I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult. I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of a 5 year old again.
* I want to go to McDonald's and think that it is a four star restaurant.
* I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make ripples in a pond with rocks.
* I want to think M&M's are better than money because you can eat them.
* I want to lie under a big oak tree and watch the ants march up its trunk.
* I want to run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summer's day.
* I want to go fishing and care more about catching the minnows along the shore than the big bass in the lake.
* I want to think the world is fair.
* I want to return to a time when life was simple. When all I knew about were colours, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes. When I didn't know what I know now. When all I knew was to be happy because I was blissfully unaware of all the things that should make me worried.
* I want to think that a penny is worth more than a five pound note because it is prettier and weighs more.
* I want to think that everyone is honest and good. I want to believe that anything is possible.
* I want to be oblivious to the complexities of life and be overly excited by the little things in life again.
* I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, dreams, the imagination, the Tooth Fairy, a kiss that makes a boo-boo go away, making angels in the snow, and that my dad and G-d are the strongest people in the world.
So......here's my checkbook and my car keys, my credit cards and the bills, my P60's and SA100 statements, my stocks and bonds, my collections, my insurance premiums, my job, my house and the payments, my e-mail address, pager, cell phone, computer, and watch. I am officially resigning from adulthood. And if you want to discuss this with me further, you'll have to catch me cause........
tag! You're it!

tag? I thought we were playing hide'n'seek! Excellent, I love tag :-)
buddy you said it. Sometimes makes me wonder, all good guys finish last or all the bad guys finish first. Then I wonder what is good really being nice to people around you or being good to yourself. And yes since you resign I resign too :-) I just want to go out and play cricket in a hot summer afternoon. Do I sound like a loser, maybe but hey who cares.
I was googling to find the legal definition of resignation when I found your blog. Stopped me in my tracks. Made me realise why we try so hard not to "resign" from all the things in modern grown up life which make it such a crap experience. So could I add one to your list? To go back to a time when windows were things you looked out from on to a garden covered in Christmas snow or Spring sunshine?
