I Miss Being A Kid

Happy Friday,

I'll have you know that as I write this I'm using my bloated stomach as a table for my laptop. I just finished eating 3 pieces of pizza, 2 pieces of chicken, mac n cheese, coleslaw, and mashed potatoes. That was just dinner. That doesn't include the piece of pizza, 2 cheesesticks, and bowl of cereal I had earlier. I'm literally about to puke up 5 tons of cheese. I love food entirely too much. I've gained so much weight ever since I started dating Dillon. I swear every time I go down to see him we eat out at the most unhealthy places. We don't believe in eating light. At all.

Anyway, today I went to pick up Dillon's cousins, Avery and Meagan. They're absolutely adorable, and Avery is such a little game nerd. He and I were arguing about weapons in Skyrim earlier...I won. They're both very sweet and talented in their own ways. Meagan spent 30 minutes trying to teach me the cup song from Pitch Perfect. (I haven't seen the movie, but the song is pretty cool) But, needless to say I totally failed at flippin' that cup around attempting to make a song out of it.

I love kids. Why is it that when we're kids we seem to have everything figured out, but the older we get the more confused we are? Maybe the saying is true and ignorance is bliss. Maybe being naive isn't such a bad thing. There are some days that I wish I didn't know all the things I did know. I miss being a kid a lot. I remember when I was young, all I cared about was spending time with my parents and brother and playing with my toys. That's it. I didn't think about boys, or grades, or people's opinions of me. I didn't think about people judging me. I was just always exactly what I wanted to be. Kids are who they are, and they have imaginations and they have fun. Perhaps what's wrong with the world is that people have forgotten what it's like to be a kid.
