So why is it that when you grow up conventional thinking says you must “give up” kids’ stuff? Sure, you get to try new things because you are of age like a tasty margarita but why do I get a look if I want mac and cheese for dinner?
Sure no one is actually telling us we are not allowed to eat mac and cheese, watch Scooby Doo or make a root beer float but isn’t there always that one person? That one person who gives you that look or makes some back handed comment, what’s with that right?
I say why the heck not and while we are at it why do they care? If sitting down and watching a cartoon helps you to wipe away some stress of the “adult” world we must live in, then GO FOR IT! If coloring with a niece or nephew brings back memories of simpler times while making memories with your young family then WIN WIN!! Let’s all meet outside for a treat from the ice cream truck! 😊
I know you have heard this before “adulting sucks”, you have all the responsibility, all the decisions and the stress. So, go ahead and kick it “old school” with a drink, song, show or good ol’ mac and cheese cause let’s be honest it is AMAZING! To those who lift an eyebrow at “childish” behavior or tastes well feel bad that they cannot allow themselves to be free, even for just a few moments. We only get one trip around the sun so when the stress is high, and the bills are due take a couple of moments to remind yourself of those things that bring you true child like joy. Shine bright and much love!
