a fortune cookie

It's always fun to pick a fortune from a table of more than one. The waiter gave us three fortune cookies and I was second to pick mine. Mine read "in the middle of a busy day, take some time to be a kid again."

This is the second fortune in less than three months that has come true. The first one is too personal to mention but it was a good fortune. We always read them wondering if they will come true. We try to somehow figure the hidden message it tells us. I got my fortune on Saturday and on Tuesday I was in a room with other adults coloring. There is a phrase for it, it is now called Adult Coloring because if we say we went coloring it wouldn't sound right, right. They had several coloring books and we got to pick what we wanted. I glanced over the books and when she said that it was okay to cut the page out I knew I had to cut wonder woman out from the comic book. The reasoning behind Adult Coloring is to release stress and a form of relaxation. I just like coloring. I've always like coloring but now it is normal to do it in public with other people. It is normal to do it when you are a kid but once you become an adult it seams all the things you liked doing you have to stop because it is no longer okay.

I made a new friend in the process, we plan on meeting again next month to color.

As adults we get excited when we see things that reminds us of our past. Like when I see a package of Mamba or Now and Laters. It always reminds me of being a kid. When I would walk to the store down the street just to buy them. Then it starts a series of memories of being a kid and how it would be fun at times to be a kid again. We were so young not realizing we would have to grow up one day. Not realizing that it all would change. How when you are a kid you want to hurry and grow up just to realize how innocent that wish you would want to take back.

I think that is why grandparents have a better relationship with their grandkids because it allows them to be kids again.

As I'm writing this I'm eating Cracker Jacks. When I was a kid I would get excited just to get the prize inside.

My God Daughter always sends me artwork in the mail. When she saw this she asked if I colored it for her. I've sealed it and off it goes to her.

We tell our little ones to stay young as long as they can. No hurry in growing up. But no matter what we say society has already told them to stop being a kid and grow up.
  
It's okay to be a kid again. I was able to step back in time and come back to being an adult. No harm done.
