My Official Resignation

... Recommend this page to a friend.

I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult.

I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an 8 year old again.

On my birthday
See that? They don't even give me enough candles.

My friend would give me a better cake.
Bugs Bunny is smart ... and he is my friend too.


I want to go to McDonald's

and think that it's

a four star restaurant.

and have a big big very big party


I want to sail sticks

across a fresh mud puddle. . . .

. . . .and make ripples with rocks.


Play with my friends and be Robin Hood
and shoot arrows
and my best friend will be Little John.
He really is my very best friend
and we help all the good people.


I want to think

M&M's are

better than

money because

you can eat them.


I want to lie under a big tree

and run a lemonade stand

with my friends

on

a

hot

summer's day.


Or go to the beach
have fun in the sun ... dig holes ... make tunnels.

I want to play kickball during recess
and paint with watercolors in art.

I remember when I thought the worst thing in the world was if someone took the jump rope from me
or picked me last for punchball.

I want to play stickball, ring-a-leevio, stoopball,
and kick-the-can.

I remember when I would walk on the beach and only think of the sand between my toes and the prettiest seashell I could find.

And when I would spend my afternoons climbing trees and riding my bike … I want to be 8 again.

I have a girlfriend she's very special.
and pretty too.

She likes me

because

I'm

ME.

I want to return to a time when life was simple.


When all you knew was


colors,


multiplication tables,


nursery rhymes ... well some of them,
but
that
didn't
bother you,
because you didn't know
what you didn't know
and
you
didn't
care.
All you knew was to be happy
because you were blissfully unaware of
all
the
things
that
should
make you
worried or upset.


I want to think the world is fair.

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
again.

I want to live simple again.

I don't want my day to consist of
computer crashes,
mountains of paperwork,

depressing news,

how to survive more days in the month

than there is money
in the bank,

doctor bills,

gossip,

illness,

and loss of loved ones.

I want to believe in

the power of smiles,

hugs,

justice,

a kind word,

truth,


peace,

dreams,


love,

the imagination,

mankind,

and making angels in the snow.

So .... here's my checkbook,
my wallet,

my car-keys,

my credit cards and

my 401K statements.
I am officially resigning from adulthood.

And if you want to discuss this further,
you'll have to catch me first,
'cause,

Tag! You're it.




Shucks, now that I'm here, finally online,
Give me a chance ... Let me resign.
Then take me back - Navigator - to the human race.
Take me back to Buddy's place.
