Things I would have done today if I were still five or six years old

I sometimes wish I'd never grown up.  Here are the things I would have done today if I weren't a grown-up.

1. I would have asked to use the cool new pencil, even though my old one still works well.
2. I would have walked right by the pile of laundry to fold, because I would have been imagining I were a fairy princess who wears flower petals instead of clothes.
3. I would have eaten the last slice of pizza, without sharing, because I wanted it.
4. I would have watched the snow flakes fall outside instead of worrying about someone driving in the coming storm.
5. I would have had chocolate milk with dinner.
6. I would have worn my pjs all day because it was cold.
7. I would have drawn pictures on every page of my school work, just to make it prettier.
8. I would have asked for a hug from my Mom, even if I was in the bath and soaking wet.
9. I would have drawn a lady bug on my toe because it belonged there.
10. I would have been excited about using a new toothbrush.

I would have done all these things, so I can't really fault my children for doing them.  Sometimes I need to remember that I would do it, if I could, or if I'd thought of it first.
