MY RESIGNATION

I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an ADULT.
I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an 8
year-old again.
I want to go to McDonald's and think that it's a four-star restaurant.
I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make a sidewalk with
rocks.
I want to think M&M's are better than money because you can eat them.
I want to drink Kool-Aid, eat lemon-heads and red-hots with my friends.
I want to turn my bike upside down and pretend I'm making ice cream.
I don't want to change clothes because I got a little dirty and my friends
didn't care cause they were even dirtier than I was.
I want to enjoy everyday like it's summer vacation.
I want to return to a time when life was simple. When all you knew were
colors, multiplication tables, and TV show theme songs, but that didn't
bother you, because you didn't know what you didn't know and you didn't
care.
All you knew was to be happy because you were blissfully unaware of all
the things that should make you worried or upset.
I want to think the world is fair. That everyone is honest and good.
I want to believe that anything is possible.
I want to be oblivious to the complexities of life and be overly excited
by the little things again, like a new hot wheel car every Saturday.
I want to live simple again. I don't want my day to consist of computer
crashes, mountains of homework, depressing news, how to survive more
illness, and loss of loved ones.
I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth,
justice, peace, dreams, the imagination and mankind.
I want to "Dream of Jeannie," and "Bewitched."
I want to go to "Gilligan's Island" and take a trip to "Fraggle Rock."
I want to be in the roller derby and actually believe the three stooges
are real.

So...here's my checkbook and my car-keys, my credit card bills and my 401K
statements, my pager, my cell phone, my palm pilot, my computer, my fax
machine and my DVD player, my car payment and last but not least my
mortgage book.
I am officially resigning from adulthood.  And if you want to discuss this
further, you'll have to catch me first...cause.....

"TAG YOU'RE IT AND YOU HAVE COOTIES"

  (Pass this to someone and brighten their day by helping them remember
   that life's simple pleasures are the best.)
