Gum Drops

Growing up is hard. Everyone tells you that when you are a kid you better enjoy it, but you never pay any attention. It feels like you will be a kid forever. Then one day you wake up and your parents are saying now I legally don't have to take care of you *just kidding* Being a child was the best, you could run without getting a cramp in your side, and you always seemed to have an endless well of energy. You got to do silly things without getting in trouble for them. You got to eat loads of sweets without worrying about it going to your hips. Mud Pies, sunshine, running through the sprinklers, arm floats, and knee scrapes, training wheels, and hopscotch. Well, thats just behind us now. Now we have to be an adult, and you know I okay with that. It took some getting used to but I don't think I'm getting any younger.
