the rest of the paper away.
  7. Dunk your cookies.
  8. Play a game where you make up the rules as you go along.
  9. Step carefully over sidewalk cracks.
  10. Change into some play clothes.
  11. Try to get someone to trade you a better sandwich.
  12. Eat ice cream for breakfast.
  13. Kiss a frog, just in case.
  14. Blow the wrapper off a straw.
  15. Have someone read you a story.
  16. Find some pretty stones and save them.
  17. Wear your favorite shirt with you favorite pants even if they don’t match.
  18. Take a running jump over a big puddle.
  19. Get someone to buy you something you really don’t need.
  20. Hide your vegetables under your napkin.
  21. Stay up past your bedtime.
  22. Eat dessert first.
  23. Fuss a little, then take a nap.
  24. Wear red gym shoes.
  25. Put way too much sugar on your cereal.
  26. Make cool screeching noises every time you turn a corner.
  27. Giggle a lot for no reason.
  28. Give yourself a gold star for everything you do today.

I do these all the time! Guess that means I'm pretty much still a kid. ;)
