I Resign!

[Isabella Thorne]

ADULT RESIGNATION LETTER

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. I want to go to McDonald's and think that it's a four star restaurant. I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make ripples with rocks. I want to think M&Ms are better than money because you can eat them. I want to lie under a big oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summer's day.

I want to return to a time when life was simple. When all you knew were colours, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes, 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 simply 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, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams, the imagination, mankind, and making angels in the snow.

So... here's my chequebook and my car-keys, my credit card bills and my bank 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." -----

----- "Tag! You're it." -----

Oh no I'm not, I'M base!!!

M&M's have always been better than money, and always will be.

To paraphrase Freewheelin' Franklin, M&M's will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no M&M's!

 

[Juspar Emvan]

OK I signed the form. Who do I give it to. Please tell me!

 

[Merelan]

Since Laurel runs the site then must be we send them in to her. But, if we aren't adults then we don't like boys? Isn't that the way it was? I cannot remember, being senile. If so, forget it.

 

[Rando]

Anyone up for a game of DOCTOR, HIDE-N-GO SEEK?

 

[Carl East]

Isabella, can you and I play doctors and nurses, I used to love that game. hehe

OH, TO BE EIGHT AGAIN!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A man asked his wife,
"What would you most like for your birthday?"

She said, "I'd love to be eight again."

On the morning of her birthday, he got her up
bright and early and off they went to a theme park.

He put her on every ride in the park
--the Death Slide, The Screaming Loop, the Wall of
Fear. Everything there was, she had a go.

She staggered out of the theme park five hours
later, her head reeling and her stomach upside down.

Into McDonalds they went, where she was given a
Double Big Mac with extra fries and a strawberry
shake.

Then off to a theater to see Star Wars--more burgers,
popcorn, cola and sweets.

At last she staggered home with her husband and
collapsed into bed.

Her husband leaned over and asked, "Well, dear, what
was it like being eight again?"

One eye opened and she groaned,
"Actually I meant dress size."
