Thoughtful Thursday: "Oh to be a child"
When I was doing the laundry.. I just watched my two kids running around and playing and literally what echoed in my mind was "Oh to be a child.."
It's so easy. Not a care in the world. They don't need to worry about a job.. or bills.. or wondering what you have to make to eat. They don't need to hold such big responsibilities like washing the dishes and making sure that the house is clean.
Man. Being a child is the life!
But clearly.. you can't be a 30 something child... that is just a very wrong picture right there. lol.
It's such a nice thing to see though-- how liberating it is to be a child. So much joy. So much happiness. The fact that they put so much faith in us as their parents.
I always find it amusing how when a child asks for food and the food just appears-- do you think they wonder where it comes from? Nah. They just want to eat the food right!
So imagine the day they ask and there's no food.. how would they respond? I honestly believe they think we're magicians... because whatever they ask for we somehow appear with it. lol.
There's days where I find myself having some quiet time and I'm just like "I wonder what goes through children sometimes" Because children are so carefree and so innocent-- they have yet to experience certain emotions and certain experiences- it's actually a beautiful thing to be a child.
It makes you kind of reflect and to think did we enjoy being a child when it was our time? In this generation now kids don't want to be kids anymore.. they are rushing to the adult responsibilities that we now want to revert from.
Oh to be a child again-- if I had a chance..
