30 misses & hits

Things I miss about being a kid:

Swinging on the swing-set for hours

Going to the library and finding 15 picture books to take out, knowing I can go through them in a week

Playing in the ball pit at chuck e. cheese/mcdonald's/that one kids clothing store in Centre Mall

Building a fort with blankets and couch cushions

via Natalie Dee

Colouring and cut n' paste

Barbie fashion shows

Sledding

Wearing track pants all.the.time

Disney/Broadway duets with my sister when we should've been doing homework

Being read to

Arranging my dollhouse to be just so

Floating in a pool for hours on end in the summer

Dress-up

Lego build-a-thons

Seeing my friends everyday



Things I like about adulthood:

Flexible bedtime

No math homework

Not everything is bubblegum flavoured

Sushi

The internet

The ability to see more of the world

No one forces me to run track or do the long jump

The ability to spoil my supper with fewer witnesses

More confidence in myself

"Disposable" income

Rock shows

Spas

HBO & AMC

The ability to vote (for serious, I was so excited to be able to vote when I turned 18)

Longer books with bigger words

I totally remember that Centre Mall store with the balls! What was it called? It was built up in this tile 'pool' area. We would always get an Orange Julius after that. Thanks for the blast from the past. Sigh, east Hamilton.

I love your lists, keep 'em coming.
