When I grow up, I shall be able to play videogames or read past my bedtime
And my parents will not tell me that I have to go to sleep
When I grow up, I shall be able to go in the hot tub at the YMCA
And stay there until closing
When I grow up, I shall be able to have peanut butter and jelly for every meal
And ice cream whenever I want
When I grow up, I shall be able to skip my shower or bath
Unless I want one
When I grow up, I shall be able to leave my things lying wherever I want
And nobody will tell me to pick them up
When I grow up, I shall be able to have my own house
And rooms for all my toys
When I grow up, I shall be able to write many wonderful books
And people will love my stories
When I grow up, I shall be able to use a snowblower
To spend less time shoveling and more time playing in the snow piles
When I grow up, I shall be able to wear whatever clothes I want
And nobody will tell me that they're not nice enough or cool enough
When I grow up, I shall be able to make a huge blanket fort
And nobody will tell me to take it down
When I grow up, I shall be able to have a job in a research lab
And do awesome science experiments all day
Are we there yet?
growing up,
reflection,
insight,
wishing,
