Children's Day Thought

[ruixiong]

I remembered when I was in kindergarden, I always wanted to have a Mcdonalds' Kids birthday party. Like it was the coolest thing ever, and if you invited your friends, it would be like a WOW thing to show off. It was really really cool because you had all these balloons and the meals were delivered up from the kitchen to the party room via an elevator (in the really OLD KAP). I loved Happy Meals because there were always all these cut-outs on the box and they also had these toys that came along with them. I also liked to hold onto the box because the handle was the Mcdonalds' M and I liked putting my fingers through them so that I could carry the meal home. In particular, I liked drinking milk out of the carton from the Happy Meal.

I wanted to grow up quickly as an adult. Be a pilot for Singapore Airlines so that I could fly aeroplanes. I remember my favourite aeroplane model used to be the Boeing 747. The best gift I had gotten was a booklet from Lufthansa airlines, and it had all these photos of different plane models in their fleet. Oh, and the package also had a small plane model. I remember placing them in my Power Ranger bag. On my first trip to Switzerland when I was 7, I would sit at the attic, read the booklet over and over and play with the Lufthansa airplane model I had.

I forgot how it felt like to be a kid, but I suddenly remembered again.

Happy Children's Day. :)
