I was standing, leaning against the wall at my old job in the restaurant. It was a very slow Tuesday and I saw a young boy bouncing and jumping around just being a kid. The boy was a bit older, but still acceptable to be acting in such a manner. Then the thought ran through my mind: Where is the borderline of that being acceptable for us? If we saw an old man, or perhaps a middle aged man bouncing and jumping around we'd think he was crazy, but as a kid it's perfectly normal. Is it our parents who eventually stop us from jumping around and being free until we are told to "stop"? I'm one of those people who never lost that freedom and happiness, I'm not afraid to skip down the sidewalk or push the shopping cart really fast, jump on, and ride it to the car. A lot of people lose their inner child and would be embarrased and even cruel towards those who can have fun. My challenge for you is to skip down the skidewalk, ride a bike down that giant hill just for fun, jump in the leaves, go in the store and press all the buttons to the toys that make noise, buy a yo-yo, buy one of your old childhood memory movies, eat icecream for breakfast, anything childish. Most of all, do it with a smile on your face and have fun, because it doesn't count otherwise :)
