and in that moment i swear we were infinite...
i was babysitting on friday night, for 2 boys, an 8 year old and a 2 year old. we went outside to play with other kids from the street, at around 8 pm, and there was this little 7 year old girl there. her name was meghan. she took a liking to me and was sitting next to me on the front porch and she was telling me things about her friends and stuff. and i realized that she reminded me of myself when i was little. she was just sitting there, telling me that she wished that she was my age because i could do 'whatever i want.' we were talking about her friends and she was saying how most of them were boys, and that she'd rather have it that way because they're more fun and the other girls at school always tease her. i don't really know where this entry is going, but i think that people are too eager to grow up. little kids don't realize that when they get older, they can't just run outside and play tag or manhunt with all the kids from the street, without getting into a fight, or hurting someone's feelings, or being gossiped about behind their backs. the only thing they have to worry about is what time their mom wants them back in the house. i kind of wish that i would be little forever. it was so much easier. if i was little right now, i'd probably be outside playing some sort of game with my neighbors instead of in here, typing on my computer. i wish they knew how good they have it...those little kids. and not to grow up too fast, because they'll regret it later, when they realize that they ran out of time to play tag.
